Join Mystics & Prophets

Do you have what you need to stay grounded this year?
We invite you to join 500+ other big-hearted students–each seeking to bring the fire of divine love into a world aching with grief.
In this new course, you'll meet 12 mystics and prophets who show us how to face the chaos–and allow it to draw us out of ourselves and into communion with those around us.


"Wonderful, deep, transformational."

In a world that feels overwhelming, how do we stay open-hearted without breaking?
The poet and mystic Rainer Maria Rilke is known for inviting us to “live the questions.” When in doubt, he says, the answer is vulnerability–staying connected to the suffering of those around us.
But having a sensitive heart can feel like a liability in times like these. How do we navigate this tumultuous world and keep our fragile hearts intact?
👉 Join us this Saturday, April 5th, to discover Rilke's lessons for navigating the world with a sensitive heart. 👈
Rilke did not shield himself from the intensity of reality. He knew what it meant to watch a culture be torn apart before his very eyes, while Europe succumbed to violence.
And yet equally, he knew what it meant to revel in beauty wherever it is found, from the bright scent of an orange to the ancient shadows of a bell tower.
This Saturday, we invite you to steep in Rilke’s wisdom. In this one-time masterclass, you will:
- Find refuge in the heart of a vulnerable God
- Reclaim your deep connection to the Earth and its wholeness.
- Meet a God who is always changing and becoming–and uncover the role we all have in bringing God into being!
- Discover how embracing uncertainty can deepen your intimacy with God
If you've been longing for a spiritual touchstone through the tumult of the modern world, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
