Details
Priest, philosopher, and theologian Pablo d’Ors believes that spirituality and meditation are spaces that nourish us, allowing us to discover meaning and free our perspective from the pressures of daily life, revealing a new sense of beauty in the world around us. Rather than a purely reflective process, it is an invitation to journey inward.
Founder of the meditation network Friends of the Desert, d’Ors combines his pastoral work with a prolific literary career focused on spirituality, including works such as Biography of Silence. He will be in conversation with writer, literary and film critic, and cultural manager Fernando Rodríguez Lafuente.
At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of his books.
Event in Spanish.
