Mysticism has influenced the human journey in every historical and social period. “Swimming in a Transcendent Sea" is a helpful metaphor for how one finds meaning and purpose in life’s journey inwardly and outwardly. We will look at how Western and Eastern mysticism differ in their historical origins, core beliefs, and spiritual practices, though both share a common goal of experiencing a deeper reality or connection with the divine. Small and large group discussion will be included and will focus on inner and outer journeys.
