Regarding the talks: God giving us Glimpses covers some of the ways we “see” God revealed to us in both the book of nature and the book of salvation history – but salvation history within the horizons of our own times and lives. In being drawn towards all that is good, true, right and beautiful we are intuiting the difference between our true self and false self. It’s all part of the journey into reality. Maximum number of participants 30 persons. Registration closes on 1 July 2019
