It’s not a stretch to say Dave Denny is what Thomas Merton would have looked like today, had he lived.
Both avid writers, teachers, interspiritual pioneers, activists, and hermits–they share a depth of wisdom that is borne of silence.
Join Father Dave Denny and I to learn: 🔹 How living in the Middle East changed his life forever 🔸 What steaming hot tamales can teach us about the sacramentality of the world 🔹 What, in his 13 years of teaching mysticism, his students were most surprised by 🔸 What it might look like to be a contemplative activist
Dave Denny describes himself as “poet, priest, and desert rat.” Setting out to be a journalist, Dave’s life took a turn when he became a Carmelite monk at the Spiritual Life Institute for 30 years. Since then he has dedicated himself to writing, interspiritual dialogue, and teaching, while living the life of a hermit.
Dave is the co-founder of the Desert Foundation, which invites people of all walks to explore the intimate depths of their own heart. Find out more about the Desert Foundation’s retreats and contemplative workshops at sandandsky.org.

Have you ever been struck by someone’s depth of presence? Like when you meet a wise, holy person. The depth of their presence overwhelms us, floods our body with their peace. Have you ever wondered what's going on on a biological level when this happens? Or, wondered why it's so much easier to feel grounded when we meditate with others vs. on our own? Or maybe been curious about how life's traumas impact the contemplative life? Get ready, everyone - this is one of my FAVORITE intersections. 🤩🤩 Neuroscience and the contemplative life. Embodiment and spirituality. The mystical and the muscles, minerals, and membranes. In today’s episode I speak with Dr. Bonnie Badenoch, who specializes in precisely this intersection. Bonnie is an interpersonal neurobiologist *and* a contemplative! She has spent decades researching how that connection, and most importantly, presence, impacts our bodies. You might think of her as the Brene Brown of presence-- combining lots of heart with accessible research.
Welcome to season 4 of the Spiritual Wanderlust podcast! I can’t think of a better way to start the season than a conversation with contemplative teacher, Carl McColman. Carl has been in the Spiritual Wanderlust vibe for decades: he’s a writer, retreat leader, podcaster and spiritual director. While Christian himself, he also finds himself drawn to all those juicy intersections between Buddhism, Pagan traditions, and Christianity. Join us for our conversation to learn: 🔹 The 2 key figures that made Carl a contemplative 🔸 The one piece of advice from a Trappist monk that changed his life 🔹 His two realizations that led him to rewrite the Big Book of Christian Mysticism 🔸 Why paradox is important for the mystic 🔹 The gifts of the dharma - and how you can decide if interspirituality is right for you 🔸 Why monasticism is key to Celtic spirituality 🔹 Carl’s coming out story and God’s pronouns
