The School

The School of Spiritual Psychology has as its aim helping people to develop the soul capacities of the heart. We live in a highly mental culture that divides and analyzes and separates. A major aspect of the nature of mind is also to divide mind from the vital aspects of being. The result of living in such a binary world is constant strife, competition, stress, opposition, division, and being caught in the repetitive circle of sameness. We, as a culture, are at the end of the time of the binary world. The region of the heart opens to wider worlds, altering mind to universal mind, vitality to depth, and emotion to love. The School of Spiritual Psychology develops the capacities of the heart that transform not only our way of being in the world, but are a transformative element of the world itself. The evolution of consciousness is transiting from the mental to universal heart knowledge. The programs of the School bring harmony to this transition, preparing for the future world we are entering.

The School of Spiritual Psychology began in 1992, and offers programs in the initiation of the heart and soul, the initiation into the spiritualizing of body, and initiation into spiritual consciousness. The School is not academic in nature, though the work is thoughtful and requires the development of inner discipline.

The School of Spiritual Psychology also publishes an online journal, Sophia, focusing on building a community of individuals concerned with imagining the future of the world as felt through the knowledge and wisdom of the heart. Click HERE to visit the Sophia Journal website.

Goldenstone Press is the publishing enterprise of the School. To read excerpts from selected books and make book purchases, click HERE.
