“…as the heart comes alive as an organ of spiritual perception, we are able to perceive the invisible kingdom of love that surrounds us – and live it into being.”

– Cynthia Bourgeault

Welcome to

We are an inclusive non-profit society that encourages a deepening of contemplative practice based in the Christian Wisdom lineage, while also welcoming and being supportive of other spiritual traditions. We are based in Victoria, BC, Canada where our work is conducted by a voluntary Board of Directors and a part-time Administrator.

We offer resources, recordings, and events led by our founding teacher Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault and other distinguished Wisdom teachers and leaders. We operate as part of a global Wisdom-focused network with a world-wide membership and following.

On this website you will find instructional and inspirational materials, supportive of the contemplative life.
