Growing in the Radiance of Teilhard the Mystic: A Two-Part Virtual Series
2026-02-04 18:00 - 20:00
Growing in the Radiance of Teilhard the Mystic: A Two-Part Virtual Series
Evenings with Kathy Duffy, SSJ
Wednesday, February 4 and 11
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
One of the most important capacities for those of us who wish to live a truly mystical life is the ability to see. Openness to the other and to the many sensations in our immediate surroundings deepens our ability to access the radiance of Matter’s inner face, as well as our capacity to respond to the Divine Presence we encounter within. As we engage passages from Teilhard’s mystical writings, we come to know the Cosmic Christ as the source of all Radiance, drawing the human family toward the light and stirring up passionate desire to join in the work of creation.
Kathleen Duffy, SSJ directs the Institute for Religion and Science. She is President of the American Teilhard Association, former editor of Teilhard Studies, and serves on the Advisory Board of Cosmos and Creation. She has published Teilhard’s Mysticism: Seeing the Inner Face of the Evolution; Teilhard’s Struggle: Embracing the Work of Evolution; and edited the volume of essays, Rediscovering Teilhard’s Fire.
Donation – Suggested Scale $35-$40 for both evenings, February 4 and 11.

Explicitly Embodied: Exploring the Sacred Synergy of Spirit and Psyche presents an integrative perspective of spiritual growth as an expression of conscious evolution. Drawing on the insight that spiritual awakening is a process of embodiment, this talk proposes that psyche and spirit mature together through lived, relational, and incarnational experience.
At the heart of this webinar is Sacred Synergy, Andrew Del Rossi’s forthcoming book with Paulist Press. The text presents a framework that brings psychology and spirituality into a dynamic and relational dialogue. Engaging the evolutionary mysticism of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the depth psychology of Carl Jung, and the integrative vision of psychosynthesis articulated by Roberto Assagioli, the talk demonstrates how inner transformation calls us to participate in a larger cosmological and evolutionary process. Rather than remaining at the level of abstraction or esoteric speculation, these perspectives are translated into accessible, real-world applications that address everyday challenges of meaning, identity, and wholeness.
Designed for both seasoned seekers and those new to exploring the spiritual life, this webinar emphasizes concrete practices, examples, and interpretive tools that nurture authenticity, joy, and purpose amid the complexities of contemporary life. By affirming embodiment as the locus of spiritual realization, Explicitly Embodied invites participants to experience spiritual growth as conscious participation in the sacred unfolding of the universe.
