Gospel of Thomas: Lectio Divina | Fall 2025 Series
This fall, from September through December, Wisdom Waypoints is pleased to showcase a series of Gospel of Thomas Lectio Divina gatherings hosted by seasoned Wisdom facilitators within our network.
Why Lectio Divina? Lectio Divina is a foundational practice in one’s embodied, contemplative toolkit. Engaging this method offers a portal to a Wisdom way of reading, listening, and absorbing sacred text. Emphasis is placed on slowing down, listening with the heart, and allowing new meanings to wash over and inside us.
Why Gospel of Thomas? Diverging from the canonical gospels, the emphasis in Thomas is on conscious presence, awakening, and an imperative around transformation of consciousness. These short, koan-like texts are just familiar enough to be reassuring, yet just different enough to wake one up. Repeatedly, readers find that the way to break these texts open is not through scholarly commentary but to inquire: How does this resonate in my own life? What does this touch off for me? And specifically asking, where does this text land in me in sensation — in my heart, in my gut, perhaps a tingling in my hands?
Fall 2025 Gospel of Thomas Lectio Divina Offerings
The Gospel of Thomas Lectio Divina gatherings will vary slightly by facilitator but, in general, each session will begin with a preparatory exercise, such as a brief time of Centering Prayer or an embodied practice, before moving into the ritual of praying the text together. The guided sessions are typically $10 per meeting and will commence in September 2025.
We invite you to peruse the sessions available and reach out directly to the facilitators for questions and to RSVP.
