What is a Wisdom Waypoint?
A waypoint is a specific location en route to your destination, allowing you to check your position, mark your progress, and stay on course as you journey forward. Imagine our globe encircled by a network of wisdom waypoints keeping the ship on course as our planet journeys along its imaginal trajectory.

Our Annual 2023 Fundraiser
We are at a major planetary tipping point—culturally, intellectually, politically, and ecologically. The founding vision of Wisdom Waypoints was simple: meld contemplative prayer, the rich Benedictine tradition, and the Gurdjieffian fragrance of mindfulness and conscious presence to create a powerful new vessel for nurturing conscious, thoughtful, prayerful human beings who can act with agency, rootedness, and compassionate impartiality.
Our theme this year—uniting my teaching and our annual fundraising appeal, is “Finding Our Feet, Holding Our Planet.” I write to you in great gratitude for your support in former years that has helped birth this newwineskin, and for your continued support that we can keep this wondrous wine flowing!
Meet Cynthia Bourgeault
Cynthia Bourgeault is a modern-day mystic, Episcopal priest, writer, and internationally known retreat leader.

Cynthia is a core faculty emeritus at the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has been honored by the annual Watkins Review as one of the 100 most spiritually influential living people in 2021.
Communications Director
Wisdom Waypoints is ready to hire a Communications Director to work closely with the Board as we continue to grow in our mission to transmit the Wisdom lineage as taught by Cynthia Bourgeault.

What is Wisdom?
Wisdom is not a religion or a doctrine, but a way of knowing. It is not knowing more, but knowing deeper, knowing with more of yourself. It is at the root of all sacred traditions and can be recognized by compassionate intelligence and an alert, present-moment awareness.
We are here to support your journey!
