Mysticism from a Cosmic Perspective

with Diarmuid O’Murchu


Mysticism has long been regarded as an elevated state of holiness for the rare few who can transcend all earthly concerns and devote themselves exclusively to God. It is doubtful if such people ever existed, as history provides quite a different picture focussed on relating more deeply with God in and through the sacredness of creation. The creation-focus has enjoyed quite a revival in recent decades, and over four weekly sessions I will explore its central features.


Week 1: Redefining mysticism in terms of its earthly and cosmic significance


Week 2: Rediscovering the mystic in our earthly context


Week 3: How modern science and cosmology are opening us up to an enlarged sense of mysticism


Week 4: Mysticism and Eco-justice: bridging the split between the sacred and the secular

FAQs

  • How many people per class?

    While we can accomodate as many attendees as needed in our online seminars, some seminars are limited in numbers due to facilitator / speaker requests. Where numbers are larger than normal, breakout groups may be created to allow for small group discussion and exercises.

  • How do I pay?

    Links are provided to the Shopping Cart / Payment Gateways on the Course page.

  • Can I view a class on my phone?

    As we use Zoom Conferencing software, most recent Smartphones allow for Zoom Streaming to cell phones. If you would prefer to call in via non-video access, Zoom links include call in phone numbers.
