Today, 01/01/21, we begin the year long novitiate for people considering joining the Mystic Circle of Unitarian Universalists. This is a year of discernment. The life of a lay monk is not for everyone. Such a life takes discipline, commitment, and a decision to devote one’s life to the path of the Spirit rather than to the path of the ego. The life of a UU mystic is to be lived and experienced more than just talked about and discussed. The purpose of living such a life is to further develop an awareness of one’s interior spiritual being.
The topics covered in the year long 52 week syllabus are a glossary of terms and concepts, practices, values, experts, and texts. These topic areas will be distributed throughout the 52 weeks.
Materials will include texts, videos, and an online discussion group.
There are no eligibility criteria to join the novitiate. There are eligibility criteria however for admission to the Mystic Circle of Unitarian Universalists.
Welcome on this journey and join our discussion group to further learn, digest, and apply the ideas, values, and practices of the mystical life.
