About Numinousme
Numinousme unites the "numinous" and the "me" to affirm a simple truth: the sacred lives here - in your direct experience. Our approach is personal and inclusive, grounded in practical, guided practices that nurture presence and compassion.
History and Meaning
The word “numinous” traces back to the Latin numen, meaning a divine presence or nod of the sacred. It points to those unmistakable moments of awe, reverence, and mystery that feel both intimate and beyond words.
In the early 20th century, scholar Rudolf Otto popularized the term in The Idea of the Holy, describing the numinous as the mysterium tremendum et fascinans—a simultaneous sense of profound mystery, holy otherness, and irresistible attraction.
Across spiritual traditions, the numinous appears in many forms—silence in meditation, wonder before nature, the warmth of compassion, or a sudden clarity of insight. Today, it continues to offer a timeless doorway to meaning in a modern world.
