A stable, grounded space of belonging and vulnerability among men of all ages to learn and practice the work of Inner Christianity. A training field where men can say “I don’t know” and “I need help” without being judged. Challenging conditions within which to face our automated patterns that keep us “asleep” in life, and approaches toward the experience of real Being— the peace, demand, and nourishment available from that which is Higher than ourselves.
We are at Claymont Court in West Virginia to Work Together, doing manual work, contemplative exercises, intentional movements, small group exchange, feasting, bon-firing, sauna, cold plunge, and other conditions to make your spirit stand up. Our inner work together is informed by the teachings of Cynthia Bourgeault, G.I. Gurdjieff, and, if we dare, Jesus Christ.
