Introduction

Explore the Spirituality of the Oriental Orthodox Order in the West

Welcome to a six-session series of introduction and personal exploration.

Each session will give you an opportunity to learn a little more about the life, work, and teachings of the Oriental Orthodox Order in the West. This introductory series is relatively short, but at the end you will have a real sampling of three important aspects of contemplative life for wisdom seekers that are important to us in the Order:

  • Contemplative Wisdom (there are two samples of its teachings),

  • Contemplative Practice (there are two examples of experience and practice),

  • Contemplative Community (there are two ways of relating to community).

Session 1 - Bi-Axial Beings

Session 2 - The Six States of Wisdom

Session 3 - Chanted Prayer

Session 4 - The Practice of Visio Divina

Session 5 - Contemplative Prayer in Community

Session 6 - Cosmic Communities of Spirit and Networks of Sacred Tradition
