The weekend will be based on discursive reasoning and contemplative mediations on the nature of the Supreme Being. Using Eugene Hallidays collection of short writings "Essays on God" as a starting point, participants will be invited to explore wide ranging ideas about what God is and is not, examining these both intellectually and as the basis of deep meditation.
