OCTOBER 23-24 | BOSTON, MA
Join us in Boston to celebrate a hinge moment in the life of Malcolm Guite as he sets out the stall as to what he believes and has set out to defend in all his work, which is that the imagination is a truth bearing faculty and a vital means of intuiting and apprehending real truths about both the creation and the creator.
Gather with Malcolm and some of his best friends and collaborators and let your imagination be kindled for Christ, who is himself, the kindling imagination of God, who brings all things into being. This is a one-of-a-kind gathering that will not be recorded or livestreamed. You have to be in the room.
MALCOM'S AIM
To awaken the mind's attention, to remove the "film of familiarity, to "cleanse the doors of perception." and through imagination, see the world as still enchanted, still alive with God’s presence and blessing.
WITH FRIENDS
Enjoy conversations, music, poetry, storytelling and art with Dr. Martin Shaw, Steve Bell, Stephen Crotts, Bruce Herman, Anna A. Friedrich, Pete Peterson, Joshua Luke Smith, Inkwell, Common Good Magazine, and more. With music presented by local musicians davy and Kendall Ramseur.
‘To excite a feeling analogous to the supernatural, by awakening the mind’s attention to the lethargy of custom, and directing it to the loveliness and the wonders of the world before us; an inexhaustible treasure, but for which, in consequence of the film of familiarity and selfish solicitude, we have eyes, yet see not, ears that hear not, and hearts that neither feel nor understand.’ - Samuel Coleridge -
