Matthew Wright

The Rev. Matthew Wright is an Episcopal priest, a brilliant teacher, and a gifted retreat leader, nurtured in the Christian contemplative Wisdom tradition by Cynthia Bourgeault herself.  His primary interest is Wisdom: not knowing more, but knowing more deeply, fundamentally by the Way of the Heart. Matthew teaches that the heart is not only the seat of emotions, but the primary organ of spiritual perception, and he works to cultivate this mode of seeing. His contemplative practice is also informed by the Mevlevi Order of Sufism through the teachings of Camille and Kabir Helminski.

Matthew lives with his wife Yanick and cat Moonbeam on the grounds of the Holy Cross Monastery in West Park, NY.
