January 7, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Please join us for this interactive online forum hosted by Jonathan F.P. Rose, Co-founder of the Garrison Institute, in conversation with the Reverend Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault.
This event promises to peel back the layers of one of the most innovative contemplative thinkers of our time. In “Thomas Keating: The Making of a Modern Christian Mythic,” Cynthia Bourgeault offers an intimate and groundbreaking portrait of a spiritual master who transcended traditional boundaries and reimagined the contemplative landscape.
This is not just a book talk—it’s an invitation to journey through the extraordinary spiritual metamorphosis of Thomas Keating, a Trappist monk who transformed from a traditional religious figure into a revolutionary mystic who bridged worlds, traditions, and states of consciousness.
Discover:
- How a Trappist monk became a global bridge between Christian contemplation and interspirituality
- The radical evolution of Keating’s teachings on self, consciousness, and spiritual transformation
- Insights into the cutting-edge spiritual practices that can liberate modern seekers from limitation
Bourgeault will illuminate Keating’s remarkable passage from institutional spirituality to a profound, borderless understanding of divine connection—revealing how his final decades represented not a departure from Christianity, but its most expansive, radical realization.
Perfect for:
- Spiritual seekers
- Contemplative practitioners
- Those interested in mysticism and personal transformation
