In the heart of the late 13th and early 14th centuries, amidst the tumultuous times of Europe in that epoch, a profound voice emerged that continues to resonate in our day. This voice was that of Meister Eckhart, a German theologian, philosopher, and mystic whose teachings have captivated scholars and spiritual seekers alike over the centuries. This program, led by Eckhart scholar and poet Mark S. Burrows, explores this wisdom through the window of his recent books of meditative poems that voice Eckhart’s thought in ways described by a recent critic as “brimming with passion, originality, and depth.” Come to discover, explore, and reap wisdom’s harvest.

Led by Kim Rosen, with Mary Lou van Schaik This series is designed for those who have previously experienced the Death’s Door (aka Feast of Losses) series, as well as for those who are new to the course. Through an immersive alchemy of poetry, music, movement, guided explorations, and deep, authentic sharing, we will dive ever more intimately into themes touched in the original series, interwoven with new explorations. Saying goodbye, opening to incapacity; meeting “everyday deaths”, making peace with our bodies; practicing the “art of losing”; asking for help; and welcoming not knowing as a portal to vibrant aliveness — these are a few of the realms we’ll explore.
