This course inaugurates the Center of Earthosophy of the School of Spiritual Psychology. Earthosophy is the devotional dimension of Spiritual Psychology. We invite you to learn Spiritual-Earth-praying, Spiritual-Earth-ritual, Spiritual-Earth-healing, Spiritual-Earth-meditating, Spiritual-Earth devotion. We enter into the living, unanswerable, always unfolding question: Who is Earth? Spiritually, Who is Earth? And, with that felt question, we enter the further question – How do we come into direct, immediate, bodily presence with the Presence of Earth. 

There are Wisdom Traditions who know Earth in this manner – the American Indian, the Celtic, the Shamanic, and the esoteric stream known as the Saturn Mysteries. But, we, this culture, do not know Earth as Spiritual Earth, a Who. Those who revere Earth intuit that Earth is not just the inert stage upon which life happens, but rather, all that lives, including human beings-- are organs of the wholeness of Earth we live within – not on. We attend, closely, to Earth Wisdom traditions as guides of the coming-to-be.

With these guides, in this course we enter the deep tradition of Feminine Wisdom as Earth Presences. Sophia, Mary, The Black Madonna, Mary Magdalene, Our Lady of Guadalupe – we propose, are here, present, as the spiritual-living Earth.There are other traditions, of course. We provide ONE way, the bodily way of feeling, knowing, sensing, perceiving Earth as Spiritual Earth – in full, wakeful awareness. To develop these capacities of awareness will provide available soul capacities to do so within the feminine aspects of any spiritual tradition. In fact, much of our method derives from the Sufi tradition.

These Earth Presences are also embodied Soul Capacities – We must find the manner in which these presences are already within the embodied soul and awaken to those capacities, which then allow being with Earth in utterly new ways – as our ever-present nurturing companions.
