It’s not a stretch to say Dave Denny is what Thomas Merton would have looked like today, had he lived.

Both avid writers, teachers, interspiritual pioneers, activists, and hermits–they share a depth of wisdom that is borne of silence.

Join Father Dave Denny and I to learn:

 🔹 How living in the Middle East changed his life forever

 🔸 What steaming hot tamales can teach us about the sacramentality of the world

 🔹 What, in his 13 years of teaching mysticism, his students were most surprised by

 🔸 What it might look like to be a contemplative activist

Dave Denny describes himself as “poet, priest, and desert rat.” Setting out to be a journalist, Dave’s life took a turn when he became a Carmelite monk at the Spiritual Life Institute for 30 years. Since then he has dedicated himself to writing, interspiritual dialogue, and teaching, while living the life of a hermit.

Dave is the co-founder of the Desert Foundation, which invites people of all walks to explore the intimate depths of their own heart. Find out more about the Desert Foundation’s retreats and contemplative workshops at sandandsky.org.
