Matthew Fox
Say “yes” to life by embracing your inner mystic, prophet, and sacred calling to nurture and express the life-giving qualities of your humanity — compassion, wisdom, equality, and joy.
Awaken a deeper vision of your humanity through the mystical wisdom of Jesus and the transformative power of Christ consciousness.
It has often been said that we are the change we have been waiting for...
Matthew Fox, one of the foremost spiritual theologians and mystical scholars of our time, says awakening the mystic and prophet within us initiates us into this journey...
... as we become bearers of the sacred in a modern world, capable of living as our higher selves amid constant challenge, upheaval, and uncertainty.
Recovering our mystical sense is also crucial to our collective survival, including our beloved planet, which is literally burning from the self-serving decisions of those in power who seek to dominate vs. collaborate on a better and brighter future.
But not all is lost... There is a path for reclaiming the sacred and charting a new course toward a more equitable and conscientious world that begins with saying “yes” to the beauty, goodness, and pure potential that life offers us.
The profound mystical wisdom that Jesus and other mystics and prophets embodied and brought into the world — an experience that connects us with the Divine in the most intimate, personal way...
... and can help us revise our understanding of what constitutes life, including a deeper recognition of ourselves as the “Christs,” or agents of healing, creativity, and transformation, that we so desperately need.
Let this online event with Matthew be your gateway to a radical new beginning in the way you view mysticism, yourself, your faith, and your place in the world — and a buoyant reminder of the intuitive, creational essence that lies within and is waiting to be expressed.
Matthew will share lesser-known translations of the “Our Father” prayer, originally in Aramaic, that inspire a broader vision of the prayer’s call to embody Christ consciousness and a deeper vision of our human potential...
These translations unveil a more connected and intuitive understanding of the presence of God in our lives — a presence that lives through us.
The “Our Father” prayer, often reduced to a simple ritual, is a window into the mystical heart of creation that reveals what’s truly possible when we approach the Divine not through dogma, but through direct experience. You’ll also explore the science that attests to the benefits of cultivating the “mystical brain”...
... and how a new appreciation of our Biblical heritage surges when the right, or mystical brain, is recovered.
By revisiting the teachings of Jesus and other mystics who felt the urgency of life’s divine calling, Matthew will guide you into a more vibrant, joyful way of living, or “Christianity 2.0” as he calls it — one that chooses biophilia (the love of life and its higher virtues) over necrophilia (the love of death and the self-serving ways of man), and takes on the darkness of evil with courage, wisdom, and compassion.
If you’ve ever longed for a deeper connection to the Divine, a more embodied sense of your spiritual path, or a way to contribute to the healing and transformation of the world, this event is for you.
In this inspiring online event, you’ll explore:
- Why awakening the mystic and prophet within is a necessary step for individual and collective evolution — and how today’s science is zeroing in on the benefits of the intuitive or mystical brain
- Aramaic translations of the “Our Father” prayer that beckon us to embody the intuitive essence of Christ consciousness — and contemplate the mystical grasp of these sources by comparing translations and commentaries on mystics vs. the rational — and insights from Howard Thurman on the ways Jesus has been understood through the ages
- How our understanding of Jesus and other mystics has often been distorted by an excessive emphasis put on the left brain (including dogma) at the expense of the right brain (mysticism)
- How a whole new breakthrough can occur when we re-translate the words of Jesus from his original indigenous language (Aramaic)
- How to bring joy and a sense of belonging to a dynamic cosmos of ongoing creation — and to our view of the world and ourselves
Matthew teaches that we are being called now as mystics and prophets to stand against the forces of ignorance, domination, and darkness that seek to stifle the beauty, diversity, truth, and everyday miracles of life.
But as Thomas Aquinas beautifully put it, “Zeal comes from an intense experience of the beauty of things.”
This event with Matthew is your invitation to awaken that zeal, that passion — to live fully in the light of your highest calling.
In joining us, you’ll also be among the first to learn about Matthew’s new 6-month immersion program on how to embody the mystic and prophet within and bring this light into your everyday life through the wisdom and creativity of Jesus and other luminary mystics of the past and modern era.

What People Are Saying About Matthew Fox...
About Matthew Fox
EDIT
Matthew Fox is a prolific author of books dedicated to renewing the ancient tradition of Creation Spirituality, including Original Blessing... A Spirituality Named Compassion... and Christian Mystics. This earth-based mystical tradition is feminist, welcoming of the arts and artists, honors Indigenous wisdom, works with science, and is committed to interfaith approaches and eco, social, and gender justice.
Matthew’s effort to reawaken the West to its own mystical tradition has sparked awareness of Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Julian of Norwich, and the mysticism of Thomas Aquinas, as well as the wisdom tradition that nurtured Jesus. Matthew’s work helps reconnect science and spirituality by honoring the sacredness of the Cosmos, and interacting with contemporary scientists who are also mystics. He believes that “by reinventing work, education, and worship, we can bring about a nonviolent revolution on our planet.”
Matthew received his doctorate summa cum laude in the history and theology of spiritualities from the Institut Catholique de Paris. A member of the Dominican Order for 34 years, he established an Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality that operated for seven years at Mundelein College in Chicago, and for 12 years at Holy Names University in Oakland.
He founded the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland in 1996 and was president and professor until 2005 when he left to create a pilot project to reinvent the educational experience for inner-city teenagers.
Matthew is a recipient of many awards, including the Gandhi King Ikeda Award from Morehouse College, which is awarded for dedication to peace, unity, nonviolence, and justice. He also received the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award —other recipients have included the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Academy for the Love of Learning in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
