Hospitality – Christine Valters Paintner

“When we choose to receive guests as a window into the sacred presence, we choose to live and relate from a more intentional and reverential place. When we engage in a dynamic encounter with what we are fearful of, it relinquishes its power on us, and new wisdom and energy are released. It is in this place of hospitality to the unknown where we encounter God.”

— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, The Wisdom of the Body: A Contemplative Journey to Wholeness for Women

How do you practice hospitality to the unknown? Do you give welcome to the rise and fall of your own emotions? How do you engage with people from other backgrounds?
