Our Mission
We are an Order of women and men devoted to the transmission of Oriental Light.
Contemplative Wisdom
Perennial Wisdom
All wisdom, from many traditions, ultimately comes form the Eternal Source which gives expression to them all—each in their own particular language of sacred symbol and articulation. As these streams enter time, they are passed along, being transmitted from person to person across the ages. We are each invited to personally experience a particular pathway which attracts and affirms our pilgrimage. Some are drawn to the path of Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth) whose own vision and mystical experience of Sophia Perennis (Perennial Wisdom) gave rise to multiple wisdom streams.
Contemplative Practice
Metamorphosis
Human beings are creatures in transition, on their way to metamorphic being and consciousness. This is an unfolding in the manner of a spiral where latent potentialities, embedded in the original design of humanity, emerge and unfold under the guidance of Spirit. The contemplative practices of Interiorized Monasticism are the ground and energy for this evolution of human being and consciousness.
Contemplative Community
Pilgrimage
Whether we are aware of it or not, we are each on pilgrimage, in a caravan of fellow pilgrims, moving across the landscape of space and time on a journey toward Eternity. This is called the Journey of Eternal Return. Although this journey has been described in the Abrahamic traditions as a movement across the fierce, desert landscapes of this world, a destiny of great possibility and beauty awaits us. In the meanwhile, we are being guided by the Light, Love and Guardianship of Heaven.
