Mysticism conjures up images and feelings that are not only mysterious but also that carry an air of magic and of the exotic. Authentic mysticism, Christian mysticism, is indeed exotic because it is supernatural, but it certainly is not magic. What's more, you are called to be a mystic in your own way - because you are called to enter into the mystery of God. Christian meditation is the gateway to mysticism, whereby you come to know God through the person of Jesus Christ, and listen to Him and His plan for your life. This retreat will show you the broad landscape of Christian spirituality so that you can confidently enter into meditation, progress along the mystic path and grow in your relationship with God which is the true source of inner harmony and happiness in this life and eternity in Heaven.
