Journeying with the Mystics
TUESDAY EVENINGS THIS SPRING
An Exploration of Mysticism & Mystics
Join us as a new Zoom course begins on Tuesday, April 8 at 7 pm, meeting for six sessions every other Tuesday until June 17. Each session includes a 7-minute presentation of 2 mystics, followed by questions and discussion. The course's purpose is not to make you an expert on mystics, but to utilize mystics to enhance each participant’s capacity for their own mysticism, and to awaken wonder and enchantment in daily life. Each session will begin at 7:00 pm and conclude by 8:15 EDT.
Mystics presented this spring include Edith Stein, St. Ignatius, Harriet Tubman, Evelyn Underhill, Tagore and Rabia Basra, St. Augustine from his Confessions, Carl Jung, Etty Hillesum from her Diaries, the Dutch Mystic John Ruusbroec, Desmond Tutu, and Dag Hammarskjöld from Markings. Participants can suggest mystics and even, if desired, offer a presentation.
Course leadership is shared by Cliff Cutler, Episcopal priest, and Sherri Retif, spiritual director. PLEASE NOTE: While there are no fees, registration is required. For more information or to register contact: journeywithmystics@gmail.com.
