Interview With Rev. Dr. Sarah Bachelard

Sarah reflects on St. Paul's writings about no longer thinking about ourselves. This is so liberating from the way we tend to focus on ourselves and only making our suffering worse. We also sort of go off script toward the end, when Sarah asks me about living in the current climate in the United States today as a committed contemplative.

Sarah is an ordained Anglican priest and retreat leader, based in Canberra, Australia. She is the founding director of Benedictus Contemplative Church. Sarah will be the keynote speaker at this summer's John Main Seminar in Vancouver this August, hosted annually by the World Community for Christian Meditation.

Reviews

I have thoroughly enjoyed every podcast interview, yet I found this one especially inspiring. I am very appreciative of the integrative lens through which you and your guests understand mature spiritual practice. In this interview, as in several others, the discussion touched on dynamics of fundamentalism and spiritual bypassing. The former has been named as such once or twice, yet not the latter. I would love it if you could delve into the issue of spiritual bypassing directly at some point.
