Coming Home in God and in Oneself

Description

The light as well as the dark find their home in the silence in the mystery of oneself. From a poem by Silvia Ostertag In a world where everything changes faster and faster, it helps to nurture one's own inner home. Being at home with oneself means accepting oneself, including one's own shadow and light sides. In Christian mysticism, the path to this self-acceptance leads through letting go of all images. To better understand this paradox, the lectures interpret texts by mystics who assume that the path to one's own ground is a path into the security of God. Elements Continuous silence, several hours of sitting in silence, walking meditation, lectures and impulses, individual conversation, worship service. Requirements For the deepening days, attending an introduction to contemplation or Zen is advantageous. If you do not have this, please contact Regula Tanner r. tanner@katharina-werk. org beforehand.
