Meditating with Howard Thurman

About this event

Adults (18+). Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was an American Author, minister, mystic and theologian. As a spiritual advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,he is regarded by many as the "pastor of the civil rights movement" in the United States. This course will offer the opportunity to meditate using several of Thurman's writings. The hope is that participants will become more aware of Turman's work, and, more importantly, allow his words to deepen one's own personal spirituality. Though grounded in the Christian tradition, Thurman was a strong proponent of interfaith dialogue and worship experiences, so participants of all faith traditions as well as those with no specific faith affiliation or spiritual orientation will benefit. No prior experience with meditation is required. Presented by OLLI
