At the 2026 annual conference of the Society of Friends of Christian Mysticism – “Aufmerksam und widerständig. Leben und Mystik Simone Weils (1909-1943)” -, Mae Bengert will speak on “Transmigration of the Soul into the Now: Simone Weil, Christian Mysticism, and Zen Buddhism.” Her contribution highlights one of the conference’s most compelling perspectives, bringing Simone Weil’s thought into dialogue with Christian mysticism and Zen. Under the theme Attentive and Resistant, the conference invites participants to engage Weil’s life and work through lectures, workshops, worship, and meditation from 1 to 3 May 2026 in Magdeburg.
