What a powerful time it was journeying with Teresa of Avila recently and all the wonderful pilgrims who made the retreat what it was. Above are some of the pilgrims making their way contemplatively around the Labryinth of the Seven Dwellings.
We began at the First Dwelling: The Awakening – reflecting on how in our lives we may become more awake to the presence of the divine, to the presence of each moment. And we walked…
Stepping into the Second Dwelling: The Return – how may we return, or commit, again and again to our path, to the depth of being calling us.
Being invited into the Third Dwelling: Self-Knowledge – how we can shift our vision to know the True Self, and not becoming absorbed by the smaller self and personality.
Following into the Fourth Dwelling: Interior Recollection – how can we become more subtly aware and sensitive in our daily living to the divine indwelling and all the loving impulses waiting for us.
Falling into the Fifth Dwelling: Surrender – repeatedly surrendering our plans, our agendas, our expectations (spiritual or otherwise), and abiding in the Love of All That Is.
Being led into the Sixth Dwelling: The Betrothal and the place of Purification – can we allow ourselves to be purified over and over without complaining, without running. Can we know joy in the midst of purification knowing it is preparing us for union with The Beloved.
With pureness of heart coming into the Seventh Dwelling: The place where only you and the Beloved reside. There are no words here, but only the whispers between lovers in the night.

These Dwellings are based upon the newly released and newly titled book: Meditations with Teresa of Avila – A Journey into the Sacred, published by New World Library.
I give deep thanks to my sister Teresa, and to all the pilgrims who journeyed with me recently in Avila.
