  • Mystic Circles

    Featured
    LMH Main Room 26 Pleasant St, Newburyport, MA, United States

    June 30, LMH Main Room, 6:30-8pm. This is the final meeting of the series. Mystic Circles is a gathering of individuals who have interest in sharing and affirming their own experiences of the Divine, the holy, and the Sacred, and worshiping together. We are very diverse from the perspective of religious/spiritual backgrounds and orientations. We share a commitment to staying open to mystery. Mysticism is about an attitude of receptivity. Throughout the ages, mystics have sought union with the Divine—with God (however you define God)—through a variety of spiritual practices.  Mysticism is not about a set of beliefs or dogma; rather it is about the felt experience of longing for union with the Holy and of belonging to something larger than yourself. Sometimes mystical moments can be about ordinary experiences of awe and wonder. In Mystic Circles we bear witness to one another’s experiences, share our questions, and create embodied worship practices. No previous experience with mysticism is required. We practice non-judgmental listening and freedom of expression as we each listen to each other and our own deepest selves. For more information, please email Rev. Jane Tuohy at Jane.tuohy@frsuu.org.
