Inhaltsangabe

Rarely are we spiritually traditioned or socially prepared to encounter one another deeply and peaceably across irreconcilable difference in today's polarized publics. A Companionable Way prepares minds, bodysouls, and hearts for demanding inner work required for peaceable encounters with integrity across interreligious and intercultural difference toward an expressive delight able to companion the suffering of self and others. Unmet yearnings and the unconscious refusal of deep feeling need redress, not only within analytical habits of mind, after all, but also in new communal "containers" - in this case, webs of spiritual friendship and circle-way communities of practice. Part memoir, part toolbox and holding space for the curiously contemplative, A Companionable Way witnesses to the deeply rooted Sacred available in a return to the body, devotion in conscious love, and a new-old "container" for holding the unconscious burden and conscious gift of deep feeling in our divisive world. It joins the search unfolding for a peaceable way of awakening, becoming uniquely human together across irreconcilable difference.
