Dan Quinlan is on a journey as a mystic-in-training at the Center for Action and Contemplation’s Living School. He's also a husband, and a father of two ambitious soon-to-be physicians. As Lumunos' Business and Operations Director, he works hard to find sustainable avenues for bringing our services to a wider audience. In his "spare" time, you'll find him fighting for policy change to address climate change, playing soccer, or backcountry skiing down the slopes in Vermont. He can be reached at dan@lumunos.org.

A wife, mother, grandmother, and retiree, Betsy has freedom to pursue her inner journey as a Spiritual Director and as a Kundalini Yoga Instructor.

Mystics for Everyday Living
(A Monthly Drop-In Online Event)
Facilitated by Dan Quinlan and Betsy Perry
Imagination—Can I Walk in the Shoes of Another?
The Wisdom of Dr. Catherine Meeks
A mystic is an ordinary person who: 1) hears the call both to turn inward and to step up; 2) cultivates a contemplative life; and 3) offers the fruits in service to others. The framework for each session will be to explore a few of the main ideas each mystic focused on, and how those ideas might help us in our spiritual journeys. Each session will include a short accessible reading to help participants become familiar with key ideas. Personal reflection time, conversation with others, and ideas for contemplative practices will be woven into the sessions, providing opportunities to explore our own internal and external journey towards wholeness.
When: 2nd Wednesday of each month
Time: 7-9PM EST
Cost: $10 per session (We do not believe cost should be a barrier. For questions about scholarships, email becca@lumunos.org.)
