In this webinar:
We are delighted to be hosting a conversation with interspiritual leader and author, Rory McEntee. Our conversation will roam through the terrain of interspirituality, the personal call to contemplation and action, and the New Monasticism. How do these orientations intersect and what do they invite us to as spiritual seekers in today's complex world?
Rory McEntee is an author, scholar, educator, and contemplative activist. As a close friend and mentee of the late Brother Wayne Teasdale, Rory helped to found the Interspiritual Movement, traveling and participating in dialogues with world spiritual leaders, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Pope Francis. Rory served as administrator for the Snowmass InterSpiritual Dialogues—a 30-year project convened by Father Thomas Keating, engaging contemplative leaders from multiple faiths in intimate dialogue and contemplative practice. As a leader in the new monastic movement, Rory is a Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Charis Foundation for New Monasticism & Interspirituality, which supports various projects in interspirituality and new monasticism, including the “Future of Religion and InterSpirituality” Dialogues, HeartFire Festivals, the Thomas Keating Interspiritual Seminars, and Charis (Inter)Spiritual Formation Program.
“We need to understand, to really grasp at an elemental level,
that the definitive revolution is the spiritual awakening of humankind.”
― Rory McEntee, New Monasticism: An Interspiritual Manifesto for Contemplative Living
