Poustinia

Catherine Doherty's 'Poustinia' invites readers to embrace the concept of a 'poustinia,' a desert experience or a solitary retreat within one's own life.

Drawing from the Russian tradition, the book explores the idea of creating inner silence and solitude to encounter God. It emphasizes the importance of prayer, fasting, and detachment from worldly distractions.

Doherty shares practical guidance on how to integrate the poustinia experience into daily life, even amidst busy schedules.

The book encourages readers to seek spiritual renewal through simplicity, contemplation, and a deeper connection with God in the hidden corners of their hearts.
