]]> episodic no Kelly Deutsch riskbeinghuman@gmail.com no full Celtic Spirituality & Sacred Skinny Dipping - with Nick Mayhew Smith Celtic Spirituality & Sacred Skinny Dipping - with Nick Mayhew Smith 4 Kelly Deutsch You might describe Nick Mayhew Smith’s spirituality first and foremost as immersive.


Driven by a desire to touch, see, and experience, Nick has travelled the length and breadth of the UK, seeking out Britain’s holiest places. In each place, he did as the monks and hermits did – whether that’s sleeping in a remote cave, feeding the animals, wading naked into an icy sea to pray, or rowing out to isolated islands.


What is it about nature based practices that draws us? Why were they so central to the Celts?


And why has mainstream Christianity conveniently forgotten about them today?


Join us for a rich/fascinating conversation where you’ll discover:


 🔹 The spiritual significance of skinny dipping

 🔸 The Celtic ritual for putting right your relationship with creation

 🔹 How the landscape influenced Celtic culture and practice

 🔸 What drove the Celt Christians to embrace sacred trees instead of cut them down (like they did in continental Europe)

 🔹 The saint who influenced (and instructed) early monks to pray in the nude–and why

 🔸 How to recover a sense of the numinous in your own life


Nick Mayhew-Smith is a theologian and travel writer whose work is dedicated to recovering ancient Celtic wisdom. His books include The Naked Hermit, a book on Celtic spirituality, Landscape Liturgies, Britain’s Pilgrim Places (a walking pilgrimage guide published by the British Pilgrimage Trust), and Britain’s Holiest Places, which has been turned into a BBC series.


He is an honorary research fellow at Roehampton University, where he works with the Susanna Wesley Foundation on a range of environment and theology projects, and lives in London with his wife Anna.

Both avid writers, teachers, interspiritual pioneers, activists, and hermits–they share a depth of wisdom that is borne of silence.


Join Father Dave Denny and I to learn:

 🔹 How living in the Middle East changed his life forever

 🔸 What steaming hot tamales can teach us about the sacramentality of the world

 🔹 What, in his 13 years of teaching mysticism, his students were most surprised by

 🔸 What it might look like to be a contemplative activist


Dave Denny describes himself as “poet, priest, and desert rat.” Setting out to be a journalist, Dave’s life took a turn when he became a Carmelite monk at the Spiritual Life Institute for 30 years. Since then he has dedicated himself to writing, interspiritual dialogue, and teaching, while living the life of a hermit.


Dave is the co-founder of the Desert Foundation, which invites people of all walks to explore the intimate depths of their own heart. Find out more about the Desert Foundation’s retreats and contemplative workshops at sandandsky.org.

Like when you meet a wise, holy person. The depth of their presence overwhelms us, floods our body with their peace.

Have you ever wondered what's going on on a biological level when this happens?

Or, wondered why it's so much easier to feel grounded when we meditate with others vs. on our own?

Or maybe been curious about how life's traumas impact the contemplative life?

Get ready, everyone - this is one of my FAVORITE intersections. 🤩🤩

Neuroscience and the contemplative life.

Embodiment and spirituality. The mystical and the muscles, minerals, and membranes.

In today’s episode I speak with Dr. Bonnie Badenoch, who specializes in precisely this intersection. Bonnie is an interpersonal neurobiologist *and* a contemplative!

She has spent decades researching how that connection, and most importantly, presence, impacts our bodies.

You might think of her as the Brene Brown of presence-- combining lots of heart with accessible research.


Tune in to learn:

🔹 What happens in your body when you’re deeply present

🔸 How trauma impacts contemplative life

🔹 What neurobiology tells us is the one key to healing trauma

🔸 The myth of self regulation 

🔹 The hidden cause of our over-rationalization (why we always seem to be head-dominant instead of heart or gut - and how to change that!)

🔸 What happens in our brains during ego death

🔹 How polyvagal theory revolutionizes our understanding of the nervous system


Bonnie Badenoch, PhD, LMFT is a therapist, mentor, and author who delights in integrating the discoveries of relational neuroscience into the art of therapy. 

For 28 years, her work has focused on supporting trauma survivors and those with significant attachment wounds reshape their neural landscape to support a life of meaning, resilience, and warm relationships. 

She is the co-founder of Center for Brain-Wise Living, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering awareness of the brain, mind, and relationships in the service of creating a more awake and compassionate world.

At this stage of life, Bonnie enjoys mentoring those in the helping professions through offering longer-term immersion trainings in the embodiment of interpersonal neurobiology principles. 

