Christ as the Satguru: Moving Beyond the Ego in Meditation with Prof Peter Tyler

from WCCM Audio · host Laurence Freeman

This is a dialogue between Paola (WCCM Marketing) and Prof Peter Tyler, a long-time friend and companion of the World Community for Christian Meditation with an extensive academic career. Peter is presently Professor of Pastoral Theology and Spirituality at St Mary’s University, London. "Whenever I teach Christian spirituality, I always say there are two essential elements, two wings of the tradition. One is the desert monastic tradition. The other essential element is the one that forms the basis of the retreat, what's called the mystical tradition, a form of contemplation that's been around since the beginning of Christianity." Prof Peter Tyler will be leading a retreat titled 'Approaches to Meditation: Enriching Guidance from the wisdom of the Mystics', 28 April - 3 May, in Bonnevaux, France.
