The Urban Mystic worksop is a place where we discover the depths of our own innate sense of spirituality. Whether you come from a place of deep devotion to a particular faith, or from a general ground of spiritual understanding, this workshop is designed to help you navigate and shape the contours of your faith. Using guides from various traditions, disciplines and times we nurture and develop our own particular path. Join us the third Sunday of every month, January through November, in San Francisco.
