On Prayer: An interview with the Rev Cynthia Bourgeault

Prayer: Abiding in Christ. During our week with the new bishop's training conference, I had an opportunity to sit down with Cynthia Bourgeault and ask her about a life of prayer. The Rev Cynthia Bourgeault is a modern-day mystic, Episcopal priest, writer and internationally acclaimed retreat leader. She divides her time between solitude in her seaside hermitage in Maine and a demanding schedule traveling globally to spread the recovery of the Christian contemplative and Wisdom paths. She is a faculty member emeritus of the Center for Action and Contemplation and the founding director of an international network of Wisdom schools, uniting classic Christian mystical and monastic teaching with contemporary practices of mindfulness and embodied presence. She has been honored as one of the 100 most spiritually influential living people in 2021.
