2023 - Wisdom Waypoints

Wisdom Solstice

Marcella Kraybill-Greggo | December 21, 2023

We stand guard with the heart, stand with the mind in the heart, descend from the head to the heart…And the standing before the invisible Lord not in the head but in the chest, close to the heart and in the heart. When the divine warmth comes, all will be clear.

A Wisdom Frame Drum Journey Evolution

Laura Copeland | December 7, 2023

As Wisdom students using our voices through chanting, we are sending into our atmosphere vital nutrients of hope, mercy, love and more. Frame drumming magnifies the resonance of our voices in addition to the beat, another powerful means of post-holding during these challenging times.

A Tree Party

Marcella Kraybill-Greggo | November 20, 2023

I am in awe of earth’s majesty, intense dazzling vibrations. It’s earth’s party, a TREE PARTY, in gratitude for yet another YEAR OF LIFE – the gifts, all the gifts, that this year of foliage have brought – such richness, abundance of harvest and delight. And then…it’s time for them to rest; to exhale, release and let go.

Living from Good: Hearing the Voices of Yeshua and Maurice Nicoll, Part 3

Bill Britten | November 17, 2023

In this third part of the series, we’ll continue putting together the building blocks discussed previously: the horizontal realm of personality, knowledge, and the forces of life; the vertical inner realm of Being, Essence, and Good; and the relational field that comes into play as we work to raise our level of Being on the vertical scale.

Heather Ruce | November 2, 2023

Living from Good: Hearing the Voices of Yeshua and Maurice Nicoll, Part 2

Bill Britten | November 1, 2023

Before moving forward, I’d like to pause and summarize what was covered previously. We have been talking about two sides of a human being. On the one side, which we call the outer person, are the familiar concepts of knowledge, truth, personality, ego, the horizontal timeline of life, often referred to as World 48. On the inner side of a human being we have Good, Essence (also called true self), higher realms, World 24, what Jesus/Yeshua refers to as the Kingdom.

Day II: All Saints’ / All Hallow’s Day

Heather Ruce | November 1, 2023

Day I: All Saints’ Eve / Halloween

Heather Ruce | October 31, 2023

Collective Autumn Triduum Vigil: It is the first day of the Autumn Triduum, October 31st, All Saints’ Eve or Halloween. As we join with one another in vigil across this passage way from death to life, it is important to recognize the main overarching theme of this type of passage which is, in the words of Cynthia Bourgeault, to taste that in ourselves which already lies beyond death in order that we might begin to live from that place now.
