I hope that you liked my recent series: Spiritual Borrowing: A Historical and Current Case Study in Prayer Beads. If so, you might want to explore the possibility of developing your own practice with prayer beads. Try getting started with the Rosary. Additionally, if you enjoyed the series, then you may also enjoy the next series in transpersonal sociology: Does Wyoming Really Exist? The Metaphysics of the Mystical Experience. Expect the first installment of that series to show up some time next week.
A little further down the pike, I have some other writing projects in the works. Currently, I am finishing up a companion workbook to accompany Just Begin for a book series study to be offered by the Education for Ministry program of the Episcopal Church. Additionally, the big project that I’m working on right now is tentatively titled Mystical Reflection in which I am proposing a simple method for how groups can talk about and interpret mystical experiences. At the moment, I’m workshopping this method with two groups in the Sewanee, TN area. So stay tuned for more details on that one…
Lastly, I am offering some new workshops and seminars this spring. I will be holding a workshop on the Enneagram for the Companions in Ministry of the School of Theology at the University of the South, and I will also offer a seminar on mindfulness meditation and the Practice of the Presence of God for the Catechumenate program at the University of the South. Are you interested in booking me for a workshop or seminar on mysticism or mystical practices? If so, please see this page.
