The Reflective Heart
Weekly on Tuesdays
21:00–22:00 BST/GMT
Online study of chapters from James Morris’s, The Reflective Heart: Discovering Spiritual Intelligence in Ibn ‘Arabi’s Meccan Illuminations.
Description
This is an existing group which has recently been studying James Morris’s, The Reflective Heart, a work which includes translated extracts from Ibn ‘Arabi’s Futuhat al-Makkiyya (Meccan Revelations). We are just reaching the end of the chapter on “Listening” and are planning to continue with the chapter on “Seeing”. There are a limited number of places for new members.
The group spans the time zones of Australia, New Zealand, UK and America.
Until the autumn, zoom sessions will be 21:00 – 22:00 BST which allows the antipodeans to participate for an early morning session. When we reach GMT at the end of October, we will revert to 20:00 – 21:00 pm GMT sessions.
