Event
Matthew Fox "Mystics in Ourselves and Others" Lecture & Book Signing
Spend an evening with this acclaimed speaker as we delve deep into Meister Eckhart, Hildegard of Bingen, and Thomas Merton as well as engage in practices to bring forth our own mystic and prophet. Along the way, you will explore the intersections of social and eco-justice and the divine feminine, contemplation and letting go, cosmic awareness, the historical Jesus, and the Cosmic Christ. The visionary work of Meister Eckhart has had a profound influence on major voices of the 20th Century, and his creation-centered cosmology overlaps profoundly with the writings of Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hahn and Dr. D. J. Suzuki who so influenced Thomas Merton. We will explore Hildegard's deep teachings about the Divine Feminine but also about standing up to church corruption and patriarchal excess wherever it is found. She was brave and outspoken in her day and challenges us to match her courage and depth in our own.
