Putting the mind in the heart

Through a 5-week course we explore the distinctive features of Christian Non-Dualism as we look at Jesus as a teacher of Wisdom. We look at what happened to this stream within the Christian West as well as its recovery in the 1980s, in part through the teaching of Thomas Keating and the practice of Centering Prayer. We also look at some of the new directions it is going, including through the teaching of Cynthia Bourgeault. We explore the anthropology of this tradition - its understanding of what it is to be human - and how it differs from other Western theologies and ideologies. Through the five weeks of this introductory course we define some cool Wisdom terms (such as “kenosis” and “cosmogony”) and look at its overall relevance at a time of profound unravelling. In each session there will be input, practice and sharing, as well as cake.

The pathways teaching happens on Tuesdays from 6.30pm-7.30pm
