Can an interspiritual path lead to depth and transformation, rather than dissolving into superficiality? Mirabai Starr responds with a resounding yes. While honouring the richness of commitment to a single tradition, she shows how a sincere engagement with multiple mystical paths can create a tapestry of wisdom that enriches and deepens the journey. In this retreat, Mirabai offers readings, teachings, and practices drawn from the world’s major spiritual traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Her purpose is not conversion but the invitation to experience how diverse traditions converge in their longing for the Divine. In a time of global interconnectedness, these teachings encourage us to move beyond tolerance toward genuine appreciation and honouring of diversity. Immersing in these practices can open us to the “One Heart” that pervades and sustains all creation. As this is a LIVE recording, you may notice some audio variability and background noise. Mirabai Starr is an author, teacher, and translator of the mystics, known for her work in interspiritual dialogue and the contemplative life. She has translated works such as Dark Night of the Soul by John of the Cross and The Showings of Julian of Norwich, and is the author of God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics. Drawing on her Jewish roots, her years at the interspiritual Lama Foundation, and her own journey of loss and transformation, she teaches nationally and internationally on the wisdom of the mystics and the Sacred Feminine.
