Musings - Wilderness Contemplative Prayer

In this special episode of Nature as Beloved, Nature as Self, we explore how Wilderness Contemplative Prayer as a path into divine intimacy—where silence becomes the language of God, and the soul sinks into a deep, sacred stillness.

Further, we explore:

• The mystical imagery of the “abyss of God” found in Christian contemplative tradition—from Angela of Foligno to Meister Eckhart, Hadewijch, and John Ruusbroec.
• How to engage in Wilderness Christian Contemplative Prayer using sacred landscapes and images to foster a deeper sense of awe, surrender, and belonging.

From the Grand Canyon to the mystics’ visions of the abyss of God, this episode invites you to open inwardly and downward—toward the Divine Depth that lies within all things.
