This short online seminar series will explore the vital God experienced, in their own unique ways, by both Ignatius Loyola and Hildegard of Bingen. We will look at their particular experience and how this found outward expression in order to draw inspiration for living a vital, generative, Spirit-filled life in today’s world. The seminars will include a presentation, some space for reflection and shared conversation.
The series also includes a half-day online workshop which will create space to drop into some experiential practices designed to help root and deepen the insights from the seminars.
