When we surrender and yield, we are putting ourselves in the company of Christ and
Mary and all those who modeled this for us in their lives. Cynthia Bourgeault guides
us to look deeply at Centering Prayer “the prayer of the experience of surrender,” as
well as other meditative prayer practices, to better understand surrender as a gesture
of love. By taking a fresh look at pain, pleasure, and personal boundaries, we
discover our interconnectedness with God and all human beings, accessible only
through spiritual surrender.
Cynthia Bourgeault reconstructs Benedictine Spirituality, with its creative rhythms, patterns, and musical emphasis, as a practical form of spirituality to be used by all. Learn the key difference between chanting and speaking the psalms and additional practices to achieve Benedictine balance and transformation in everyday life. Subjects include: The Three Vows of Benedictine Life, the Three Values of Benedictine Community, and Work and Prayer Life – Alone and with Others.
Mary Magdalene & the Path of Conscious Love (10 CD set) - live recordingPLEASE NOTE
This live recording has some background noise and audio variability, and therefore the original price has been reduced by 25%
Join Cynthia Bourgeault as she takes us on a vivid in-depth journey through the Canonical and Gnostic Gospels to reclaim the highly esteemed Mary Magdalene of the early church, and to reveal her role as principal teacher and apostle. Learn to see both Mary Magdalene and Jesus with new eyes and to understand Jesus' teaching on 'relationship' with others as a tool for transformation.
Through this CD set, Cynthia leads us to uncover a "vision of Christianity based on transformative and redemptive love, versus renunciation and judgment -- a Christianity based on what connects us rather than what separates us".

Conscious Love (4 CD set) - live recording.
In this CD set, Cynthia explores how conscious love flows from our deeper selves, beyond identification, craving, wanting, and needing. We discover that conscious love abides beyond
all emotional states and polarities in a place where boundaries are diminished and our egoic perceptions dissolve. By living from this deep and ever present wellspring, we may feel pain,
fear, and anxiety but it will not overcome us. Conscious love exposes the cages that trap us
and guides us on the journey of transformation – a journey of out-pouring that comes from
an open and relaxed heart .

Boehme for Beginners (7 CD set) – live recording
In deep contemplative stillness this 17th century German shoemaker, gazing at a pewter dish sparkling in the sun, was suddenly swept up in a firestorm of unitive vision. Boehme, an underground genius of the Christian contemplative path, offers a unified metaphysic, with cosmology and psychology reinforcing each other in a transformative path. Boehme understood that will, desire, and pain are the raw materials through which something powerful and mighty is brought about. Thus these things are not to be feared or denied but transformed. "Desire is the ground of somethingness," a call to forgive and embrace the dark moments of the journey while participating in upholding this somethingness, which is none other than God. Topics include: surrender & Centering Prayer, levels of awareness, identification, the resigned will or letting it be, the supersensual life (beyond the 5 senses), Boehme's cosmology, building being, flow & constriction, friction & darkness as path, and the inner ground of liberty & peace.
