Contemplative Affirmations: a guided meditation with Skye McColman
from our October 18th, 2026 Hybrid Sunday Service
About the Facilitator
Skye (Carl) McColman is a spiritual director, author, retreat leader, and speaker on mystical spirituality and contemplative living. His books include Read the Bible Like a Mystic, The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism, Eternal Heart, and Unteachable Lessons. He is one of the co-hosts of the Encountering Silence and Radical Mystics podcasts, and writes the Anamchara newsletter on Substack. Skye’s approach to the mystical path is joyful, inclusive and expansive; with a dedication to exploring the common ground between faith traditions, with a particular interest in the connecting points between Christian, Buddhist and Pagan wisdom. Skye lives with his wife, artist Fran McColman, in Atlanta.
This was Skye’s third visit to the Metaphysical Chapel of Life! In the past he was known by his given name of Carl. Since his last visit, he received guidance to begin using a new name, Skye, reflecting Buddhist and Celtic Wisdom as well as the beauty of nonbinary gender.
