The Interior Landscape of John O’Donohue: Mystic, Priest and Writer
Saturday, February 1
9 a.m.-12 p.m. (EST)​
​
Facilitated by the Rev. Tim Grayson
Episcopal Diocese of Maryland
4 East University Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21218
(GPS Address: 3601 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218)
Perhaps no other modern spiritual guide has melded the world outside with the interior landscape of heart, soul and spirit like John O’Donohue. He wants us to see the world differently and to guide us to that place where “with an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.” *
As poet, mystic, priest and philosopher, O’Donohue draws on his diverse talents to construct a unified vision of the beauty and wholeness that every thinking, feeling person longs for.
In this half-day retreat, we will intersperse presentations and discussions of O’Donohue’s work with two periods of Centering Prayer and ample time for questions and answers.
The workshop begins at 9 a.m., with refreshments starting at 8:30 a.m.
Please note the address to enter into your GPS is different from the street address. Ample parking is available.
* From William Wordsworth’s “Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey,” July, 1798.
