WISDOM + PRACTICE + COMMUNITY
Many find themselves engaged in an ever-deepening spiritual journey yet challenged to activate the agency of interior freedom that comes with years of spiritual practice. How does one harness the power of an awakened mind and heart into their everyday life and into the communities where they belong?
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
What is Wisdom in Practice?
Wisdom in Practice is an enriching curated online experience. Our two-year intensive program is designed for you to awaken to your longing to be an active spiritual participant in your world, and specifically the community you live in or feel called to.
With the guidance of spiritual directors who will serve as your cohort Wisdom Guides, transformational readings and guided spiritual practice you are invited to:
Learn from wisdom teachers, past and present, whose spirituality models active participation in the world.
Engage in supportive spiritual practices that have helped to form spiritual seekers into leaders and purveyors of agency and transformation.
Participate in Wisdom and Practice Circles where faith-sharing and discernment in small groups with your fellow cohort participants will nurture a greater awareness of your deep gladness and the world’s deepest hunger.”
Identify the community to whom you are called and be empowered to go and do the work wisdom is calling you to.
Upon completion, embrace a journey into the community you’ve identified and do the work wisdom has prepared for you, and the work your deepened spiritual practice has prepared you for within a supportive cohort of spiritual companions.
