Elizabeth Oldfield – Fully Alive: Tending the Soul in Turbulent Times


Are we being the people who are needed?

Elizabeth Oldfield will be discussing Fully Alive, a collection of personal essays exploring how these apocalyptic-feeling times are forming us, and how the ancient tradition now known as the Seven Deadly Sins might help us become the kind of people needed at the “end of the world.” 

 

About the speaker:

 

Elizabeth Oldfield is the author of Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times. She has spent her career trying to lever open space for deeper conversations – about what it means to be a human being, where we can find wisdom and how we build a society where we hate each other a little less. She has worked at BBC Radio 4, led a Westminster think tank, and is now the host of The Sacred podcast, speaking to guests like Nick Cave, Sally Philips, Rabbi Sacks, Rainn Wilson, Sathnam Sanghera and Krista Tippett about their deepest values. She lives with her family in a Christian intentional community in South London.

Fully Alive: Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times is now available wherever you get your books. Please support your local bookshop if you can. You can find out more about my coaching, consultancy and The Sacred podcast at  www.elizabetholdfield.com
