tied together
in a coherent and progressive series of steps
graded for practical and immediate use in Recovery from
Mental Health and Substance Abuse symptoms.
The core of our work is based in the use of breath, lifeforce and mind
In the parallel systems of Kriya Yoga and Alchemy as Taught in the Rosicrucian and Hermetic Systems.
Our use of Art History and Art as a visual approach to teaching grounds the teachings in a culturally diverse and immediately accessible matrix of understanding.
Since our first series of fifty lectures given in 1986, sponsored by the Lumen Foundation and Gnosis Magazine, we have continued to explore the worlds of self discovery and the discovery of the Universe with the hope of providing a scientific platform of understanding and creativity.
