YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED ON A MYTHIC JOURNEY!
We engage with the timeless wisdom of one of the greatest poems of all time, The Divine Comedy from 14th century Italian poet Dante Alighieri, read as a map of the soul’s journey home to God, and as an access point to the perennial tradition of world contemplatives, in this mini course based on the acclaimed book Dante’s Road: The Journey Home For The Modern Soul.
REORIENTATE YOURSELF
The major spiritual traditions provide a means of being entire and vibrant. How is it that so many of our lives fall short of this ideal?
What if there existed a map that showed the path to completeness, freedom, and vigor, a blueprint of the soul’s trip home?
Marc Thomas Shaw, author and instructor, deciphers the pattern hidden in the major myths and legends, from Homer’s Odyssey to Dante’s Inferno, as a map of the soul’s journey home.
This is a journey that everyone of us is called to take at critical junctures in our lives. When we take a step back and realize that the way we’ve been living is no longer functioning.
Something has to give.
This book of practical knowledge for total reorientation relies on classic myths and legends, as well as the teachings of global mystics.
Take a voyage of introspection and personal development with the great characters of the past as guides.

WHAT OTHERS THINK OF DANTE’S ROAD:
We’re at a loss. We’re attempting to return home. Marc Thomas Shaw brilliantly encapsulates the human condition with those words and then gathers a slew of wise counsellors—from mythology, pop culture, spiritual gurus, and his own life experiences—to accompany the reader on an inward journey toward the soul’s ultimate home.
Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life, by Kenneth McIntosh
Vulnerable, lonely, and dark—these are all qualities that define us at times.
It’s part of the human condition. I believe Marc is correct: we are lost and must endure some terrible heat to make our way home. This book was fantastic.
—Jon M. Sweeney, coauthor of Meister Eckhart’s Book of the Heart and author of Inventing Hell
Marc Shaw asks us to join him on a thrilling quest. Reading this essay provided me with fresh insights into how I, too, might accept the shadows of my particular woundedness as open doorways to become more completely alive.
—Bruce Epperly, author of over thirty spiritual works, including Become Fire! Interspiritual Pilgrims’ Guideposts
Marc Shaw’s book welcomes you on a fascinating downward adventure with insightful guidelines and techniques to aid you along the way. He provides several practical approaches to investigate the subjects. It is a book to be read slowly, since there is much room for change and discovery.
—Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, spirituality author of twelve books, including The Soul’s Slow Ripening: 12 Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred
With clear-eyed knowledge and an engaging manner, Marc Thomas Shaw is our Beatrice, guiding the pilgrim through the often difficult, strange, and beautiful journey of the spirit, continually reminding us that we are all just “trying to go home.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT OUR CLASSES:
“Many people regard Christian mystics as peripheral to Christianity as a whole. I am relieved that Clint Sabom and Marc Thomas Shaw of ContemplativeLight.com are not among them. Both consider Christian mystics to be vital to Christianity, particularly for twenty-first-century seekers seeking direct experiential experience. And they both have a personal interest in mystics. Their new course examines the lives of 20 Christian mystics and demonstrates their relevance to our spiritual journeys today. Strongly recommended!” ‘Be Still And Listen,’ by Dr. Amos Smith
“Thank you for exceeding my expectations. It’s a great summary that helps put the mystics in their historical perspective. I was impressed by the number of original sources you gave. The supplementary teaching on non-duality, healing, and Q&A are outstanding. Thank you so much!!!” Mary D. from Cleveland, Ohio
“I just finished listening to the course for the first time. Wow! It was fantastic! I’m listening again and like how seamlessly the supplementary content fits in.” Neil F. from Encinitas, California
