“Dear Cynthia, In preaching the passion yesterday, I called heavily on your teachings that were recorded in the “Wisdom Jesus” series. I must say that your wisdom approach to holy week has changed my life and that of the congregation I serve. I have told many friends how you have singlehandedly rescued Christianity for me, and that isn’t an understatement. I just thought it would be nice to let you know that, especially in lieu of the fact we are now in Holy Week, and that is clearly where your impact on my ministry has been so significant...”

- from an Episcopal Priest.

Cynthia’s book of the same name will be released in August by Shambhala.

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".

Boehme for Beginners – 7 CD set

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.
