Welcome back to the Life As Spiritual Practice podcast! I am delighted to be finally sharing new episodes again, after an unexpectedly long hiatus. If you’ve been following along, you know that I needed to replace my podcast recording equipment. I was both humbled and astounded by the generosity of response. In just a week I had raised beyond my goal. I cannot tell you what it means to me, to have so many people pouring into this work. THANK YOU! I am deeply grateful, and I’m glad to be back, sharing conversations again!
This week we explore photography as a spiritual practice with spiritual director, photographer, and permaculturist Stephanie Bell. She is a dear friend, and was part of my inspiration to become a spiritual director. I was honored to hear her journey with photography, and to learn about how it moved from being her career to an intimate contemplative practice.
Stephanie and I recorded this conversation in October, but I think this is the perfect time to be releasing it. She offers a sense of light and hope, and makes photography accessible. You will want to get outside and start taking pictures. You’ll want to listen to your photos through her visio divina practice. You may want to incorporate her ideas into your Lenten practices. I hope that this conversation sparks joy and curiosity in your soul.
