This Wisdom School is intended as an introduction to a daily rhythm that supports the flowering of heart perceptivity and stabilization at this level of consciousness both individually and collectively so that different outcomes are possible for ourselves and the world.
While this residential Wisdom School is specifically designed for those new to this format of integral learning and practice, it may also serve to refresh and enrich the practice of those who’ve attended Wisdom Schools or similar kinds of retreats in the past.
This Wisdom School will be held in the beautiful sanctuary of Waihōanga River Lodge and Retreat, which sits alongside the Otaki river. Waihōanga provides comfortable accommodation, spaces that support our daily rhythm, and ease of access to the river and surrounding natural life. Attendees will enjoy delicious vegetarian meals prepared by a local caterer.
The starting time of 2:00pm on Saturday is intended to allow for travel time to Waihōanga and a period of settling in before we begin at 3:30pm. We’ll conclude on Wednesday with a shared lunch, the 2:00pm finishing time intended to allow ample time for return travel.
Each day of the school, we’ll move rhythmically between meditation, prayer, conscious movement, intellectual engagement, devotional remembrance, rest, and receptive silence to raise the level of our being so we’re more able to directly sense the Living Presence of Spirit and act in the light of this Love and Peace.
The four-day duration of the School provides enough time for us to experience what comes of this daily rhythmical practice, deepening our understanding of how this daily rhythm supports synergistic transformation and the flowering of heart-centred awareness, raising our level of being. We’ll also devote particular attention to the human-divine exchange that this heart-centred awareness makes possible ~ the Wisdom way of being.
