$25 per session. Includes all materials and refreshments.

Explore the lives, writings and prayer of four amazing mystics so deeply united with God that, with Paul they could proclaim – “No longer do I live but Christ lives within me.”

During these sessions we will examine perspectives on what mysticism is and how God continues to invite Christians into deeper relationship and divine union even in the 21st Century. We will become acquainted with four mystics.

Discover these mystics from different centuries and various faiths. Join us in person or via Zoom.

This is the second session of a four-part series.
