Across the arc of the high Middle Ages, a powerful vernacular “school” of mysticism emerged. Associated with the brilliant 13th century Flemish Beguine Hadewijch and, half a century later, the German Dominican Meister Eckhart, these voices charted new mystical paths for those daring to venture on “a wayless way” (Eckhart). We’ll weave a conversation with these two luminaries, exploring several of Hadewijch’s writings (from her poems, letters, and visions) and selections from Eckhart’s writings. On this journey we’ll explore the experience they shared of the “soft stillness” of love/God. Join us for the journey.
