Metanoia, from Greek words meaning beyond and mind, is the turning the Gospels call for at the start of Jesus’ preaching: repent, for the kingdom is at hand. More than regret, it is a transformation of one’s way of seeing and living. The contemplative traditions treat it as the beginning of the path, and it gives its name to this journal.
