“Spiritual but not religious” is the fastest growing response to questions of faith identification. In every culture, artifacts such as music, art, literature, or cinema, embody the Zeitgeist of that culture. For a number of years, Wendi has been developing contemplative spiritual practices with cultural artifacts and has now included literature and the Hero's Journey as a story model that echoes labyrinth walking and spiritual awakening.

In fulfillment of her Doctor of Ministry degree, Wendi Bernau created a graphic novel of the Book of Judith (purchase your copy) researched the intersection of psychological search for self and spiritual journey metaphors, applied Joseph Campbell's hero's journey to Judith and created a journey reflection practice for the Anam Cara missional spiritual direction program. In this 45 minute live webinar, you will have the opportunity to hear Wendi's story, learn about using literature as a spiritual practice, identify journey elements in the Book of Judith, and reflect on your own life journey through contemplative prayer. Q&A to follow.
