S7:11 EP103: Finding Our Rhythm in the Liturgical Year with Kristin Haakenson

When you first encounter the liturgical year, it can be completely overwhelming. There is a saint's feast day every day! What season are we in again? Is it Eastertide? Ordinary Time? Who can keep track?
Here to help us make sense of all this - and inspire us to live a rooted, embodied, seasonal, in-tune, life - is Kristin Haakenson, the writer and artist behind the sacred-seasonal liturgical living missive Hearthstone Fables. Kristin is a beautiful writer, rooted in story and history, and she beautifully weaves the rhythms of the agrarian year with the rhythms of the Church. She makes connections we may never have thought of (stay tuned for the discussion on the nativities of Christ and St. John the Baptist!) and brings a genuine joy to the liturgical year that makes the discovery of feast days and ancient traditions seem not overwhelming, but exciting, - delightful! A treasure trove to be explored.
On the podcast, Kristin discusses how to feel rooted, both in place and in faith, in a modern age opposed to both. Also discussions on how to find community, make the liturgical year a living reality, and how to celebrate with presence and tradition no matter whether you’re in an urban or agricultural setting.
An inspiring and convicting conversation to ground us in story, celebration, tradition, and art.