Her books include Being a Brain-Wise Therapist, The Brain-Savvy Therapist’s Workbook, and The Heart of Trauma. People are saying that these books fill the gap between science and practice with clarity, compassion, and heart.

I can’t think of a better way to start the season than a conversation with contemplative teacher, Carl McColman.

Carl has been in the Spiritual Wanderlust vibe for decades: he’s a writer, retreat leader, podcaster and spiritual director. While Christian himself, he also finds himself drawn to all those juicy intersections between Buddhism, Pagan traditions, and Christianity. 

Join us for our conversation to learn: 

🔹 The 2 key figures that made Carl a contemplative

🔸 The one piece of advice from a Trappist monk that changed his life

🔹 His two realizations that led him to rewrite the Big Book of Christian Mysticism

🔸 Why paradox is important for the mystic

🔹 The gifts of the dharma - and how you can decide if interspirituality is right for you

🔸 Why monasticism is key to Celtic spirituality

🔹 Carl’s coming out story and God’s pronouns


Carl has written numerous books, including An Invitation to Celtic Wisdom, Befriending Silence, Unteachable Lessons, and Eternal Heart: The Mystical Path to a Joyful Life. One of his most popular books, called the Big Book of Christian Mysticism, is going to be releasing its second edition in August of 2023.

Carl and his wife live in Georgia, where he is a lay member of a Trappist community, the same kind of religious community that Thomas Merton was a part of.

Want to join Carl for a live class? Carl will be teaching our upcoming masterclass on Celtic monasticism for the Celtic Spirituality School. Learn more and register at celticschool.org!

From his childhood in oppressed Poland, to being an undocumented immigrant in the US, meeting Christ in India, and founding a new monastic community, Father Adam Bucko’s story has given him a razor-sharp vision into the meaning of life.


Join us to learn:


🔸 What gives Adam hope in the midst of so much suffering and pain

🔹 What it means to travel into our despair–and how that can provide us a “container in which grace can descend”

🔸 The role of the Black Madonna in Eastern Europe

🔹 How meeting a homeless child in India changed his entire life path

🔸 His top 6 favorite Eastern European saints–and why we need Saint Faustina more than ever


Join us as we navigate some of life’s most tender paths.


Father Adam Bucko is a spiritual director, activist, and Episcopal priest (with dreads!). After growing up in Eastern Europe, Adam went on to spend many years working with homeless youth in New York, through his award winning organization, the Reciprocity Foundation.


He has long been dedicated to a life of engaged contemplation, and is remembered for being a founding father of the New Monastic movement.


He currently serves as a director of The Center for Spiritual Imagination, and is a member of The Community of the Incarnation, a ‘new monastic’ community dedicated to democratizing the gifts of monastic spirituality. He is the author of several books, including his latest, Let Your Heartbreak be Your Guide: Lessons in Engaged Contemplation.

We curl up by the hearth and wait, attentive to the life pregnant in the darkness.

During such a season, what does it mean to give birth to the Holy?

In this episode, we are joined by author and bestselling author, Christine Valters Paintner. Together we dive into:


🔸 Why Mary has so many names

🔹 Christine’s favorite name of Mary at this season in her life (it may surprise you!)

🔸 How Christine ended up the abbess of an online monastery

🔹How her love for Jungian thought intersects with her Catholic spirituality

🔸 How the passing of her own mother birthed a book on Mary

🔹Mary as warrior (an image in stark contrast to the placid woman in blue we usually see!)

🔸 What was Hildegard’s favorite name for Mary, and what it has to do with the divine spark!


Join us for a delightful conversation about Christine’s latest book, Birthing the Holy. And coming in January, her full Masterclass on the wildly versatile Hildegard in our Women Mystics School! Join us at womenmystics.org.

Christine Valters Paintner is the abbess of an online monastery called for Abbey of the Arts, which offers classes and resources on contemplative practice and creative expression. A poet, spiritual director, and part-time hermit, she now resides in Galway, Ireland, with her husband, John.

Her several books include Earth, Our Original Monastery; The Artist’s Rule; The Soul’s Slow Ripening; Water, Wind, Earth, and Fire; The Wisdom of the Body; and her latest, Birthing the Holy.

(I’ve been sharing her writing with all of my friends!) She reminds me of a modern day Rumi or Hafiz. –And if you haven’t read Rumi or Hafiz, start there, and then pick up the work of our guest, Chelan Harkin!


In her writing and in her life, Chelan has two goals: to bring acceptance, belonging, and worth to all of those uncomfortable emotions we’ve been taught to hate; and to make room for our hearts in a heady world, and allowing our heartful wisdom, truth and inspiration to flow.


