The Joy of Wisdom, the Wisdom of Joy
October 19, 1985 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm PDT
Learning “how to suffer and not to suffer” is a profound challenge: to face pain by finding a place of strength within, finding an inner guide that will help us to transcend our suffering. Although often imaged as the “senex”, the Wise Old Man, the guide may appear in other forms.
This participatory seminar traces an almost forgotten archetype in the psyche, that of “Hagia Sophia”, Holy Wisdom. Rediscovering and redeeming her is not only to find a deep source of comfort, but is one of the most delightful tasks of the New Age.
