SUMMARY:PRACTICAL MYSTICISM
DESCRIPTION:The Wisdom of the Christian Mystics for Today\nCarl McColman\nFriday, October 25 – 7:00 – 9:00 pm\nSaturday, October 26, 2024  9:30 am – 4:00 pm\nThe 20th century theologian Karl Rahner famously said, “The Christian of the future will be a mystic or will not exist.” But what could he have meant by this? What is mysticism, and what does it have to do with ordinary people leading ordinary lives? This retreat is for anyone who wants a deeper spirituality, and who suspects that the great mystics, visionaries, and contemplatives of the Christian tradition have something to share with us. Drawing on the wisdom of great mystics like Julian of Norwich, St. Teresa of Ávila and Evelyn Underhill, we’ll bring mysticism down to earth and consider how the contemplative life is for everyone — not just saints or nuns and monks. We’ll reflect on what mysticism is, why it matters, and how we can draw on the wisdom of the mystics to find a deeper and more meaningful spiritual life, right here and right now. Friday Evening: Wisdom of the Christian Mystics: An overview of some of the key teachings of the great mystics and contemplatives of history, and how those teachings can inspire our faith journeys today. Saturday: Practical Christian Mysticism: A more practical/experiential retreat day, where we’ll consider some of the mystics’ teachings on prayer, meditation and contemplation: with plenty of time for personal prayer and group reflection. Carl McColman is a contemplative writer, spiritual director and retreat leader based in Atlanta. His books include The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Eternal Heart: the Mystical Path to a Joyful Life.\nThis program will be available in-person and online. Pre-registration is required to receive the link.\nSuggested Donation: $55. Limited overnight accommodations available for Friday night: $45\n \n
