Spiritual Teachers: Martin Buber
with Josie von Zitzewitz
Wed 15th July, 6:30-9pm, Meditatio Centre, London EC1R 1XX
Martin Buber was a prolific Jewish thinker, best known for his treatise “I and Thou” (1923). His teaching is highly relevant to meditators today, cautioning us against reflecting our spiritual experience exclusively in psychological terms as to do so risks losing sight of the Other we can never know fully. Explore how Buber can help us rediscover our awe before God and, by extension, before every person we encounter.
