Location

The Meditatio Centre
St Mark's, Myddelton Square London EC1R1XX

During  this day we will be looking at how a variety of poets have approached mystical experience, and how they try to convey what is ineffable in poetic language.  This will hopefully help us to think about how mystical thinking irradiates our everyday lives and experiences.

Please join us for a wonderful day of input, discussion, reading of poetry, meditation with tea and cake, of course.
