Earth Rising Podcast – Touching Sacred Earth: Expressive Art and Spiritual Practice

Christine was interviewed for Earth Rising Podcast on Touching Sacred Earth: Expressive Art and Spiritual Practice.

From the show notes:

Christine Valters Paintner has spent her career and life as a Benedictine oblate exploring the link between the disciplines of making art and having a spiritual practice. We contemplate how these two disciplines provide an access point for relating to the natural world and deepening our relationship to Earth, while activating our imagination and relationship to mystery.

Christine also shares what it can mean to slow down and cultivate a contemplative practice in the midst of our busy lives, including some practical ideas and insights for how to do this. She is also a poet and we end the interview with an offering from her writings.
