Madison, WI: Weekend retreat (Fri-Sun):
All Wisdom's Children: Meditations with the Great Mystics of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Jewish, Christian and Islamic mystics through the ages have shared the view that Holy Wisdom invites us all to the same feast, where there is enough for all. Jewish mystics honored Holy Wisdom both as the Hochmah of Proverbs and the Shekhinah of Shabbat. Christian mystics honored her as Sophia, and many early Aramaic-speaking Christians saw her embodied in the life and teachings of Jesus. Sufis and other Islamic mystics welcomed her as the divine Beloved as well as another face of the Only Being. This retreat will share sitting meditation, body prayer, walking meditation and Dances of Universal Peace connecting these traditions and related to Neil's new book The Sufi Book of Life. By imagining us all sharing Wisdom's table, we can more easily accept and befriend the paradoxes of life as well as the prodigal sons and daughters we find within us. The shared wisdom of the three traditions also show us ways to bring energy and love back into our lives. We can then more easily recognize each other as one family, all of us Wisdom's children.
