Nature As Beloved, Nature As Self with Stephen K. Hatch is a podcast about Wilderness Christian Mysticism. Rooted in the wisdom found in Nature, Contemplative Christianity, and inter-spiritual perspectives, this series invites nature lovers, modern mystics, and seekers of every path to experience deeper meaning, beauty, and connection in everyday life.
In this short bonus episode, listeners are guided through a practice of Wilderness Contemplative Prayer. This guided prayer and meditation invites you to step into a quiet, sacred space—a space where you can breathe, be still, and gently return to yourself and the Presence that holds all things. Whether you’re beginning your day, in the midst of a busy season, or simply need a pause, let this be your gentle return to your center.
Practice Suggestions:
- Find a quiet space and comfortable posture.
- Begin by taking a few deep breaths before pressing play
- Let your thoughts come and go without judgment.
- Use this meditation as a morning ritual, midday pause, or evening reflection
- If something rises in you—emotion, clarity, resistance—greet it kindly and without judgement.
