SUMMARY:A Wisdom School on Wisdom Rhythms & Relationships with Heather Ruce
DESCRIPTION:Online and In-Person at Sorrento Centre\, British Columbia\, Canada. \nOctober 5th (5 pm) – October 9th (12 noon)\, 2025 (Pacific Time). \nIn any moment\, regardless of how significant or insignificant it may seem\, we can offer ourselves as instruments\, vessels\, means by which worlds beyond can enter into this world\, which has often been termed by several traditions ‘mixtus orbis.’ Wisdom teacher Cynthia Bourgeault often reminds us that this world’s dense conditions are not a mistake but a place where the rough material of our lives can be mixed with spiritual substances and nutrients from beyond and in so doing\, something essential is created. \nThere is much to glean from the Wisdom lineages in every tradition\, including Christianity\, about waking up to a different reality and orienting our lives to something more than our everyday circumstances. In the case of the Christian Wisdom lineage\, we can place our gaze towards the world beyond—kingdom of heaven\, the imaginal realm—which is always in our midst when we have eyes to see and ears to hear. When we can attune ourselves to this dimension\, we can begin to draw from an endless wellspring and be of service to God in our day to day lives and relationships. Drawing on the work of Cynthia Bourgeault\, G.I. Gurdjieff\, and others\, this Wisdom School will focus on listening for the Wisdom rhythms that deepen presence in our three centres – intellectual\, emotional\, body – in order that we can perceive and act in accordance with the higher laws of the kingdom of heaven in cosmic servanthood and in particular in conscious relationships. \nJoin us in person or online at the Sorrento Centre. There will be an invitation to a ‘Wisdom way of knowing’ through a daily rhythm with periods of silence\, centring prayer\, teaching\, conscious conversation\, Gurdjieff Exercises and Movements\, chanting\, mindful work\, lectio divina\, and contemplative reflective time. \nOn-site participants must register for both:\n1) flexible and affordable accommodation and meal plans at Sorrento Centre\, and\n2) the program taught by Heather Ruce as organised by TCS. \nCosts vary depending on the in-person or online choices. \nOffered by Heather Ruce. \nPlease see the link below to register.
