Spiritual Wanderlust Podcast Interview


Christine Valters Paintner was interview by Kelly Deutsch on the Spiritual Wanderlust podcast.

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!
