March 6, 2021
9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (ET)
Rev. Matthew Wright

This day long retreat will explore the Christian Wisdom tradition, focusing on the Gospels of Thomas and Mary Magdalene. These Wisdom Gospels came to light in the mid-20th century and give us new insight into the development of early Christianity, the metaphysics undergirding Jesus' teaching, and the apostolic authority of Mary Magdalene.

Taken together, they offer us a coherent and luminous map of the journey from timelessness into time, and finally into conscious union--a journey that unfolds within what Jesus calls "the bridal chamber" of the human heart.  Come join us on the journey, as we spend time held within a contemplative rhythm of silent prayer, teaching and chanting. 

This program will be offered online via the Zoom platform. Information on how to access the program will be provided to participants in their registration confirmation email.

Offering: $65 - space is limited to 60 participants
