by Nicki Verploegen (Author)
'Organic Spirituality' helps readers recover the sense of awe, vitality, and wonder that they had as children. Nicki Verploegen enables us to see that the contemplative life does not mean retreating from the world but discovering joy in the everday. Her sixfold path shows us how to find our way organically through slowing down, sharing stories, stillness, solitude, surrender, and solidarity. If you want to experience God's love in the ordinary things in your life, read and apply this book. -- Joseph G. Donders, author of 'Jesus the Stranger' Sometimes the hardest step is knowing where and how to begin. Organic Spirituality provides a resounding answer, a jumping off place for living with more balance and conscious awareness of our solidarity with all the earth. -- Megan McKenna, author of Not Counting Women and Children Nicki Verploegen holds a doctorate in spirituality and has been giving retreats and spiritual direction for over twenty years. A Montana rancher's daughter, she has spent time in Japan, Indonesia, Tanzania, and Liberia exploring approaches to contemplative living. She is author of 'Planning and Implementing Retreats: A Parish Handbook' and 'Meditations With Merton'. Currently, she resides at St. Joseph Dwelling Place in Vermont.
