The women mystics give voice to the sacred feminine pathways to union with the Holy One. They invite us to reclaim our desires and longings, to trust in our experiences of God, and to unite contemplation and action. During our exploration, we will listen to the teachings of the 13th century mystic, Mechtild of Magdeburg, who invites us into the path of reciprocal love. We will reflect on passages from her masterpiece, "The Flowing Light of the Godhead," spend time learning about her life as a Beguine, and engage in contemplative journal writing and sharing.
Come and be inspired by this bold and passionate lover of God.
