As you consider your end of year giving, we offer you some fresh impressions from our recent journey working through the new Introductory Wisdom School in cohort groups which just ended in early December. Our leaders gathered to reflect on the fruits of this experiment and some clear themes emerged which will guide our Wisdom Waypoints efforts in the coming year.
- There is a hunger and readiness to pursue this Wisdom Path together, in a collective Web.
- While we might begin a group gathering with an individual need or spiritual longing, we often leave being transformed in service of the whole, embodying a three centered presence that ripens us to hold our post in the world.
- A project like this is a birthing. It entailed a gathering and filming of a Wisdom School in May, making it into a course with robust resources, then facilitating a guided learning experience in the fall. And we see the elements of any creation: desire, conception, preparation, nourishment, growth and many kinds of labor. The new arising goes beyond our imagination and feeds new living water into the ancient river of Wisdom flowing through our world.
As we look at what this collective web can do and how we are bolstered when we come together—we are in Awe. Our Wisdom Waypoints Board has hopes, dreams, and new ideas for resourcing our community and strengthening our Web as we walk this Wisdom Way together in 2026. It takes many hands and hearts. We are grateful for your gifts that sustain us in our work together.
Christmas and New Years Blessings, The Wisdom Waypoints Board
