SUMMARY:The Mystical Experience of Everyday Living
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Sophfronia Scott\, M.F.A. \nMysticism is often viewed as the privileged experience of a few chosen\, holy individuals. But German Jesuit\, Karl Rahner\, wrote about “everyday mysticism\,” and Carmelite Sister Ruth Burrows described the mystical life simply as “God touching the depths of our being.” God is closer than we think–to all of us. We’ll explore everyday mysticism as life events filled with God’s unmistakable presence. Sharing Thomas Merton’s experiences and her own\, Sophfronia will help attendees notice\, identify\, and appreciate mystical encounters in their everyday lives. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance. \nThis program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer. \nSophfronia Scott\, M.F.A.\, is director of Alma College’s Master’s program in Creative Writing and holds degrees from Harvard and the Vermont College of Fine Arts. A novelist\, essayist\, and contemplative thinker\, her books include the newly-released The Seeker and the Monk: Everyday Conversations with Thomas Merton\, as well as All I Need to Get By\, Unforgivable Love\, Love’s Long Line\, and This Child of Faith. Her work has appeared in Time\, People and O\, The Oprah Magazine.
