Mysticism and Creation Spirituality - with Matthew Fox | The Spiritual Wanderlust Podcast

Fifty years ago, a young Matthew Fox asked Thomas Merton where he should go to study the mystics. 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 _______________________ WELCOME TO SPIRITUAL WANDERLUST. Contemplation. Embodiment. Mysticism. Mischief. Join former nun and neuroscience aficionado Kelly Deutsch as she interviews contemplative teachers, embodiment experts, psychologists, and mystics about the untamed frontiers of interior life. Each episode is jam packed with life-changing stories, spiritual practices, and powerful insight to support your journey toward wholeness and divine intimacy.
