SUMMARY:Wisdom School Retreat: Invitation to a Wisdom Way of Knowing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rhythm of practice\, learning\, and integration in togetherness and solitude. \nThe Wisdom stream is at the contemplative headwaters of every religious tradition including Christianity. Wisdom takes many shapes and forms and is more concerned with the transformation of the human being than on a set of right beliefs. The Christian Wisdom lineage is about learning to listen to the Divine within and see that we are deeply interconnected in a larger whole of which we are meant to responsibly take part in. This kind of listening and seeing requires that we include our three centers of knowing—mind\, feeling\, and body—in the spiritual organ of the heart which sees from wholeness and oneness. \nJoin us for a Wisdom School for beginners on the path and experienced practitioners\, designed to bring a rhythm of practice\, learning\, and integration in togetherness and solitude in order to invite a ‘wisdom way of knowing.’ With periods of teaching\, Centering Prayer\, chanting\, embodiment practices\, lectio divina\, contemplative sharing and free time\, this Wisdom School will explore the core tenets of the Christian Wisdom Tradition through the lineage of Cynthia Bourgeault. We will focus on the Wisdom tradition as the Way of the Heart\, the organ of spiritual perceptivity\, and dive deeply into the three centers of intelligence (mind/intellectual\, feeling/emotional\, body/sensation-al) which comprise it. Wisdom Schools prepare us to live more consciously and to show up in the world holding our post as planetary servants. \nRetreat Schedule (please note that schedule is subject to change) \nFirst evening: \n7:00-8:30 pm Opening Evening \nDaily schedule: \n* Breakfast on your own \n9:00 am Chanting and Centering Prayer \n9:30 am Break \n9:45 am Morning Session \n11:15 am Break \n11:30 am Embodiment Practice/Movement\, or Conscious Work \n12:00 pm Lunch (talking optional) followed by contemplative free time \n2:00 pm Chanting and Centering Prayer \n2:30 pm Break \n2:45 pm Afternoon Session \n4:15 pm Break \n4:30 pm Contemplative Practice \n5:45 pm Dinner (talking optional) \n7:00-8:30 pm Evening session – reflection\, discussion\, synthesis of day’s work\, ending with chanting and centering prayer \nLast day: \n* Breakfast on your own \n9:00 am Chanting and Centering Prayer \n9:45 am Final Teaching \n11:00 Closing Circle \n12:00 End & Departure \nRetreat Facilitator: Heather Ruce\n\nHeather facilitates Wisdom practice circles\, groups\, retreats\, and Wisdom schools.
