Now Streaming! Season 4 of The Cosmic We

When the crisis strikes, the response from the village must be a pause. There’s little that we can do, but we can be. We can listen. We can love our neighbors and we can host the spirit that flutters over every dawning day.

Dr. Barbara Holmes 

On the season 4 of The Cosmic We, we pause from our regular interview format to explore the themes of Dr. Barbara Holmes’ book Crisis Contemplation. Podcast hosts Dr. Holmes and Dr. Donny Bryant explore ways we can apply a contemplative response to the crises and chronic injustices we face in our world today. Drawing upon ancestral wisdom and their own personal experiences, they explore how crisis has the potential to catalyze transformation in our individual lives and in our communities. 

Dr. Barbara Holmes is a scholar, teacher, and former dean of the Memphis Theological Seminary who has dedicated her life to bridging the gap between science and spirituality. Her body of work extends an invitation for each one of us to embrace the mysticism of the everyday through communion with nature, making art, acts of service with, and witnessing ancestral wisdom. Today, Dr. Holmes lives in Florida, where she is learning to just be in communion with nature and her husband, George.  

The Cosmic We offers conversations for reflection, healing, and connection. Tune in to this season for more wisdom for greater resilience, self-discovery, and spiritual growth.
