Paula Hirschboeck will be presenting Being Turned by Mystery at Sinsinawa Mound from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 23.

Two 13th century religious teachers, the Dominican Meister Eckhart and the Zen Master Eihei Dogen, use the circle as a symbol of ever expanding love and wisdom. We will discover each phase of the circle’s moving energy through presentation on their teachings, mediation and dialogue.
