OUR CORE SUBJECTS
PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY
(or PERENNIAL THEOLOGY)
Explore common areas of mystical transformation from many global belief systems (or, in the case of Judeo-Christian theology, its shared truths). We provide the relevant books (you can bring your own books too), writing materials, a wilderness solo cabin to focus on your studies, food, water, an on-site library, trails, beauty beyond measure.
You must accept a vow-of-silence for the weeks you attend, live in absolute solitude (except when you visit the on-site library [make coffee/tea and mingle with other students - talking is permitted in the library]).
MAINE ONLY (travel allowance is not included in your tuition)
INDIGENOUS PHILOSOPHY
Explore the common mystical traditions of selected Native Americans (north, central, and south) and other global aboriginal populations. We provide the relevant books in English or Spanish (you can bring your own books too), writing materials, a wilderness solo shelter to reflect on your studies, food, water, trails, and beauty beyond measure.
No vow-of-silence required for the weeks you attend. Service Learning (ecotherapy) add-ons are required to graduate: A trained Service Dog will be provided for you during your stay.
AZUA ONLY (travel allowance is not included in your tuition)
SACRED ETHICS
(and/or SACRED ATHEISM)
Learn to apply what you learn; service-learning constitutes the Sacred Ethics (including Sacred Atheism) of our school: Theism or Atheism are not required belief systems; our ethic applications will help you integrate your new knowledge to the world you live in.
These ethical models constitute the behavioral applications of our philosophies to a wounded world. Simply stated: While a traditional God may or may not exist, we can count on a universe of sacred meaning.
