This course will focus on Christian mystics and mysticism, with the goal of deepening your understanding of the principles and practices used by Western mystics through the ages. We will begin with an understanding of some academic frameworks for interpreting mysticism, and then you will be invited to enter directly into the heart of the Divine through the same tools and practices used by others who’ve entered into that Divine union. We will explore the writings of men and women who followed the mystical Christian path — from the Essenes, through the burgeoning era of the middle ages, and into the current day — discovering through their words the glorious, burning, ecstasy of Divine passion, and how what they’ve experienced can be relevant in your life today.(
