Christine interviewed on Radiant Wellness and The Soul-Directed Life

This week I had the delight of being interviewed on two different radio shows about my new book The Soul’s Slow Ripening: 12 Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred.

Tune into The Soul-Directed Life to hear me talk about encircling prayer, seasonal rhythms, and three essential things and to hear my answers to Janet’s three intriguing questions about prayer at the end of our conversation.

Tune into Radiantly You! to hear me talk about the gifts of autumn and some of the stories of the Irish monks, including St. Gobnait and her dream and St. Kevin and the blackbird.
