The Parousia
School for Awakening
Wisdom Awakening
"Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?"
The Parousia School for Awakening responds to T.S. Eliot's query by forming a learning community of mature wisdom-seekers who study humanity's most sagacious wisdom traditions, internalize their principles, and apply their insights in everyday life through practical exercises and experiments-in-being.
OFFERINGS
ADULT SPIRITUAL FORMATION (ASF): MINDFULNESS, MEANING, AND WISDOM
October - December 2022
In Jane's Hall (Sutter Creek, CA) or online
Questianity is parareligion that can be practiced by anyone of any religion, or no religion. Questianity is a philosophical approach to opening all of life's biggest and most pressing questions into a more holistic and relevant field of inquiry.
The practice of Questianity begins with grounding oneself in the soul through an ecology of practices that elicit wisdom and insight from the community of practitioners. By practically engaging a suite of exercises and activities that generate the conditions for the emergence of mindfulness and meaning, we learn to become more sensitive and effective servants of the community at large.
FROM CHRISTENDOM TO THE CHRISTWAY:
UNLOCKING THE WISDOM OF INTEGRAL CHRISTIANITY
Biweekly Sundays
October - December, 2022
In Jane's Hall (Sutter Creek, CA) or online
In these ecologies of learning and practice, we take a deep dive into the scriptures, theology, liturgy, art, spirituality, and cultural traditions of the Christian church at large (Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant) in order to defamiliarize our entrenched views of the Christianity we thought we knew, and then to re-familiarize ourselves, by the power of the Holy Spirit, with the true and authentic Jesus, as well as the Christway that he introduced into the world to transform the human soul.
The purpose of this mindful re-examination of the world's most popular faith will be to reframe 2,000 years of misunderstanding, misappropriation, and misapplication of Christ's teachings on ethics, metaphysics, and eschatology.
INTEGRAL ISRAEL:
MESSIANIC KABBALAH
Saturday mornings
October - December, 2022
9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
In Jane's Hall (Sutter Creek, CA) or online
The Jews and Judaism have made a proportionally greater impact on humanity than any other people or worldview on Earth. The Hebrew Bible itself has generated the world's two most popular religions, and has influenced Jewish thinkers, scientists, and influencers to dominate the intellectual, cultural, and social history of western civilization.
In Integral Israel, we learn how deconstruct the exclusivist religious ideology of Judaism, and then reconstruct it into the universally relevant symbolurgy of "Judeanity" a holistic and integral wisdom path for people of any race, any culture, and any religion.
