Sunday, March 7 The Solace of Fierce Landscapes: Exploring desert and mountain spirituality

Using Belden Lane’s book of this name as a source, we will explore the spirituality of what we might understand as the empty spiritual places, also known as the apophatic tradition: finding God in ‘the silence beyond language.’  From St. Catherine and John of the Cross to modern writers, our forbearers have found these not to be places of ultimate absence, but places where emptiness led to profound understanding of the Sacred. Led by Todd Donatelli
