$ Turning to the Mystics Virtual Retreat (Center for Action and Contemplation)
December 8, 2022 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Explore live contemplative teachings and practices with James Finley in this 4-day immersive virtual retreat, Dec. 8-11, 2022.
In an age of instant responses, we can all benefit from learning to consciously integrate depth and dimension into our lives. How different would your life be if you moved through each moment with deeper awareness?
In that spirit, we invite you to the Turning to the Mystics Virtual Retreat, a new interactive journey into contemplative wisdom with James Finley, Ph.D., CAC faculty member and host of Turning to the Mystics podcast. Over the course of four days, journey with spiritual seekers online and discover ways to integrate mystical wisdom and contemplative practices into your daily life. Live sessions will be recorded so event participants can access replay videos.
Building on the themes of the Turning to the Mystics podcast, James Finley leans into his journey as a Trappist monk, clinical psychologist, and retreat leader to help participants:
- Personalize key contemplative teachings to suit the rhythm of their own lives.
- Create a sacred experience in the comfort of their own homes.
- Feel more confident integrating mystical wisdom and contemplative practices into their daily routines and rituals.
- Co-create a contemplative community—a monastery without walls—with fellow seekers, wounded healers, and everyday mystics.
Whether you have an established contemplative practice or beginning your journey, the virtual retreat will help deepen awareness and connection through discourse, reflection, and moments of shared silence.
