Christine Valters Paintner on the Power of a Word — Richard’s Rohr Daily Meditations

In this video, author Christine Valters Paintner sits down with CAC’s Publications Manager Mark Longhurst to discuss themes from her new book “Give Me a Word: The Promise of an Ancient Practice to Guide Your Year.”

How can we receive a “word?" Christine discusses practical tactics like contemplative listening, dreamwork, and embodiment. She also invites you to embrace nature and sacred thresholds to tune into the voice of God.
