Mystical Experiences for Those of Us Living Ordinary Lives

Event Navigation
A mystic is often regarded as a person who is special and different than the rest of us – someone who has an extraordinary capacity to experience God or the Divine. Centuries ago they lived in monasteries as monks or nuns or they lived alone in remote locations, in either case not taking part in usual day to day life.
More recently though there has been a recognition that there are “everyday mystics,” and further, some famous religious figures have asserted that every one of us is meant to be a mystic. Carmelite friar William McNamara wrote, “the mystic is not a special kind of person; each person is a special kind of mystic.”
You are invited to join a gathering to share your experience of God. Maybe you don’t think of yourself as a mystic, but perhaps you remember some of those *unforgettable* times that you experienced something deep in your core that felt sacred or holy. Would you be willing to share these religious and/or spiritual awakenings? And to listen as others share?
Our group will have a time for sitting meditation, a reading, and sharing.
Please let Linda Vincent or Deb Moore know if you are interested.
