Martin Buber (1878-1965) was a prolific Jewish thinker, best known perhaps for his short treatise “I and Thou” (1923).  Buber writes in a powerful, personal language that is very different from the therapy-informed style of many contemporary teachers. His teaching is highly relevant to meditators today, implicitly cautioning us against reflecting our spiritual experience exclusively in psychological terms, because once we do that we risk losing sight of the Other we can never know fully. Josie von Zitzewitz will lead an exploration of how Buber can help us rediscover our awe before God and, by extension, before every person we encounter.

Josie von Zitzewitz has been meditating for over 20 years and regularly gives retreats. She is an oblate of the World Community of Christian Mediation.
