Exploring the Mystic Path
Led by Elizabeth Courtney, MA
Multi-media session in the Peg Lowe room in the Hall,
March 16 - 7:00 pm
This course sets out to evoke and examine the lives, cultural contexts, mystical
experience and influence of a number of Mystics from the mediaeval period to the
present day. From Hildegard von Bingen, Julian of Norwich and Theresa d’Avila to
Cynthia Bourgeault and Richard Rohr the integration of vision and praxis is considered
with its relevance to honoring and developing our own spiritual autonomy.
