Celebrating the Sacred: A Program of Mystical Study is an invitation to participate in Beverly’s intimate teaching style and scholarly, contemplative engagement with the essential themes that animate our quest for truth.  Her desire is to share with a community of spiritual friends how profound it is to be alive, devoting our time and our hearts to the gift of wisdom, to seeking the Divine with intention, joy, and love.  It is to probe deeply into the soul’s longing, the challenges of life today, and the insights offered by spiritual masters and pilgrims of the soul. It is an affirmation of the critical monastic impulse within us, that we—of differing backgrounds, races, or spiritual orientations—seek to give of ourselves in service of love.

The program consists of 10 online sessions, delivered live via Zoom (with a recording made available later for those who cannot be on the live session), as well as exercises, and questions that will be sent via email. The live online sessions will provide an opportunity to interact with Dr. Lanzetta directly, to ask questions, and to connect with your fellow journeyers on the path.

Some  of the themes that will be explored include: Cultivating a Monastic Sensibility in the World; Contemplation and Inner Freedom; The Soul’s Suffering and the Liberation of Identity; Engaging with Spirit on Earth; The Prayer of the Heart; Mystical Path of the Feminine and Radical Mercy; Embodied Mysticism: Family, Children, Sexuality; Poetry of Divine Love.
