SOLARS EXPERIENCE is an independent platform which initiates to the Christian contemplative way in dialogue with other spiritualities, the arts and sciences, so as to respond to the desire to drink from the Source and to lay the foundations for a new living together.
This center for contemplation and dialogue was born in 2016 with the release of the film about the Benedictine monk Henri Le Saux (Swami Abhishiktananda), Dawn of the Abyss. The Spiritual Birth of Swamiji (Solars Productions).
Fabrice BLÉE, professor of theology, founded this center because he saw the lack of reference points in people wishing to live a deep spirituality, anchored in the silence of the heart, as well as the need to recapture the contemplative roots of Christianity in resonance with the mystical heritage of humanity. Rooting and welcoming are inseparable.
Hence the idea of the "hospitable Christian" both available to the action of divine power in themself and open to the stranger, to other ways of praying.

Contemplation is living from the Source in all awareness and from its transforming presence in all confidence. Dialogue is to welcome the other with his difference in the recognition of a primordial unity with a view to mutual understanding.
Our training courses and activities are designed to release the inner mystery within oneself and transform the impasse into a passage, and this, in an alliance between theory and experience, reason and intuition, method and spontaneity, intellectual rigor and artistic intelligence.
They are an opportunity to learn, in a spirit of openness and without proselytism, an approach to Catholic (universal) theology at the service of an embodied spirituality accessible to all.

The word SOLARS is the combination of two Latin words, Sol (sun) and Ars (art): the way, the practice oriented towards what is ultimate, beyond, pure love, pure consciousness, pure grace.
