COMING SOON: Turning to the Mystics and The Cloud of Unknowing

“When we reach the end of what we know, that’s where we find God.”

— The Cloud of Unknowing

James Finley is back for a new season of the acclaimed podcast Turning to the Mystics! Season 5 explores the anonymously written Cloud of Unknowing by unpacking four of its most illuminating passages. Experience the fathomless mystery of God through reading, reflection, and guided meditation with Jim and a global community of spiritual seekers.

Turning to the Mystics is a podcast for people searching for something more meaningful, intimate, and richly present in the divine gift of their lives. James Finley, clinical psychologist and Living School faculty, offers a modern take on the contemplative practices of Christian mystics like Thomas Merton, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and Guigo II. Leaning into their experiences can become a gateway to hope, healing, and oneness.

Season 5 of Turning to the Mystics will begin in early March.

Discover Your Place in the Great Storyline

Meeting Jesus again at 40 unveiled the tapestry of my story—redemptive suffering, salvation, unconditional love, eternal perspective—and gave it purpose and a new beginning.

— Beth M., CAC Community Member

What happens when the stories of our early lives no longer resonate with what we’re experiencing now?
