The Creation Spiritual Tradition
Creation Spirituality has been revisited in our time by Matthew Fox. Matt published many books on various aspects of this tradition. We have worked with this tradition for many years, finding it uplifting and growthful for many people. It is based on the writings of Meister Eckhart, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian or Norwich and other Rhinland Mystics. That body of work is then unfolded with more contemporary works.
The breakthrough book by Matthew Fox is titled: Original Blessing, first published by Bear and Company.
The Creation Spiritual Tradition, as proposed by Dr. Fox, has four interweaving paths:
I - Via Positiva: reflecting on Creation as Blessing
II -Via Negativa: reflecting on the process of Letting Go
III - Via Creativa: reflecting on the process of Creativity
IV - Via Transfomativa: reflection on the process of Transformation which necessarily
includes Justice Making
