This retreat was recorded live in September 2014 at Lake Cowichan, BC, Canada, and released in 2016. This purchase includes an MP3 audio download with a total running time of approximately 13 hours and 30 minutes. In this Wisdom School, Cynthia Bourgeault expands upon her book The Holy Trinity and the Law of Three, bringing to life the hidden (or forgotten) dimensions of Christianity’s central symbol. Drawing on G.I. Gurdjieff’s Laws of Three and Seven, she presents the Trinity as a dynamic principle of ongoing creation and reconciliation, not merely a theological abstraction. Cynthia shows how holding the tension of opposites until a “third force” arises offers a radically new way to engage conflict, foster creativity, and participate in divine evolution. Key themes include the Law of Three as applied to theology and daily life, the Law of Seven as a pattern of process, the Enneagram as a kinesthetic tool for understanding transformation, and Jacob Boehme’s mystical cosmology. Cynthia situates the Trinity within a larger vision of the universe as dynamic, relational, and infused with divine love. Participants are guided through teachings, practices, and even experiential work with the Enneagram to integrate these principles in both head and heart. As this is a LIVE recording you may notice some audio variability and background noise. Cynthia Bourgeault is a modern-day mystic, Episcopal priest, and internationally known retreat leader. She is the author of numerous books, including The Holy Trinity and the Law of Three and The Wisdom Jesus, and is recognized for her pioneering work in integrating the Christian contemplative path with other global streams of wisdom.