She has a pretty wild publishing story, filled with what she calls “prayer experiments gone right.” Her first two books are called Susceptible to Light and Let Us Dance! The Stumble and Whirl with The Beloved. Her third book, Wild Grace, is on the way. 


Today we’re going to discuss her poetry (and let her read some–it’s wild magic!!), how to accept our occasional asshole-ness, what it was like growing up Baha’i in a small town, and what all of that has to do with mysticism.


Learn more about Chelan at www.chelanharkin.com.

Today I have joining me a fellow spiritual Wanderluster, Fr. Ronald Rolheiser. Fr. Ron is a professor, retreat leader, award-winning author, and serves as president of the Oblate School of Theology. One reason why his writings are so popular is that he is able to speak in very human language, which I deeply appreciate. His books include The Holy Longing, The Restless Heart, Sacred Fire, and Wrestling with God.


Join us for a conversation about mysticism, longing, divine union, the role of asceticism, and what a true contemplative looks like.

Join us to explore questions like:

🔸 What does an identity crisis have to do with detachment? 

🔹 What does it mean to accept even the most difficult experiences - like accepting our own resentment?

🔸 How do you slow down your reactions so you can tell what’s triggering you?

🔹 How does your shadow reveal your addictions?

🔸 Why we need to take care of our bodies like house plants

🔹 What kinds of behavior should we never accept?


And above all: Why does the divine show up in the least expected places?



Quotes from Ruth Burrows, shared in this episode:

“God is always working to bring us to an awareness and acceptance of our poverty, which is the essential condition of our being able to receive him.

And the petty frustrations, the restrictions, humiliations, the occasions when we are made to feel poignantly and distressingly hedged around, not in control of the world, not even in control of that tiny corner of it we are supposed to call our own, are his chosen channel into the soul.”


“It is born in on me more as the years go by, how profound is this theme of human helplessness and our loving acceptance of it. It is truly mystical.”

That means he’s the advocate and facilitator for this woman to become a saint in the Catholic church.


Fr. Bob Wild was a personal friend and collaborator of Catherine de Hueck Doherty, a little known Russian contemplative. Catherine was a mentor to Thomas Merton and is known for her anti-racism work, introducing North America to Russian spirituality, and for starting a lay monastic community called Madonna House, of which Fr. Bob is a long time member.

Fr. Bob has spent his life serving in a variety of ways: leading retreats, living in solitude, editing Catherine’s books, and now is the postulator of the cause for Catherine’s canonization as a saint in the Catholic church.

He was my first ever theology professor, and he opened my eyes to this magical universe so alight with wonder. I found my 20-year-old notes from his class, and read the first line I wrote: “The first premise of Christianity is an OPENNESS to Reality.”


Today Regis and I will do some of our own wondering and wandering through these sparkling spaces. I’ll ask him about this worldview which Richard Rohr has called Alternative Orthodoxy, or even panentheism–something we called the “sacramental imagination.” What does it look like to believe in the Universal Christ, the Logos that inhabits all things? How did this sacramental imagination inspire writers like JRR Tolkein, Flannery O’Connor, Walker Percy, and CS Lewis? What changes when we know our own fundamental goodness? That we are all “walking around, shining like the sun”?


I’m bringing with me some of the notes I wrote down from Theology 101, which in itself is a delicious primer:

🔸“The only condition for being faithfully religious… is to live always the real intensely.” - Luigi Giussani

🔹“Everything beautiful belongs to us.” - Justin Martyr, 2nd century

🔸“Catholicism is the profound, continuing affirmation of the goodness of God and the world he made.” - Regis Martin

🔹“God was in love but could not keep the secret. The telling of it became creation.” - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

🔸“For Christ plays in ten thousand places / lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not His. / To the Father through the features of men’s faces.” - Gerard Manley Hopkins

🔹“Crisis has the advantage of clearing the air: you can no longer pretend. It forces you to make a choice. Am I going to become a mystic or simply go mad? Will I aspire to become a saint or slug?” - Regis Martin


Regis Martin is a professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville. His books include Garlands of Grace: An Anthology of Great Christian Poetry; The Suffering of Love: Christ’s Descent into the Hell of Human Hopelessness, and many more.

She calls Teresa of Avila her best friend, and has written several books on the mystic (including Teresa of Avila: Mystical Writings, Holy Daring, Ecstasy and Common Sense).

What followed was a lifetime passion for Christianity’s mystical tradition, and its intimate, feminine, socially active, and uplifting spirit.


