THE REALITY OF THE UNSEEN: Looking at Mysticism & Religious Experience as a Gift of Being Human
May 4, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - May 6, 2022 @ 12:00 pm
This retreat will reveal and illumine our inner experience of God in its subtle and its dramatic forms. Being human is acknowledging our dependence on the Unseen, the Transcendent, the Creative Source–God. Made in God’s image and likeness, mystics experience this more-than-human knowing and loving that comes from their Creator. Are we all not called to be in mystical communion with God? Paying attention to God’s interventions in saintly lives can illumine our personal path of religious experience that draws us closer to God and to our true selves. The works of William James, Evelyn Underhill and Bernard McGinn will be a few sources in our exploration.
