Thursday Discussion Group (formerly Mystic Christianity)
Details
### Thursday Evening Discussion Group
In-Person | Starts at 8:00 PM (Doors open at 7:30 PM) | Drop-In
Current material: The Yoga of the Christ by Murdo MacDonald-Bayne M.C., Ph.D., D.D. (sequel to Beyond the Himalayas)
This weekly discussion group offers a reflective and open space to explore themes of mysticism, spirituality, and inner transformation through selected writings and talks by Jiddu Krishnamurti, Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, and other thinkers whose work invites deep inquiry into consciousness, freedom, truth, and the nature of self-understanding.
Rather than promoting a particular belief system, the group emphasizes shared reading, thoughtful reflection, and respectful dialogue.
Participants are welcome to engage at their own pace—whether through listening, contemplation, or open discussion.
### About the Current Material
The Yoga of the Christ by Murdo MacDonald-Bayne (Military Cross, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Divinity) is the sequel to Beyond the Himalayas, in which MacDonald-Bayne recounts his encounters with spiritual Masters during his travels to Tibet. In this sequel, he brings those teachings to bear on the life and message of Christ — presenting Christ's teachings not as doctrine or theology, but as a living yoga: a path of inner union, direct experience, and conscious alignment with the Divine. Non-sectarian in spirit, the work treats Christ's wisdom as universally accessible to anyone sincerely seeking truth, regardless of background or tradition.

While there is no requirement to commit before attending, the intention is to gradually build a group of participants who are interested in returning regularly and engaging sincerely with the material and the group process. Newcomers are very welcome, and those who feel drawn to ongoing study are warmly encouraged to continue attending.
This is a drop-in group, and no prior background or preparation is required.
All are welcome. Come as you are, reflect together, and take part in a spirit of openness and mutual respect.
(Please note there is no WhatsApp communication system for this group, and no online or hybrid option at this time — this is an in-person group only.)
