Using Desmond Tutu’s spiritual and life journey as a mirror to see God, other humans, the rest of creation, and yourself more clearly, this program will deepen belief and engage in creative action for justice, reconciliation, and peace.
The Very Rev. Michael Battle and a South African team will lead participants to learn about Tutu’s spiritual practice that was the foundation upon which his heroic life rested. Rev. Dr. Michael Battle and the SA team will reveal insights they learned from Archbishop Tutu over several decades of the Archbishop’s life, witness and ministry. The course will focus on Tutu’s spirituality within the framework of the mystical cycle of Purgation, Illumination and Union. Throughout the six weeks, participants will be exposed to various spiritual exercises, ubuntu circles and spiritual music. There will be time for sharing.
For those who attended Michael Battle’s workshop Releasing an Enslaved Spirit in January, this program provides an opportunity to take a deeper dive into some of the ideas presented there, while also providing much additional content about Archbishop Tutu and the South African context.
