Location Yet to be Determined
Come away for a special weekend to explore the seven mansions of Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle. Teresa is one of Christianity’s great mystics and teachers (1515-1582). The Interior Castle was her final work and one of the greatest literacy works on experiential mysticism and contemplation in Christianity. Prayer stood at the center of Teresa’s teaching, and she embraced prayer as a means of relationship with God. She considered a life of prayer in terms of love. Together we will explore the contemporary journey in light of Teresa’s timeless insights into the human soul and its journey towards God. |
