1) What is The Anchorhold?
Historically, an anchorhold was essentially an urban hermitage where some devout people sought a life of contemplation in the midst of the busyness of society. This website, “The Anchorhold,” is an online space for listening and what I call “contemplative ecology.” I’m hoping that one day soon it will also be a physical place you can visit. Keep posted!
2) What do you mean by “contemplative ecology”?
I borrow this phrase from a wonderful book, Blue Sapphire of the Mind: Notes Toward a Contemplative Ecology, by Douglas E. Christie. By it I mean, a way of being in the world that attends deeply (and often lovingly) to the world beyond the human.
