Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul

Leading spiritual teacher John Philip Newell reveals how Celtic spirituality, listening to the sacred around us and inside of us, can help to heal the earth, overcome our conflicts, and reconnect with ourselves.

Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul offers a new spiritual foundation for our lives, centred on encouragement, guidance, and hope for creating a better world.

Sharing the long-hidden tradition of Celtic Christianity, it explains how this earth-based spirituality can help us rediscover the natural rhythms of life and deepen our spiritual connection with God, each other, and the earth.

Newell introduces some of Celtic Christianity’s leading practitioners, both saints and pioneers of faith, whose timeless wisdom is more necessary than ever, including:

Pelagius, who shows us how to look beyond sin to affirm our sacredness as part of all God’s creation and courageously stands up for our principles in the face of oppression.

Brigid of Kildare, who illuminates the interrelationship of all things and reminds us of the power of the sacred feminine to overcome those seeking to control us.

John Muir, who encourages us to see the holiness and beauty of wilderness and what we must do to protect these gifts.

Teilhard de Chardin, who inspires us to see how science, faith, and our future tell one universal story that begins with sacredness.
