Three-Centered Presence and Transformation of Consciousness: A Wisdom School with Heather Ruce

“From time immemorial Wisdom Schools have emerged in times of global crisis or on the cusp of great leaps in human consciousness in order to help shepherd our planet through the transition. While there is academic teaching that goes on here, that is not the primary business of a Wisdom school; the primary business is to help anchor human wholeness and to work with the core practices that sustain the transformation of consciousness.”
— Wisdom Waypoints

We are indeed in a time of global crisis and amidst a shift in our current structures of consciousness. Drawing on the work of Cynthia Bourgeault, G.I. Gurdjieff, Gebser, and others, this Wisdom School led by Heather Ruce will focus on deepening presence in our three centers – intellectual, emotional, body – and how awakening in them can support us in the transformation of consciousness. We will also explore the practices of self-observation, self-remembering, conscious labor, and intentional suffering as a way of participating in what is needed for the whole right now.

Please join us in person at the Sorrento Retreat & Conference Centre in the beautiful Shuswap region of British Columbia, Canada. A ZOOM option will also be available for those who prefer on-line attendance. All participants will be invited to deepen your experience of the ‘wisdom way of knowing’ through a daily rhythm with periods of silence, Centering Prayer, teaching, conscious conversation, Gurdjieff exercises and Movements, chanting, mindful work, lectio divina, and contemplative free time.
