Christian Mysticism and Magic with Mike Morrell

Episode 2, The Unfolding Podcast

Mike is one of my dearest friends and all-time best conversation partners. We both share a deep interest in Christian history, mysticism, contemplative practices, and Occult traditions (which have never really been separate from the mystical or the mainstream). Mike also has an incredibly extensive collection of books on spirituality, Christianity, history, and the evolution of thought an humanity in general. He’s always trying to convince his friends to move to Asheville, and I’ve considered doing that simply to gain access to his library. We have a wide-ranging discussion on all kinds of mystical and historical nerdiness.

Mike Morrell is an award-winning, best-selling author, collaborator on The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation with Fr. Richard Rohr, founder of Wisdom Camp, and a founding organizer of the justice, arts, and spirituality Wild Goose Festival. Mike curates contemplative community experiences via Relational Skills, taking joy in holding space for the extraordinary transformation that can take place at the intersection of anticipation, imagination, and radical acceptance. Readers and writers can check out Speakeasy, Mike's network of off-the-beaten-path spirituality books — and those who love talking about them. Mike lives with his family in Asheville, North Carolina. You can read his ongoing exploration of Spirit, Culture, and Permaculture at MikeMorrell.org.
