Give Me a Word

In Give Me a Word, spiritual director and poet Christine Valters Paintnner invites listeners to engage in a centuries-old practice of seeking a guiding word for the year ahead, rooted in the contemplative traditions of the desert mothers and fathers. Through thirty contemplative and creative exercises, she encourages a mindful approach to personal growth by fostering deep listening and reflection. Rather than pursuing specific resolutions, participants will learn to embrace insights and wisdom that emerge from their chosen word, paving the way for a year of inner discovery and clarity.
