Mystic Heart 2025Pregnant with Nothing: Apophatic PrayerA Spiritual Direction Formation Programme for experienced spiritual directors and those interested in contemplation In this Mystic Heart formation offering, we will delve into the Christian tradition of apophatic prayer. Our focus will be on the language of apophatic prayer such as nothing, nada, cloud of unknowing, darkness, abyss and emptiness. Also, we will ponder the nature of the “apophatic self”, “apophatic knowing” and its meaning for an evolutionary world. Through beholding communally, we will enter into the depthless depths of apophatic metaphors, into the evolutionary flow of how the prayer of the author, the writing, the reading, and the prayer of the reader, one together, unfold and awaken ever revealing apophatic wisdom. For more information and to register, please go to https://contemplatio.com.au/schola-contemplatio/mystical-heart/ |
