The Sacred Space Conference

The New Monasticism movement is an interspiritual movement to deepen the spiritual life and align with the emergence of a new cosmology that meets the challenges and needs of modern humans. In this workshop, we will explore the history of monasticism, the birth of the New Monasticism Movement, and the crooked path of pagan monastic practice. Participants will engage in group prayer practice and explore examples of simple daily rituals to carry back out into their lives.

When the teaching is of a spiritual or metaphysical nature, the karmic and ethical considerations become more complicated and far-reaching. What are the ethical responsibilities and duties of a spiritual teacher? What are the ethical responsibilities and duties of a student? How does the morality of the Path followed by the teacher interact with the ethical norms of their society? In this class we will discuss this broad ranging topic.
