Description
"The eye with which I see God is the same with which God sees me. My eye and God's eye is one eye, and one sight, and one knowledge, and one love." -Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart, the 14th century German Dominican priest, has had a profound influence on the mystical Christian tradition. Join us in this class as we investigate and engage with his visionary path of developing mystical awareness in the midst of the busyness of everyday life. Explore what many consider to be Eckhart’s ultimate goal: to show us how to live fully and joyfully without a why. This paradox of a practical approach to mysticism will be engaged via a combination of lecture, meditation, contemplation (such as lectio divina on some of Meister Eckhart's sermons), and small group discussion. Ed Ewbank will facilitate this class, and Troy Bronsink and Adam Clark will add their personal perspectives to the conversation on the second and third nights, respectively.
Intention of the Hive
When you join a Hive experience, you're invited into our intention to create a group experience that's inclusive, rooted in mindfulness, and dynamically relational. We aspire for each Hive experience to model these intentions, and even to refine them as we continue to learn how to gather in a way that's transformative! The embodiment of these intentions by Hive facilitators, Members, and class participants is what makes the Hive the unique and healing social container that many experience it to be.
