Spiritual Directors Circle: Teilhard and the Five Mystical Circles

The Spiritual Directors Circle of the Philadelphia Region presents,

Teilhard and the Five Mystical Circles 

Program Description:

Mystic scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ envisioned how, through evolution, creation is moving closer to God. In his essay entitled The Mystical Milieu, Teilhard writes about his ascent through five mystical circles, moving more intimately into the heart of the universe and the Heart of God. As a scientist and mystic, Teilhard’s descriptions of the Divine in each circle speak to a different perspective through which one might experience and connect with God. In this workshop, we will journey through Teilhard’s five mystical circles while exploring how the same evolutionary fire at the heart of the cosmos is burning within the human person, drawing us to greater wholeness.

The event will start with lunch, then Dr. Del Rossi will speak and there will be ample time for Q & A. We will then break into small groups for the opportunity to reflect on the key teachings from Dr. Del Rossi’s presentation and how these pertain to the ministry of spiritual direction.  The small groups will focus on contemplative discussion, journaling, and artwork. This program is intended for spiritual directors and those that are in spiritual director formation.
