Zoom: Modern Mystics Book Group

January 17 - March 21, 2023

Modern Mystics is a contemplative book group in which we read and discuss books by both modern and classical mystics. If you enjoy learning from and reading works by mystics such as Richard Rohr, Thomas Keating, Thomas Merton, Ilia Delio, Thich Nhat Hanh, Teilhard de Chardin, Eckhart, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, Caussade, The Cloud of Unknowing, Rumi, Rilke, etc., this might be the group for you. Our program this Winter you will be via Zoom.

This quarter we will be reading Thomas Keating’s Open Heart Open Mind: A Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel. Open Mind, Open Heart is designed to initiate the readers into a deep, living relationship with God. Father Keating teaches through an overview of the Christian contemplative tradition and a process for interior transformation, how a conversation initiated by God leads, if we consent, to divine union. Herein a restructuring of consciousness takes place which empowers one to perceive, relate and respond to everyday life with increasing sensitivity to the divine presence in, through, and beyond everything that happens.
