Spiritual Homesteading

finding a home in Christ Jesus that nurtures all life

Spiritual homesteading is the life-giving, bountiful, exhilarating and yes often mundane and grueling experience of Christian contemplative living, as experienced primarily by our family over the past fifty plus years. We would describe this journey as one of being called by the incredible love of the Divine into the depths of our being. Here we share in a dialogue with the Spirit of God, a dynamic interchange of energy which is beyond words. In this we are offered the possibility of a transformation of our interior knowing, which leads to a transformation of consciousness. In this dynamic dance, we are offered the Truth about ourselves and about all of creation. This Truth is both personal and universal and incarnates within us, changing the way we physically encounter the world. Throughout this fifty-year journey, one experience is ultimate for each member of our family. That is the experience of a transformation of consciousness that hinges on the manner in which Christ Jesus has led us and is still leading us out of the heavy web of lies that infuses our lives and into an ever-growing interior clarity that might well be described as a spiritual experience of living water. It is out of this life-giving clarity of being that we nurture the world around us.
