Join us this autumn for some intentional time to celebrate the diverse heritage of the mystics. This lunch and dialogue program is an invitation for a delicious meal and engaging conversation just before the holiday season begins its unfolding. During our time together, we will briefly explore the personal biographies of certain mystics alongside their incredible contributions to contemporary spirituality, especially around encountering the Divine in everyday life.
Moreover, we will specifically consider their legacy on spiritually navigating the seasons of life with the practice of gratitude and how being grateful can serve as an entry point into mysticism and its transformative, empowering grace. While engaging with a broad range of these figures across the arc of Christianity, a significant portion of the program will unfold around the wisdom of Julian of Norwich, Henri Nouwen, and Br. David Steindl-Rast. As we ground our encounter of these cherished mystics and their teachings within our personal experiences, we will participate in creative exercises and contemplations to access our unique voice and deepen our respective journeys.
Additional time for reflection through prayer, meditation, and group dialogue will also be integrated. Prior familiarity with mystics or mysticism is not mandatory but welcomed. Please bring along an open heart and mind and a journal for use throughout the program. Lunch is included. Guided by Gordon Creamer.
