The Gospel of Philip: Set 1. These recordings accompany a series of practices and talks on the Gospel of Philip, one of the ancient texts found at Nag Hamadi in the Egyptian desert. Jo, Viv and Tim present a Lectio Divina practice on the opening passages of this early Christian guide to meditation and authentic living in the Spirit of God. Contact us at theschoolofchristianmysticism@gmail.com if you would like to join us live for the meditations and/or discussions.

The first in a series of talks and practices on Jean-Yves Leloup's translation of 'The Gospel of Philip'. In this introductory episode, Viv gives an historical background and Jo outlines some of the themes in the book. Tim gives his impression of the gospel ain terms of a spiritual guide having spent some months with it in contemplative practice and each gives some reaction to their own reading. The second half of the episode is a Lectio Divina practice using an extract from the beginning of the gospel. There will be a follow up opportunity for people to discuss this episode and details will be posted here with invitation to join in, in due course.

Viv interviews Anne Baring for the School of Christian Mysticism about the Divine Feminine and The Dream of the Cosmos. "Anne Baring is one of the great pioneers on the Divine Feminine of our time. Her work is a marvelous marriage of profound learning, deep and mature mystical experience and a vivid immediate gift of communication. Her latest book, The Dream of the Cosmos, is the consummation of her life’s work, twenty years in the making." This is a hard hitting interview about the re-emergence in our time of the feminine face of God after millennia of repression and oppression by institutional religion. She talks also about the important relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
