Ancient Wisdom for Modern Seekers
We are a community of seekers, pilgrims, and spiritual friends who are committed to the path of radical transformation - the call to awaken from the sleep that normally passes for consciousness; to break free from chains of illusion, conditioning, habit and fear; and work to become what we were born to be - manifestations of the Divine Presence.
Our practice draws from the Inner Tradition as it has been practiced by mystics, monks, saints, and spiritual seekers throughout the centuries. The process of practical, patient
self-discovery, self-realization and self-transcendence is described in the opening verses of the Gospel of Thomas:
Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. [And after they have reigned they will rest.]"
This process involves classical techniques of watchfulness, discernment, and assimilation at a higher level - the solve et coagula described by the alchemists.
At the center of our communal practice is the Eucharist and the other Gnostic Sacraments - Baptism, Chrismation, Ordination, Marriage, Redemption, and the Bridal chamber.
If you are interested in learning more about us and perhaps joining us, you are welcome to visit one of our local circles or parishes or contact us with any questions.

- The Gospel of Philip
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
