Contemplative Activism in Challenging Times: A Teaching With Cynthia Bourgeault
This online live teaching time with Cynthia embraces the sacred calling to be “Contemplatives with grit!”
As our world and planetary systems reel in the grip of what many sense to be a thickening pandemic of evil, the Wisdom perspective is urgently needed. We believe that only from this broader cosmic and integrative perspective can sufficient leverage be found to work effectively with the escalating disintegration—political, cultural, ecological, spiritual—so apparent in our own times.
Contemplatives of all spiritual pathways are invited to join together for this online teaching. Cynthia will draw from spiritual and psychological sources to show us how to strengthen our inner resources and deepen our commitment. In particular, she will revisit the concept of ‘holy obedience’ found in the teaching of Quaker mystic Thomas Kelly, who nearly 100 years ago stepped up out of his Quaker conscience to speak truth to power.
We invite you to attend this gathering together with others in your contemplative community. TCS will be providing a series of reflection questions for small groups to address “in real life” after the Zoom gathering.
