Nicholas Colloff – Dom Bede Griffiths: A Universalist Christian Mystic
“Beyond it all is this undivided wholeness and it is that wholeness which we are all seeking. We are all fragmented but we have this longing for the whole, for the One…”
Rooted in his own Christian faith and exploration, the Benedictine monk Father Bede speaks to all of us who feel there must be one God, one reality underlying all religions, and who feel that it must be genuinely transformative of our lives individually and in community. In bringing this reality to an experienced fullness in his own life, in profound dialogue with other spiritual traditions, he shares it generously with all of us through the witness of his remarkable life, the foundation of Shantivanam as a Christian ashram in South India, and his insightful, wise writings. In this webinar, Colloff will take us on a compelling journey to the divine Centre, into the divine feminine, and outwards into a renewed life in love.
