Facilitated by Adam Clark
Waking Up: Encountering the Teachings of Anthony De Mello is the inaugural offering in our new Modern Mystics series.
Anthony de Mello (1931 – 1987) was an Indian-born Jesuit priest, spiritual director, and psychotherapist. He was renowned worldwide for his workshops, retreats, and prayer courses rooted in the Christian Gospels, the mystical traditions of East and West and unitive consciousness. An early pioneer of the interspirituality movement, he demonstrated how different religious traditions have similar spiritual practices. His own "sadhana" was drawn from Ignatian spirituality, yoga, Buddhist insight meditation, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insights.
Perhaps the most popular of de Mello's many books are his collections of story meditations and "one minute wisdom." Other books present the key themes of his workshops, including the importance of awareness both of one's own behavior and God's loving presence, the need to wake up and come back to your senses, the problems caused by fear and attachment, the way to change yourself and become happy, and the value of silence, meditation, and a variety of other prayer practices.
We invite you to join us  in “Waking Up”, a 6 week exploration of the teachings of Anthony de Mello and related thinkers. We'll reflect on his teachings, recognize ourselves in his stories, and try his practices.
Adam Clark is an Associate Professor of Theology at Xavier University, is committed to the idea that theological education in the twenty-first century must function as a counter-story. One that equips students to read against the grain of the dominant culture and inspires them to live into the Ignatian dictum of going forth “to set the world on fire.” He currently serves as co-chair of Black Theology Group at the American Academy of Religion, actively publishes in the area of black theology and black religion and participates in social justice groups at Xavier and in the Cincinnati area.
