In this intensive teaching, Cynthia Bourgeault delves deeply into Raimon Panikkar’s groundbreaking book Christophany: The Fullness of Man. Panikkar, a pioneer in East-West dialogue, presents the Trinity as the supreme symbol of Christian advaita, or non-dualism, articulating a vision of Christian consciousness within a non-dual metaphysical framework. With clarity and accessibility, Cynthia guides listeners through Panikkar’s cosmology, opening the profound spiritual and theological insights of his work to contemporary seekers. She explores themes such as the relationship between Christology and Christophany, the imaginal realm, heart perception, theosis and kenosis, interreligious dialogue, the Eucharist, and the Trinity as an icon of divine exchange. Throughout, Cynthia highlights the transformative potential of Panikkar’s vision, boldly asserting that “these are ideas that could change the face of Christianity.” Cynthia Bourgeault is a modern-day mystic, Episcopal priest, and internationally known retreat leader. She is the author of numerous books, including The Wisdom Jesus and Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening, and is recognized for her pioneering work in integrating the Christian contemplative path with other global streams of wisdom.
