Spirit Matters: Wisdom Traditions and the "Great Work"
May 13th - 16th, 2004,
Toronto, Canada

 

"To partake of the wisdom traditions we need to explore possibilities across parochial boundaries and to appreciate core spiritual insights independently of the institutional religions that may have grown up around them. If we can cross dividing lines and seek honestly and openly, the wisdom traditions illuminate central issues of our time."
