A Simple Immediacy: Desert Wisdom for Advent 2023

Teachings from the Desert Fathers and Mothers on classic Advent themes, newly revised in 2023.

It is Advent and I am making bread, ingredients already at hand, one free mind, one open heart, one body, sensing.

In this groundbreaking teaching Cynthia Bourgeault draws on Jean Gebser’s Integral Evolutionary theory and practical exercises developed by G. I Gurdjieff to illuminate classic Advent themes. This offering includes over 15 hours of audio recordings as well as optional participation in four live, facilitated online sessions for group interactive discussion and practice.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears.

Rain down gently upon us, you heavens above and let the clouds weep justice
