The Mystical Imagination

There is a lot of talk these days of community and mission, but formation is sometimes forgotten in the midst of it all. This seems to be the most difficult part of our lives to practice because it is embedded in mystery, paradox, and is beyond the intellect. The Mystical Imagination takes you on a path into the depths of the interior life where our concepts of God unravel and our true self comes to life. We start to live into a more countercultural way of life where a contemplative spirituality is our greatest longing and our deepest expression of love in the world.
