MIRABAI
STARR
A professor of Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos for twenty years, Mirabai now travels the world sharing her wisdom on contemplative living, writing as a spiritual practice, and the transformational power of grief and loss. She has authored over a dozen books, including Wild Mercy, Caravan of No Despair, and God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Starr has received critical acclaim for her revolutionary contemporary translations of the mystics John of the Cross, Teresa of Ávila, and Julian of Norwich. In 2020, she was honored on Watkins’ list of the “100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.”
“Ordinary Mysticism is the ripened fruit of a lifetime of study, practice and teaching across and beyond the world’s great wisdom traditions,” observes Starr. “My prayer for you is that you will fearlessly look upon your life a holy and whole. That you will find meaning and wonder bubbling up from the ground of your most ordinary moments.”
