Web: https://trinitywallstreet.org/visit/st-pauls-chapelAuthor Mirabai Starr will share wisdom from her new book, Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground, which challenges readers to discover the extraordinary in the everyday. Grounded in lessons from spiritual teachers across the centuries and informed by her own experiences of heartbreak, Starr’s teachings offer an antidote to despair in these turbulent times, and a roadmap back to our common humanity.
After reading selections from her book, Starr will be in conversation with the Rev. Dr. Mark Bozzuti-Jones, Director of Spiritual Formation at the Trinity Retreat Center.
Mirabai Starr is an author and speaker who travels the world to share insights on contemplative living, writing as a spiritual practice, and the transformational power of grief and loss. Starr spent 20 years teaching philosophy and world religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos. She has written over a dozen books, receiving critical acclaim for her revolutionary contemporary translations of the mystics John of the Cross, Teresa of Ávila, and Julian of Norwich. Starr teaches seminars, workshops, and retreats, both in person and through her online community, Wild Heart.

Our 2024-2025 season focuses on themes of conflict and peacemaking: In a society that feels irreparably fractured, how can we work together toward peace? Six distinguished writers help us answer that question — and provide a roadmap for holding on to hope in trying times.
