The Art of Letting Go

Living the Wisdom of Saint Francis

Course objectives:

Discuss the life of St. Francis of Assisi.
• Identify the difference between the true self and the false self.
• Explain the non-dual aspects of Jesus's teaching.
• Practice contemplative prayer.
We often think of saints as rare individuals whose gifts far exceed our own, and the beloved St. Francis is no exception. But for Fr. Richard Rohr, a prolific author and renowned speaker, the life and teachings of this beloved figure offer an authentic spirituality we can all embody.

On The Art of Letting Go, Fr. Rohr gives us a six-session learning course that explores: the surprising richness we discover through simplifying our lives (without taking a vow of poverty); liberation from our self-limiting biases and certitudes; contemplation and action, two key steps toward communing more deeply with the Divine; and more.

Very deep and insightful.

I prefer him to read/speak his own work, but this audio seemed a bit off

exactly what it says

smooth Direct and to the point. all you have to do is look at yourself honestly

A Higher and Deeper Level of Living

The way Richard speaks is in a conversational style. I would listen during a morning walk and feel better about life and my direction. Letting Go of many things holding me down and his instruction is very much worth the listen and contemplation, whether one fully agrees with duality and specific teachings. It will help further your own beliefs and commitments to God and self.

Exactly what I need to hear! Can't say enough about this man and his message!

I have had many questions about what I've been taught and have never been able to make sense of many things that I read in the Bible and have been taught in church. Fr Richard has answered those. It feels so good to know what I believe and why. An amazing gift!

Don't give up...keep listening.

The ideas feel so deep at times, yet the reward is worth the strain of trying to understand. A very delightful listen.
