In A Trellis for the Soul, psychotherapist and retreats director Martina Lehane Sheehan provides a framework for anyone struggling to navigate the dizzying maze of twenty-first-century life. Drawing on the wisdom of the Christian mystical tradition, as well as from her own experiences hosting workshops across the country, the author invites the reader on a profound journey of spiritual development as we face the challenges and embrace the opportunities of a post-Covid-19 world. As an antidote to the relentless noise of consumerism and commercialism, A Trellis for the Soul explores real ways of cultivating a meaningful spiritual life where reflection, quietude and silence can combat anxiety, stress and an always-switched-on mindset. With chapters on 'stillness', 'community', 'well-being', 'the natural world' and 'holistic spirituality', the purpose of this book is to retrieve what is lost in our spiritual lives and encourage whatever is 'real, truthful and life-giving to grow and flourish again from the roots'. Divided into two parts, A Trellis for the Soul begins by honing in on the modern malaise and explores how, by refocusing attention on our authentic selves, we can become more creative, spontaneous and attuned to the natural environment with which we are inextricably linked. In part two, readers are invited to adopt exercises and practices that will invigorate and renew, encouraging us to see the beauty in the everyday and to nurture our true selves.
