Rickey Cotton, Ed.D.
Meister Eckhart, the most quoted Christian mystic of our time, was dramatically influenced by women mystics of his time; Hadewijch, Mechthild and Porete. A world-class philosopher and popular preacher, Eckhart shared their passion that people have a deep, real experience of God. Our workshop will engage the inspiring lives and teachings of Eckhart and these heroic women as well as providing time for contemplative prayer and rich dialogue.
