r/CatholicMysticism is a subreddit with 1k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests, and the community frequently discusses mysticism, god, prayer, uncreated energies, and spirituality.
A place to discuss Christian mysticism from a Catholic perspective. As abbot Nicholas Zachariadis put it, mysticism is essential to the New Evangelization. Without it, spiritual seekers are left with the impression that our ancient faith is shallow, when in reality Catholicism has a long (but sadly unknown) history of great mystics.
