One of our members Agnes Hermans is offering this Contemplative Programme March – November 2021
Walking the Mystical Path is an ‘at home’ programme for those wishing to integrate a contemplative dimension into their lives.
Agnes writes: Fortunately now is one of the best times to be alive because we are in a century into a growing community of contemporary mystics who have the dual gifts of being both contemplatives and grand story tellers of their experiences. While the stories they tell stem from many centuries ago, they are imbued with not only a contemplative understanding of the deeper wisdom teachings, but are positively influenced by the developing understanding of psychology and neurophysiology.
The WTMP programme offers resource material for: reading, reflection, spiritual practices, action and includes individual spiritual companioning as well as group reflection sessions by zoom or skype.
During the programme we look at five strands of the contemplative path:
- theology
- prayer/meditation
- compassion
- co-creation
- social justice
These aspects will be looked at through teachings and practices of contemporary mystics such as Merton, Newell, Bourgeault, Baxter, Rohr, Fox, Doherty, Finley, Aubert, Cowley to name a few. This is an experiential programme to support your own knowing of the contemplative Spirit.
Cost: $340 for materials and companioning sessions
