Three Centered Presence & Transformation of Consciousness

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

Sunday – Thursday, 5pm of September 08 – 12 noon of September 12, 2024
at Sorrento Retreat and Conference Centre

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.

This event is presented by The Contemplative Society, and will be held 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.
