There are many ways through which we human beings can achieve a state of ecstasy, that is, transcend ourselves and touch the divine. Matthew Fox beautifully describes some of such natural ecstasies in his book WHEE! We, wee All The Way Home. A Guide to Sensual, Prophetic Spirituality, a book which (...

I have always been interested in exploring the beginnings of Matthew Fox’s theological career, as I am convinced that the way one lays out one’s perspective on life and being is key to understanding everything that happens later.  However, in this exploration of mine, I have overlooked until no...

We are taught to “read the signs of our times.” One sign of our times is that many, many human voices from popes to everyday citizens are calling humanity to its capacities for peace. At the same time, exploding budgets built by scurrilous politicians are bloated with more and more weaponry—as...

Why did I end my last DM calling Otto Rank a “spiritual giant” of the 20th century? One reason is this. During my training as a Dominican, around 1965, I told my Dominican superiors that “my generation will be more interested in spirituality than in religion.” When it came time to choose a t...

With one year ending and another dawning, it is customary to reflect on the outgoing year. One sees articles, for example, on “the best movies of 2025 nobody knows of.” In today’s and Monday’s DM, I would like to meditate on what I consider one of the most important spiritual books of 2025 t...

This year, 2026, is opening with some very concerning news regarding Israel/Palestine. As spiritual people, we are called to keep our eyes open, be informed, and devise all possible actions to alleviate the suffering of the population of Gaza and the West Bank, even though we are exhausted to hear a...

It is natural to aspire to peace, and even more so to wish peace to the world at the threshold of a new year. Moreover, the angelic singing “Glory to God, Peace on Earth” has not yet ceased to resonate at least in the minds of liturgically-minded Christians, who celebrate today the “Octave of ...

One of the wonderful archetypes of Christmas is that of “Prince of Peace.” All over the world, in many cultures, one can find the story of a wondrous male child born in difficult or miraculous circumstances, belonging to a royal household or on his way to found one, who must live for a time in [...

Looking toward a New Year is often a time for evaluating the year we have just undergone. From the point of view of a new presidency, things have not been pretty. Not at all. Headlines I have seen just in the last 24 hours include the following: “Trump says broadcast licenses should be terminated....

Thinking of you all as the new year approaches. Please consider joining Rev. Dr. Matthew Fox and the international Order of the Sacred Earth community today, Tuesday, December 30th at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern for an hour-long council meeting. Council is a tool for sharing authentically within a group that creates order while also making space for what is emerging to arise and guide us.

Each time we've met to practice council over the past 8 years, we've enjoyed connecting with this incredible community as it ebbs and flows. Being present with one another within the sacredness of life is a powerful experience -even on Zoom!

Mark your calendars as we meet on the last Tuesday of each month. Zoom information below in the comments!

Often, we feel grief about the destruction of our Earth while simultaneously feeling expansiveness and new transformative possibilities emerging. Sometimes there's a buzz around the incredible work that so many are doing to make our world more resonant with Earth while inspiring each of us to live our own unique Earth-centered purpose.

One thing that remains consistent is that we leave these meetings feeling nourished and supported in a variety of ways by a diversity of people from around the planet who care deeply.

We're calling each other into the presence of a new dynamic moment with unknown potentials for how to lean into the vulnerability of connection, our longings, our fulfillments and how we are called to participate in creating the world we know is possible now.

What we are being asked to do as a species seems almost beyond imagining.

The challenges we face seem impossible even to the most optimistic humans. The end seems imminent. And yet, we know that this has always been true in moments of unraveling when a seismic transformation is taking place within the Universe.

We've seen that the way out of depression and despair is through gratitude, love, support, conscious grieving, and aligned action. In connecting with others who are engaged in the creative act of seeing and becoming a consciously united Earth community we can motivate ourselves to give and receive fluidly in service of life.

We are coming to identify with new ways of being with a new understanding of who we are and what we are here to do. As we lean into this process together, new possibilities become accessible to participate in our own transformation.

Consider the challenge of bringing life into existence! The Over billions of years, Earth has held space for rocks and then bacteria to evolve into whales, humming birds, and humans! The challenge before us now is equally gargantuan and yet all of the elements needed for this creative task of bringing humanity together in service of life are here now...calling us to rise to a new level of consciousness, to become a new species within the Universe’s and the Earth’s mind. Can you feel it? Either way, join us to enter into a creative process that can only happen within community!

This will be a time to connect in community around the theme of building and expanding a culture who honours the sacredness of Earth's life-creating processes. Our intention is to create a container for connection and networking with others who are putting forth the intention and effort needed to make a difference within these crucial and challenging times. We have also enjoyed providing a space for new people to join us to learn more about this movement and to share how they are being called to participate in the Great Turning of humanity.

In the past, we've had between 12-65 people join us from all over the world so the format changes from month to month. There will be time to briefly share what you're up to, what is present in your heart, or anything else that feels relevant to you and this movement. More than anything, this is a place to listen to one another and to reflect upon the creativity and love that is present within our extended network.

In remembering the many dimensions of the Christmas stories as we have been doing in our recent DMs, I have praised the artist M.C. Richards and other artists. On Christmas morning, I attended Mass in my local Episcopal church and was blessed to hear a very solid sermon on the reading of John 1 whic...

Christmas has multiple dimensions to it. Its stories in Luke’s Gospel, Matthew’s Gospel, and John’s Gospel are varied and absolutely loaded with archetypes that are nothing short of delicious. Roman Catholic biblical scholar Raymond Brown used to stress how one finds in the Nativity stories hi...