Matthew, now a spiritual theologian, is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Join us for a jam-packed conversation about:

🔸 The necessary but often-forgotten connection between mysticism and social justice

🔹 Which of the two streams of Christianity is dominant today

🔸 What caused the shift from a love-based religion to a fear-based religion

🔹 How contemplation impacts our reptilian brains

🔸 Why we need both the sacred feminine and the sacred masculine


–And so much more!


Matthew Fox is a spiritual theologian, retreat leader, and activist. He has written over 3 dozen books including Original Blessing, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, A Spirituality Named Compassion, The Hidden Spirituality of Men, Christian Mystics and Julian of Norwich: Wisdom in a Time of Pandemic--and Beyond.

What would it look like to move beyond appreciating nature, even past protecting her, to loving her? And realizing, perhaps, that we are already a part of her?


Join us on the Spiritual Wanderlust podcast to learn about:

🔸The forgotten heritage of the Judeo-Christian world and its deep relationship with nature

🔹How to re-wild your spirituality, wherever you are

🔸3 things we need to Unlearn in order to reconnect with the land, other creatures, and ourselves

🔹Victoria’s longstanding friendship with a deer named Mary

🔸How our connection and conversation with nature (and each other) *is* Christ.


Victoria Loorz is an "eco-spiritual director" and co-founder of the Wild Church Network. Her book, Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred is a deeply personal invitation for everyone to re-member themselves back into intimate, sacred relationship with the rest of the living world.  


From the book’s prologue:

"This is a story about a land where the trees talk and the waters croon and the people fall in love with birds, who love them back. This is a story about an enchanted forest hiding in plain sight, invisible until, somehow, the veil drops—and what was unseen can suddenly be seen. You may catch a glimpse when you cross the threshold on the far edge of the abandoned field, or when, just for a blinking instant, you notice how the brambles of the blackberry bush connect you to everything..."

Why is it just as important to know your lowest number on the Enneagram as your highest?

The answers might surprise you. (I was blown away!)

Those of you who have been following the Spiritual Wanderlust podcast for a while know that I love talking about intersections. One of my favorite intersections is spirituality, neuroscience, and psychology. That’s a big part of what we do here - offering tools from Contemplative traditions paired with those from the latest research in how our bodies and brains were designed. Together, they give us a delightfully clear path to wholeness and divine union.

Well, today you’re in for a special treat. I will be speaking with Dr. Jerome Lubbe, who shares our love for intersections. He’s a functional neurologist who has written a fascinating book called the Brain Based Enneagram, and frequently weaves together spirituality, psychology, and his decades of research in neurology.

Tim Burnette founded a spiritual community that is hard to define. It’s not quite church - not everyone is Christian - but they do gather on Sunday mornings. They don’t even have a shared set of beliefs, only a shared set of values. Their goal is to be a contemplative community in action.

But what 

does that look like, when everyone believes differently? When everyone is at different stages of spiritual growth? How do you make sure everyone belongs?

Join us on the Spiritual Wanderlust podcast to explore what it might look like to have an expansive, inclusive community centered in the contemplative.

Tim Burnette is a writer, philosopher, teacher, and founder of the Way Collective. He believes liberation is possible when we approach reality in a holistic, relational, embodied, contemplative way. He agrees with Vonnegut that: "You can see all kinds of things from the edge that you can’t see from the center."

Today I am joined by disabled scholar, activist, and author Dr. Amy Kenny to talk about precisely that. Amy will share lessons from her own experience of having a disabled body, particularly living into the Unknown. She’ll explain why it’s so important for all of us to dismantle ableism–and how it shows up in capitalism, patriarchy, and even perfectionism! The idea that there is one perfect body, one ideal way of being in the world she names as “eugenic.” Instead, Amy says, disabled bodies remind us that there are different ways of being human, of being divine image bearers–and that difference should not just be tolerated, but celebrated.


Join us for a candid conversation about Amy Kenny’s forthcoming book, My Body is Not a Prayer Request: Disability Justice in the Church, which will be released on May 17, 2022. To learn more about Amy, visit www.amy-kenny.com.

Laura Michele Diener, a Women Studies and Medieval scholar, was initially surprised to find the boldest women were in the convents. Today we’ll talk about the intersection of mysticism with female empowerment, medieval history, and modern day literature. We’ll also talk about two more recent women whose writings and activism got them into plenty of trouble: Sigrid Undset, the author of the classic trilogy Kristin Lavransdatter, and Dorothy Day, the social activist and founder of the Catholic Worker movement.


We’ll explore the restlessness that all these women shared - for it was this, their unnamable longing, that led to their divine search for connection with all creatures.


Laura Michele Diener is a professor of medieval and ancient history at Marshall University, where she directed the Women’s Studies program from 2014-2021. She loves telling stories throughout time, including Norse mythology, medieval spirituality, and the history of fashion.

