Welcome and thank you for joining us on this incredible exploration of Christian contemplative practice. As a way to set the context for the rest of the course, we invite you to check out Leslie's introduction above, as well as the following bonus clip with Father Thomas Keating and Ken Wilber.

Listen as Leslie describes her initial upbringing in the Catholic Church, through her dark night of the soul as she lost her connection to the Christianity, and her subsequent return to Christian practice in a fuller, more embodied, and more integral way. Whether you are a practicing Christian or, like many of us, recently coming back to the Christian faith after experimenting with other traditions and practices, you will surely recognize your own reflection somewhere in Leslie’s extraordinary journey.
