MYSTCS OF LIGHT & DARKNESS 2022

In this workshop we will study the interrelationship between the traditional Christian contemplative paths of apophatic (imageless, simple, “dazzling dark”) prayer and kataphatic (image-filled, complex,”bright”) prayer. We will reflect on these two “ways” in the writings of their principal exponents, including Gregory of Nyssa, Dionysius the Areopagite, and Gregory Palamas.
