Cynthia Bourgeault will lead a retreat on The Christian Path of Wisdom, at Lia Gård retreat center, in the woods of Norway.

This teaching retreat is aimed at mature contemplatives of all spiritual pathways who are deeply concerned about the global crisis (cultural, ecological) imperiling our continued human existence on the planet and who wish to deepen their capacity to bring “skillful means” to the situation: forbearance, strength, compassion, right timing, spiritual generativity, and personal mettle.

Cynthia Bourgeault will be one of two presenting speakers at The Faith Practice Biennale in Oslo, Norway.

This will be the usual fall gathering of the core group that has been working together at Claymont for the past three years. The theme will be “The Care and Nurture of Second Body,” and the work will have its usual Gurdjieffian flavor, featuring conscious labor, intentional suffering, movements, Gurdjieff exercises, plus a deeper dive into the Building Kesdjan body.
