Seed of Life

"The divine mystery is like a vast ocean and we are but drops of water

seeking union with the whole."

-Paramahansa Yogananda

Seed of Life is a transformative two-year journey into the depths of Christian Mysticism and Western Esotericism.

Each circle includes experiential learning, mystical contemplation, and hands-on healing, allowing for both intellectual and practical engagement with the teachings.

This journey offers profound insights, helping you to unlock new spiritual understandings while deepening your relationship with yourself, others, and the Divine.

The Seed of Life Lessons offer a profound exploration into the core teachings of Christian mysticism and metaphysics, distilled from centuries of wisdom passed down from teacher to student. These lessons, like seeds planted in fertile ground, have the potential to spark profound transformations within those who study them. They guide students into a deeper understanding of the spiritual laws that govern both the seen and unseen worlds, opening the heart and mind to the alchemical processes that foster growth and enlightenment.

Aligned with the natural rhythms of the seasons, the Seed of Life Lessons mirror the cosmic energetic cycles that flow through all creation. Each lesson is timed to resonate with the unique spiritual opportunities that arise during these seasonal shifts, allowing students to connect more deeply with the patterns of the universe. By engaging with these timeless teachings, students are empowered to cultivate lasting spiritual wisdom and growth, attuning themselves to the sacred rhythms of life and the divine principles that shape their journey.

Bible Contemplation invites Christian mystics into a living relationship with the sacred text, particularly the New Testament, as a pathway to divine presence. Through this mystical framework, the Bible becomes more than just a collection of teachings—it unfolds as a guide into a deep love-relationship with God. Jesus' teachings offer a mystical journey that reveals a profound knowledge of self and an expansive love for God and all humankind.

Every other week, participants engage in a contemplative process, breaking down a specific Bible verse and reflecting on it in a deeply mystical way. This practice, while different from more traditional readings, opens the heart and mind to unexpected insights and revelations. It is a discipline that requires patience and practice, offering a rich, transformative way to experience the sacred text in a more intimate and unfolding relationship with the Divine.

Experiential Healing Practices within the Christian Mystical tradition offer a profound way to connect spiritually through the practice of 'blessing groups.' In these groups, participants take turns giving and receiving blessings or making healing requests, creating a sacred space where divine intentions flow freely. This deeply nourishing practice fosters a sense of connection, not only to the Divine but also to each other, allowing healing energies to move within the group.

Regularly engaging in blessing groups strengthens spiritual sensitivities, enhancing participants’ ability to perceive and respond to the subtle movements of the Spirit. This practice deepens unity within the group, offering a shared experience of healing and transformation that extends far beyond the individual, creating a ripple effect of blessings and spiritual growth.

Live Community Sessions with the Teachers

Once a month there is a Live Session with the teachers and other students of Journey Into Mystical Christianity. Most students find it powerful to learn that others are having similar struggles and hear the creative ways they are showing up for themselves amongst the chaos of their lives.

We can’t wait to connect and grow with you!
