What If Prayer Was Never About the Right Words? | A New Way of Living Sacredly
Recorded live on March 25, 2026 — What if the most profound prayer happens not in a pew, but while washing dishes, kneading bread, or sharing a quiet cup of tea?
In this soul-stirring conversation, author Margaret Somerville invites us to reimagine prayer as a way of being — not a formula to perfect. Drawing from her Celtic spiritual roots, decades of pilgrimage to the Isle of Iona, and deep engagement with Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and Jewish traditions, Margaret reveals how holiness shimmers in the smallest gestures of everyday life.
Through six transformative pathways — Sacred Space, Release, Naming, Wilderness, Nourishment, and Peace — she offers gentle practices and stories that move us beyond unanswered petitions into a deeper communion with self, others, and the divine.
This conversation was beautifully co-facilitated by Rabbi Shelly Barnathan and Imam Jamal Rahman as part of the Charter for Compassion's Global Read series.
✨ Whether you're weary of rigid religion, longing for spiritual renewal, or simply seeking meaning in the ordinary — this conversation is for you.
