with English Mystics","description":"

What makes mystics, mystics?

Often it's their deep connection to God through prayer and ecstatic experiences. Dan London knows a lot about that, he's taught a course on English Mystics for years, and in this course he unpacks the subject with four video presentations entitled:

What Is a Mystic
Julian of Norwich
The Cloud of Unknowing
Praying with English Mystics

This course is perfect for those who are looking to expand their understanding and practice of prayer.
