JOY WITHIN: Meister Eckhart’s Way of Releasement (Part II)

“Do not be afraid…joy is within you”
– Meister Eckhart

Release yourself. Relax and effortlessly allow yourself to be one with God, says Meister Eckhart. And you will know joy unbound. Come learn how to release yourself into God. In these retreats, we will reflect on Meister Eckhart’s teaching on “Gelassenheit” or releasement (meaning detachment and letting go/letting be) as the key to becoming a mystic, as the key to being happy.

Eckhart lived a gentle, detached, and active life; his life was guided by letting go and letting be. We will learn about his life in the context of his anxious, violent times – times very much like our own. Releasing the self and its attachments, releasing into the God beyond God, freeing our consciousness, and shaking loose from all the shackles of rigidity and loneliness – whether in our minds or in society and religion – will form the core of our reflections. We will even avert to Eckhart’s thoughts on changing the church.

Each retreat will include three periods of Centering Prayer, a lecture, and a discussion. Presented by L.J. Milone.
