Saints, bodhisattvas and genii locorum, or spirits of place, are the names in various wisdom traditions given to guardian beings who protect, assist and inspire. So what does it mean to call on these sacred beings?
In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss the role of patron saints who are associated with churches and shrines, days and names.
What powers might figures from Saint Mary to Saint Nicolas bring to us? How do we call upon them and how is their presence understood? Rupert and Mark explore the ways in which saints connect heaven and earth in individual lives, particular places and at various times of the year.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The next episode of The Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues will be the 100th!
In celebration, Rupert and Mark will talk with an in-person audience that people will also be available to join via live streaming.
Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon consider the role of harmony, wholeness and hope in the modern world. Themselves inspired by the book, Harmony, co-authored by King Charles, they consider new ways that are old of looking at the world, aided by science, poetry, and perennial wisdom traditions.
How is diversity transformed by awareness of unity? How might the unfolding of life aid transformation? Spirit, imagination and intelligence much matter.
