Kanuga presents March Lunch & Learn: “The Mystics of the Rhineland with Rob Fields”
March 19 @ 10:00 am - 1:30 pm
$28.16
Kanuga hosts educator and Center for Spiritual Wisdom Director Rob Fields for “The Mystics of the Rhineland” in Hendersonville, NC, Thursday, March 19. Part of Kanuga’s monthly Lunch & Learn series, “Mystics of the Rhineland” explores the visionaries whose teachings continue to shape Christian spirituality.
Set on Kanuga’s picturesque 1,400-acre campus, the event begins with an optional forest bathing nature walk, weather permitting, at 10 a.m. prior to Fields’ presentation, which begins at 11 a.m. Following the presentation, guests can enjoy a buffet lunch in Kanuga’s dining hall.
Fields will explore the lives and insights of Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th-century Benedictine abbess, composer and healer whose visions revealed the divine presence within all creation; Meister Eckhard, the 14th-century theologian and preacher who spoke of the “birth of God in the soul” and the deep unity of all beings; and the Benguines, laywomen who formed vibrant spiritual communities devoted to prayer, service and inner freedom. Through their writings, music and mystical insight, participants will discover themes of creativity, compassion and the interconnectedness of spirit and world.
