GEMS II: The Wisdom Keepers – Spring
Utilizing written materials and interactive discussion, this class unveils the realms of imagination, intuition, love, detachment, and healing, guiding you to develop a greater understanding of the Western Spiritual Traditions to enhance your personal spiritual practice. This year’s curriculum continues to explore the three tiers of this path of transformation: De-habituating (purification), Intuition (illumination) and Love (Union of Will, feelings and thoughts with the Divine). Each week, a group imagery exercise tailored to supplement the concepts explored in each session’s readings will be included.
Readings this year include selections from:
- Dr. Epstein’s unpublished We Are Not Meant to Die!
- The Gospel of Thomas (Assorted Sources)
- The Life & Teachings of Russel Williams
- Annick de Souzenelle’s The Body & Its Symbolism
- Additional texts based on student interests
All reading materials will be distributed to students at the beginning of the course.
