From a precious oral tradition rooted over 2,500 years in Ireland’s past, John O’Donohue’s Celtic Wisdom Trilogy brings to listeners today this vibrant spiritual legacy, unique in the Western world. A liberating feast of authentic blessings, insights, and teachings, brought to life by this acclaimed poet, teacher, and Catholic scholar. The Celtic Wisdom Trilogy includes three full-length sessions:

The Inner Landscape - Our bodies are mere outlines of a vast and complex interior world, a landscape of contradiction and mystery. The Inner Landscape explores the themes of self-exile and hardship, and the Celtic way of welcoming paradox and finding precious light in the darkest valleys of our inner terrain. - 3 CDs / 3 hours

The Divine Imagination - Too often we remain distanced from what is truly sacred—the world around us and the “divine imagination” that created it. Here John O’Donohue immerses us in the “greatest miracle” of Celtic spirituality—its tradition of experiencing the divine as a lyrical, tender, creative force not visible, but always present in all things. - 3 CDs / 3 hours

The Invisible World - The ancient Celts sensed an “invisible world” around them—the great unknown from which they came and the source of eternal wonder in their lives. Through prayer, O’Donohue teaches, we may enter directly into this secret immensity and escape the psychological prisons we create for ourselves. With prayers, blessings, poetry, and teachings. - 3 CDs / 3 hours
