Mystical Activism Workshop at St. Mary's at Penn

Join St Mary’s at Penn and Cynthia Bourgeault for this in-person and live-streamed event on loving God and our neighbor with radical obedience.

Come be inspired in your faith and action, with modern mystic, writer, speaker, and internationally renowned contemplative leader, Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault. A Penn and St. Mary’s alumna, Cynthia will address the pressing question of our time. How do we live a life radically obedient to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, loving God and our neighbor?

Cynthia will lead an interactive, practice-based workshop blending mystical and monastic practices with profound social action. Cynthia will draw on insights from mystical activism, Franciscan spirituality, and the life and witness of Fr. John Scott, long-time rector of St. Mary’s in the midst of the tumultuous 60s and 70s. All will be inspired to apply this wisdom in the current divided world, with radical courage, gospel compassion, justice, and hospitality.

There will be an opportunity for conversation, with refreshments provided.
