SOLARS CENTRE offers lectures and training courses to discover and deepen the mystical heritage of Christianity in dialogue with other spiritual paths, the sciences and the arts.
It is based on the conviction that rigorous, open and nuanced reflection is necessary to grow in our inner and religious experiences. It responds as much to the personal desire to drink from the Source as to that of reflecting on the foundations of a new way of living together.
It is an independent, non-proselytizing training and research Center, open to anyone aspiring to a fulfilled life, which intends to revive a theology of wisdom, attentive to both theory and experience, reason and intuition, doctrine and self-knowledge.

Our logo combines two Latin words, SOL (sun) and ARS (art). The Arts of the Sun symbolically designate the paths and practices oriented towards the Ultimate, by whatever name it may be called, the All Other, God or Universal Consciousness. It represents the conviction that access to the divine presence, illustrated by the flame, requires a particular, limited and reformable structure.

Fabrice BLÉE, PhD, is a professor of theology (curriculum vitae). He founded SOLARS CENTRE because he noticed a lack of reference points among people wishing to experience deep spirituality and reappropriate the contemplative roots of Christianity, often through so-called Eastern spiritualities or psychotherapeutic practices.
There are few places of training where the experience of the divine is as welcome as the effort of methodical reflection. If purely theoretical discourse is not enough to awaken to spiritual realities, experience alone can lead to a dead end; it needs a solid, enlightened conceptual framework to grow and open up to greater freedom. SOLARS CENTRE responds to this need by creating a research community based on two axes: contemplation and hospitality.
Contemplation refers to the experience of God's transforming presence, and the ability to allow oneself to be moved by that presence in complete trust. Hospitality is the act of welcoming others in their differences, freely and respectfully, without denying oneself; it lies at the heart of all constructive dialogue. Contemplation and hospitality go hand in hand.
To facilitate your participation in our conferences and online seminars, we do not charge registration fees. However, we do appeal to your generosity to help us make our activities accessible to as many people as possible.
