What is the Seminar on Carmelite Spirituality?


Since 1985 this seminar, held at Saint Mary's College and conducted by the Carmelite Forum, has explored various themes and texts from the Carmelite Tradition. Special attention has been given to the Carmelite Rule, the Institution of the First Monks and the life and texts of Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Titus Brandsma and Edith Stein, etc. Lectures and workshops offered through the years have been disseminated through tapes, articles and several books. As John Paul II has written, Carmel is "where prayer becomes life and life flourishes in prayer."
