Description
Anthony de Mello (1931 – 1987) was an Indian-born Jesuit priest, spiritual director, and psychotherapist. He was renowned worldwide for his workshops, retreats, and prayer courses rooted in the Christian Gospels, the mystical traditions of East and West and unitive consciousness. An early pioneer of the inter-spirituality movement, he demonstrated how different religious traditions have similar spiritual practices. His own "sadhana" was drawn from Ignatian spirituality, yoga, Buddhist insight meditation, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insights.
Perhaps the most popular of de Mello's many books are his collections of story meditations and "one minute wisdom." Other books present the key themes of his workshops, including the importance of awareness both of one's own behavior and God's loving presence, the need to wake up and come back to your senses, the problems caused by fear and attachment, the way to change yourself and become happy, and the value of silence, meditation, and a variety of other prayer practices.
We invite you to join us in “Waking Up”, an exploration of the teachings of Anthony de Mello and related thinkers. We'll reflect on his teachings, recognize ourselves in his stories, and try his practices.
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.
