7:30pm -9:00pm
Facilitator: Al Gustafson
As part of our Lenten journey, Befriending the Dark, Still Point invites you to join a communal reading and discussion of Gerald May’s Dark Night of the Soul. With clarity, compassion, and deep psychological and spiritual insight, May helps demystify the experience of darkness, freeing it from fear and misunderstanding as he reframes it as a meaningful and often grace-filled dimension of the spiritual life.
May describes the Dark Night as a movement of love: a gentle but sometimes very unsettling invitation to let go of false supports, illusions of control, and constricted images of God.
Our book discussion will offer space for thoughtful reflection, shared wisdom, and honest conversation as we explore how darkness can become a place of transformation, surrender, and deeper trust.
