What is Modern Mystic?

What can we learn about ourselves when we listen to the sacred voices of the past? MODERN MYSTIC is a 4-week online reading-writing-meditation workshop that will teach you to access your unique creative voice through the world of the ancient mystics. In many mystic traditions, it’s believed that certain people receive a gift that makes them poetic conduits of the divine, bearers of the greatest truths about human nature. Join us to discover the power of incorporating sacred texts and traditions into your personal practices.

Is Modern Mystic right for you?

Modern Mystic is for creatives, teachers, healing practitioners, and explorers who have a sense that they’re here to be of service, understand that there’s more to the world than meets the eye, and who recognize that there’s something out of balance that can be corrected through connection to the mystic realms.
