He was at various times a provincial in the Dominican Order, a professor of theology and a renowned preacher and spiritual director. Eckhart generally followed the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas but fell under suspicion of heresy for his teachings regarding the absolute transcendence and unknowability of God. His profession of faith, repudiation of error and submission to the Holy See were declared by Pope John XXII in 1329. Discover the foundation of the soul Meister Eckhart teaches that the foundation of the soul is an uncreated spark, the seat of divine life where the birth of the Word takes place and where our (limited but essential) resemblance to God is realized. By putting aside sin and laying bare the soul, we may achieve through contemplation a mystical union with God. This 15day retreat opens these mystical teachings but constantly recalls us to their practical application, throughreflections on Suffering, Martha and Mary, and Answering Spiritual Hunger, among others.
