Antoinette Bourignon (1616-1680)

­­­­­­­

Antoinette Bourignon (1616-1680) was a Flemish mystic and writer who believed in the importance of inner spiritual transformation. Born into a Catholic family, she struggled with devoutness and felt called to a spiritual life. She began experiencing mystical visions when she was just nine years old, which influenced her writings and beliefs. 

Bourignon was opposed to the established churches of her time and believed in a form of Christianity that was based on love and spiritual purity rather than outward rituals and dogma. She founded a spiritual community where she preached and wrote extensively.
