Silent Fire, a Zoom through the Western mystical tradition in ten sessions beginning January 9th. https://www.hartsne.org/silent-fire.html. Time is running out to register!

"In the highly symbolic and metaphorical language of the mystics, the center [of being, both within and without] is depicted as a poignant and awe-inspiring rhythm, an indelible pulsation, a majestic pathos, sometimes as cadenced as heartbeat or as spontaneous as wind, unruly as fire, and still as silence" --Walter Holden Capps and Wendy M. Wright in Silent Fire.

Paradox abounds in the writings of the mystics of the Western tradition. This is natural when talking about "center which is everywhere and the circumference which is nowhere".
​

Join us in a a five-month, online journey through the major writings and central figures of the Western mystical tradition. We will read short, concise essays of each author's life, work, and times, from the early medieval expressions through the 20th century, from Augustine of Hippo to Thomas Merton.
