Everyday sacred renaissance: Exploring the potencies of being spiritually literate

March 16, 2024

Mary Ann Brussat has co-architected SpiritualityandPractice.com (S&P) and an Alphabet for spiritual literacy that excavate and curate cultural and spiritual resources across faith, culture, and ethnic lines, offering insightful companions for those on spiritual journeys. She is an ordained inter-faith Minister and a Christian-Sufi initiate. From the Mid-western prairies to a bustling Pakistani city, and back, she learned as a teenager how to see the sacred in the everyday 'little' things, and in every culture and context. She remains actively attuned to the idea that "in our era of extreme polarization, we need to find points of connection among groups." Blending the spiritual with secular, her life and work propel a subtler form of re-cognition -- to relate anew with the materials of our day-to-day lives. She believes eternal, universal truths are not localized to holy places, extraordinary acts, or a special day in the week. Instead, they are embedded in our contemporary lives -- in signs, symbols, poems, music, films, rituals, places, daily chores, and relationships.
