Christine Valters Paintner is a writer, contemplative, and the online Abbess of Abbey of the Arts. Â In her latest book, Eyes of the Heart, she challenges us to ‘receive images’ instead of ‘take pictures.’
In this episode of A Congruent Life, Christine shares profoundly about ‘following the thread,’ pilgrimage, and vulnerability.
