Carl McColman is an award-winning author, blogger, podcaster, spiritual director, retreat leader, and contemplative speaker/teacher based in Clarkston, GA. His books cover a wide terrain, from Christian mysticism to Celtic wisdom to Pagan & Goddess spirituality. Although rooted in the Christian tradition, Carl has a long-standing commitment to interspirituality and interfaith exploration. His own spiritual journey began with an extraordinary awakening experience when he was 16, followed by training and formation in the practice of Centering Prayer and Christian meditation through organizations like the Shalem Institute, Contemplative Outreach, and the Institute for Pastoral Studies. In 2012 Carl made life-promises as a Lay Cistercian (a layperson under the spiritual guidance of Trappist monks). Carl is the Contemplative-in-Residence with Zeitgeist, an Atlanta-based community that supports spiritual seekers and spiritual directors of all faith traditions (including those who are spiritually independent).
