There is a mysticism that didn’t come from deserts or abbeys.
It came from slave ships. From songs without instruments. From the hush between generations.
It lives in the moan, the shout, the circle of prayer, the wisdom of ancestors who survived and sang anyway.
This is the mysticism of the African diaspora. And it holds medicine for our fractured world.
On Saturday, Aug. 2, you’re invited to join spiritual teacher Felicia Murrell as she opens the door to the spirituality of Dr. Barbara Holmes, a beloved scholar of mysticism who passed last year.
Her core message?
That mysticism is not the privilege of the few, but the birthright of the oppressed—where the sacred is communal, embodied, and deeply rooted in Black experience.
If you’ve been aching for a path that speaks to real bodies in real pain, this is a class that tells the truth: the margins are often where God shows up first.

Presented by Felicia Murrell
Felicia Murrell is a spiritual director and the author of AND: The Restorative Power of Love In An Either/Or World. With over 20 years of church leadership experience, her writing has been featured multiple times in the Center for Action and Contemplation’s Daily Meditations and their biannual journal ONEING.
As a contemplative thought leader, Felicia has spoken at the Black Contemplative Prayer Summit and other widely recognized organizations.
She believes Love is the source of our authentic power and that a love ethos can be embodied as a way of being in the world. For Felicia, the Way of Love (agape) is to consciously participate with the Divine in how we live, move and have our being. Mother to 4 adult children, she makes her home in Woodbury, MN with her husband, Doug.Â
