Wisdom School

Cultivating heart-centered awareness

Wisdom schools are formats for integral learning and practice that support our transformation toward living in Presence and embodying Wisdom. Through a balanced daily rhythm of prayer and meditation, spiritual teaching, conscious physical embodiment, and silence, Wisdom is nourished and stabilized in us.

Wisdom schools meet our longing for authentic spiritual formation by offering a vibrant combination of time-honoured teaching and practice, current visionary insight, and practical skills for living.

They support us in raising the level of our being so we’re able to cultivate heart-centred awareness and entrain with Divine Presence, being Wisdom in the world to meet the need of the world.

From time immemorial, wisdom schools have constellated at times of great spiritual and cultural transition as crucibles of transformation. Now is one of those times.

Introductory Wisdom School: The Way of the Heart

2:00pm October 18 ~ 2:00pm October 22, 2025 Waihōanga River Lodge & Retreat, Ōtaki

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.  

Each day of the school, we’ll move rhythmically between meditation, prayer, conscious movement, intellectual engagement, devotional remembrance 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.

We’ll deepen our understanding of how this daily rhythm supports synergistic transformation and the flowering of heart-centred awareness through learning and practice, and we’ll devote particular attention to the human-divine exchange that this heart-centred awareness makes possible ~ the Wisdom way of being.
