Organic Spirituality: A Sixfold Path for Contemplative Living

Organic Spirituality recovers our natural sense of awe and wonder, which we embraced in childhood but lost in the rigors of adult life. Vandergrift enables us to see that Christian life is not a retreat from the world but discovering joy in the everyday. Her six-fold path shows us how to find our way organically through slowing down, sharing stories, stillness, solitude, surrender, and solidarity. Nicki Verploegen Vandergrift, PH.D. is director of spiritual and ministerial development at the Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A Montana rancher's daughter, she has spent time in Japan, Indonesia, Tanzania, Kenya, and Liberia exploring approaches to contemplative life.Vandergrif, Nicki Verpolegen Vandergrift
