The American Mystics
with Dr. Bill Little
Sunday July 10, 1:00 - 3 pm
Fee $20.00
Grace meditation hall

To be transcendent is to overcome the conditions of the world.  In the East the swan is the symbol of transcendence because it floats over the waves of the lake with poise and grace.  In this afternoon class, we will explore three very different American authors, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Henry David Thoreau, who not only lived this way, but who laid the foundation for mysticism in the United States.
