Exploring the Timeless Path of Wisdom

This Sunday, we will into the rich world of mysticism and the Wisdom tradition—a timeless spiritual path that offers renewal, deeper understanding, and guidance in our overstressed and multi-faceted world. The Wisdom tradition invites us to bridge the divide between science and religion, encouraging unity and collaboration in a time of division. It challenges us to embrace our ecological responsibilities with a sense of sacred stewardship and respond to the deep human longing for meaning and coherence. It also opens space for harmonious dialogue and mutual respect among diverse faiths, grounded in our shared practices and universal insights of Wisdom across traditions and cultures. Together, let's explore how "Wisdom Vision" can empower us to navigate life's complexities and celebrate and find meaning through our interconnectedness.
