Encounters with Christian Healers,
Mystics, and Sages Manifesting the Plan

For the last twenty five years Kyriacos C. Markides has been exploring as a participant observer the lives and teachings of Christian mystics, healers and charismatic monks and hermits. In this lecture he will discuss his experiences with these extraordinary human beings and will show us that there is a clearly identifiable experiential mystical tradition within Christianity that has been practiced for hundreds of years and yet is little known to Western seekers.

Kyriacos C. Markides, born and raised on the island of Cyprus, has written six books on contemporary Christian mystics and healers such as The Magus of Strovolos and The Mountain of Silence. His latest work, Gifts of the Desert , is forthcoming by Doubleday. Professor Markides has lectured widely throughout the United States and in other countries and his books are translated into nine other languages. He has been teaching sociology at the University of Maine since the early seventies and lives with his wife Emily J. Markides in Stillwater, Maine.