And what do we Westerners need to unlearn in order to be receptive to indigenous wisdom?


Rev. Dr. Randy Woodley is an activist, theologian, wisdom-keeper, and Cherokee descendant. He spends much of his time sharing indigenous traditions through his teaching and his Indigenous Center for Earth Justice, Eloheh. Eloheh is a Cherokee word for harmony, abundance, wholeness, and peace. 


Join us for a conversation about “making relatives”--whether of land or trees or people different from us; the key components of the “Harmonious Way,” or what Randy calls humanity’s “original instructions” for how to live, which are common to all indigenous peoples; and how the lineage of trauma has hurt both those in the margins and those who caused the harm.


We’ll also explore what it means to decolonize our spirituality and learn from each others’ stories.


Randy’s books include Shalom and the Community of Creation: An Indigenous Vision, and the upcoming book of reflections and practices, Becoming Rooted: One Hundred Days of Reconnecting with Sacred Earth. He and his wife, Edith, co-sustain Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice and Eloheh Farm & Seeds outside Portland, Oregon. Learn more about their programs at www.eloheh.org and www.randywoodley.com.

It’s hard to grasp. By definition! We use words like darkness, apophatic, cloud of unknowing.

And it’s pretty common to have experiences that feel mystical, but may have been more intuitive or serendipitous.

That’s why many of the mystics point to qualities, or fruits in the mystic’s life, to discern whether someone is a mystic or not.

Curious if you fit the description?

Here are 6 of the signs the mystics name that you, too, might be a mystic.

However, coming into his identity as a gay man didn’t leave him much room outside of the attempts to “pray the gay away.” Today Mitch will share his story of emerging from the shame he had internalized to the freedom he found on his path to healing. 


Much of that healing journey happened in and through his body, ultimately resulting in Mitch becoming a coach and counselor himself. We’ll talk about one of his favorite embodied practices, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping), and how this practice taps into your body’s hardwiring so it can process, integrate, and ultimately heal itself.

You may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), a trait possessed by 20% of the population--and I’d wager 50% of contemplatives.


Thomas Merton once remarked that his fellow monks at Gethsemane weren’t contemplatives: they were just introverts. I’d say the term he was looking for was HSP. We crave silence, solitude, simplicity--and are also drawn into the depths of spirituality.


What does it mean to have bodies with this trait? Listen in to learn what this trait is, the biology behind it, the impact it has, as well as some practical strategies to help reset your nervous system so you can find what your bodyspirit needs to be fully alive.

Theology of the Body is a revolutionary way of looking at our bodies, our sexuality, and our longings. Christopher West, founder of the Theology of the Body Institute, bestselling author, and serious Bruce Springsteen fan - is the leading teacher on the topic. 


Today we’ll explore how our existential longings (one might call it our spiritual wanderlust??) intersect with our erotic longings, and how to interpret where they’re leading us.

Today we’ll talk about the ministry he started - inspired by Catholic Worker, Saint Francis, and Mother Teresa - and what he’s learned from the personal relationships with his friends who live in poverty. 


Clark Massey founded A Simple House in 2003, which he calls “an experiment in Christianity.” I volunteered with A Simple House for a year after college, where I received firsthand experience of small-scale ministry - and the scandalous notion of loving a few people really well.

Both the people I work with and my own inner work has grown by leaps and bounds using Internal Family Systems (IFS) for shadow work. 


Shadow work helps us examine the parts of ourselves that we would rather not look at. These are the parts of us that don’t fit into the picture of who we think we are--or who we think we should be. Today I will be joined by Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner and coach, Emily Kerpelman - and together we’ll share how we can use Internal Family Systems to do our own shadow work. We’ll also explore:


  • The 3 key “characters” you’ll meet while using IFS 
  • What really drives our behavior
  • Tools to turn down your anxiety
  • Why some religious concepts can be counterproductive to your inner work 
  • And a Rumi-inspired meditation at the end to meet all your own inner parts!


If you’re dedicated to your personal or spiritual growth, this episode is definitely for you!

You will learn - 

  • How to make therapy “meditation for 2”
  • How spirituality and psychology overlap in “thin spaces”
  • The 6 ways to know you’re in a “thin,” or liminal moment, where we become momentary mystics
  • 3 practical steps to living in divine presence throughout the day, even when you're busy
  • Plus, a sneak peek at the new book Jim is writing - part memoir, part exploration of how trauma can open us to mystical encounters.


Jim embodies contemplative wisdom so deeply that you’ll find your insides quieted by his very presence (I always do!).
