Beverly Lanzetta, a leading contemplative scholar and theologian, has spent decades at the edges of spiritual tradition, charting the terrain where contemplative paths converge and the soul’s evolution continues. Now, in ten contemplations, she offers language for what so many are sensing: we are not witnessing the decline of the sacred but its next emergence.
A book for seekers—within our traditions and beyond them—who long for a spirituality deep enough to hold the via feminina, the intercontemplative path, the soul’s seasons of transformation, and the anguish of global suffering. Lanzetta companions and invites readers to participate as the quickening pulse of holy matter is beating toward a new mysticism.
Beverly Lanzetta, PhD, is a theologian, spiritual teacher, and author of many books on constructive mysticism, global spirituality, the new monasticism, and feminist theology, including Emerging Heart: Global Spirituality and the Sacred and Radical Wisdom: A Feminist Mystical Theology. Dedicated to theological openness and spiritual nonviolence, her work has been praised for its wisdom, eloquence, and mystical insight. She lives in Tucson, Arizona.
