Robert Lax: Poet - Mystic - Sage

Robert Lax:  Poet - Mystic - Sage

OLMC parishioners might be interested in taking advantage of this opportunity for study and reflection evenings at Santa Sabina, on the campus of Dominican University in San Rafael.  Steve T. Georgiou, whose publications focus on the work of Robert Lax, will offer evenings of reading, reflection, and conversation to enable others to come to know and appreciate this Christian mystic and minimalist poet’s work.  Lax was described by Thomas Merton, his closest friend, as having an inborn direction to the living God.  In 1964, Lax left his native New York for Greece, and eventually became a hermit on Patmos, Isle of the Revelation.  There, he perfected his ascetic, mantra-like style of verse and lived an intensely love-centered life. 

All are invited to come and explore the art and spirituality of Robert Lax!

Five Wednesdays:  January 21, February 11, March 11, April 15, & May 13, 2015, from 7pm to 8:30pm.  Suggested donation:  $20.  For more details, visit www.santasabinacenter.org or call 415.457.7727.
