Circling to the Center: Invitation to Silent Prayer
A luminous spiritual memoir inviting the reader to the practice of silent prayer. Rooted in her Judeo-Christian tradition, the author welcomes the wisdom of other traditions and calls us to embrace our shared humanity.
In this 20th Anniversary Edition, Tiberghien writes an Afterword to update her journey, opening the confines of her own darkness and finding atonement in the natural world and in the presence of Sophia, the ‘hidden wholeness’ of creation.
Review
"In Circling to the Center, Susan Tiberghien provides a persuasive model of how in times of personal and cultural confusion, one may recover a psychospiritual locus, a center which holds amid change, ambiguity, distraction. Her book is an aperture to that inner world which, inexplicably, links us to the larger mysteries in which we also circle at all times."
-James Hollis, Jungian Analyst, Author of Living an Examined Life, Wisdom for the Second Half of the Journey
"Susan Tiberghien invites the reader onto the path of silent prayer to the bedrock of the Self, to the spheres beyond the ego. She presents a refreshing and profound approach with an irresistible resonance of authenticity. This book offers what every soul is yearning for: her own path to silence and all that lies there. A must for every seeker of the deeper Self."
-Patricia Elwood, Jungian Analyst, Author of A Jungian Approach to Spontaneous Drawing, A Window on the Soul
