THE PRACTICAL MYSTIC

Once a month on a Tuesday evening we examine one concept from the mystical traditions. Where it came from, what it does, and how to work with it in everyday life. You’ll learn about the topic from the perspective of the sages and the mystics throughout history and discover some ways each can help illuminate the possibilities in your life.

Cost: $25 (Included in all Class Passes) · First Tuesdays · 6:30 – 8:00pm

JUNE 3: Time

The mystical traditions have always understood time differently than the clock on your phone does. Cyclical rather than linear. Layered. Alive in a way that means certain moments carry more weight than others and certain windows are genuinely better for certain things. This month we work with that understanding practically, how to read where you are in a cycle, how to work with timing rather than against it, and what changes when you start relating to time as something you're in conversation with rather than something running out.

JULY 1: Threshold Spaces

Doorways, crossroads, the space between sleeping and waking, the moment before a decision lands. Every tradition that has ever existed has had specific practices for the in-between places because something is available there that isn't available anywhere else. This month we work with what that is and how to use it, how to recognize a threshold when you're standing in one and what to do with the particular kind of clarity that tends to show up there.

AUGUST 5: Dreamwork

You've been having dreams your whole life. This month we do something with them. We work with dream incubation, how to ask a question before you sleep and set up the conditions to receive something back, and how to build a personal symbol vocabulary from your own dream history. Bring a dream if you have one you've been sitting with.
