John O'Donohue Audio & Video

John O'Donohue was a one-of-a-kind force of nature: a genius with words, a brilliant thinker, and a professional excavator of the soul. In the course of his extraordinary life, this Irish poet and teacher touched the hearts of millions with his unique blend of philosophy, instruction, and spiritual insight.

"When we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives," observes Irish poet and philosopher John O'Donohue, "we have no rituals to protect, encourage, and guide us as we cross over into the unknown. For such crossings, we need to find new words."

A special twenty-fifth anniversary audio edition of Celtic spirituality and mysticism by beloved poet and philosopher John O'Donohue includes a new introduction by the President of Ireland, Michael D.

On Eternal Echoes, Catholic scholar John O'Donohue speaks to the "crisis of belonging" in our midst...

The human soul is hungry for beauty; we seek it everywhere in landscape, music, art, clothes, furniture, gardening, companionship, love, religion, and in ourselves.

When God is hardened into a visible image and worship reduced to a program, we remain exiled from what is truly sacred—the world around us and the “divine imagination” that created it.

For the Celtic people of ancient Ireland, the natural world was a continuous prayer. Each mountain held a soul; each river, a heart. This "eucharist of nature" was living evidence of a divine worldview…

From the mountains of Connemara to friendly pub conversations, John O'Donohue had the ability to make the most numinous questions personal.

No conversation we've ever done has been more beloved than this one. This Irish poet, theologian, and philosopher insisted on beauty as a human calling.

Our bodies are mere outlines of a vast and complex interior world, a landscape of contradiction and immense mystery.
