Tessa Bielecki—The Earthy Mysticism of Teresa of Avila




The Soul-Directed Life show

Summary: Sixth Container of Love: Mystics Tessa Bielecki was a Carmelite monk and abbess. She now lives in a hermitage in Crestone, Colorado. She and Father Dave Denny cofounded The Desert Foundation, a circle of friends who share a passion for the desert, the Abrahamic faiths, and the spiritualities of the American Southwest. Tessa joins us from her cell (on a cell phone, of course) to bring us into communion with the brilliant, beautiful, sensuous mystic, St. Teresa of Avila, captured in her freshly revised, Holy Daring: The Earthly Mysticism of St. Teresa, the Wild Woman of Avila.
