Many have been disillusioned with the current experience of Christianity in the West. How can Rohr’s inclusive vision of the perennial contemplative tradition help Christianity be in service to the common good, rather than colonial interests? For those of other traditions and lineages, how can Rohr’s vision help one become more aware of the shadows and limitations of a Christian worldview that has had a profound impact on the Western world? How can a contemplative lifestyle help us make our way forward in times of upheaval and disorder?</p><p>The themes we’ll cover during our first 3 meetings will be: </p><p>1. “Incarnational mysticism” in modern times</p><p>2. Practice-based spirituality </p><p>3. The Wisdom Pattern Applied to the Christian Institution and Beyond</p><p>The themes explored in weeks 4-6 will be determined in light of the needs and interest of the group. Contemplative practices and readings from Rohr will be provided to keep the reflection active in between sessions. We know not everyone identifies as religious, much less as Christian, or a Jesus follower. In an overly Christianized midwestern context even the word &quot;Christ&quot; can be a trigger. If you&#x27;ve wondered how these traditions integrate into universal, archetypal, and communal practices today you&#x27;ll have a lot to offer to our time. This is an intentionally inclusive multi-week experience for exploring the ancient Contemplative teaching of Christ Consciousness, Cosmic Christ, and &quot;the God within whom move and have our being&quot; as expressed in the teachings of Richard Rohr and other contemplative teachers. </p><p>Space will be created for dissent and individual experience while refraining from approaching Rohr as a “guru” or ultimate authority. Rohr- like other mystics and teachers- can be in service to an awakening that is bigger than any one teacher or tradition. In essence, it’s the goal of this experience for Rohr’s work and vision to be in service to the individual/collective awakening of the group, rather than the other way around. </p><p>We hope you’ll join us!</p><p>Chris La Rue is a member of the Hive Lead Team. A graduate student in theology at Xavier University, Chris is passionate about conducting rigorous dialogue with his Christian lineage, seeking to excavate the gifts the tradition may have to offer for the common good. Mystical theology, interreligious dialogue, and the role of spirituality in modern times are his primary fields of study. Chris facilitates small groups around the practice of Centering Prayer and other practices engaging the contemplative dimensions of faith. He resides in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati, and can likely be found drinking good coffee with his friends at your local cafe.</p><h3>Updated Covid Considerations: Consistent with new CDC guidance, masks are no longer required indoors at the Hive.
