We are a mystical fellowship of devoted spiritual seekers in pursuit of the inner flowering of wisdom. The heart of our collective life is expansion into true contemplation and awakening, for the blessing and wholeness of all sentient beings. With deep roots in the 'Silk Road crossing' of ancient Indo-Tibetan and Alexandrian mystical traditions, we cultivate holistic, life-giving transformation in the context of a unitary or non-dual worldview, by means of a poetic, compassionate, distilled expression of contemplative life. We are devoted to rigorous practice and careful study of the inner arts of spiritual development, toward the ultimate unfoldment of the mystic rose within: the summum bonum ('highest good') of all human endeavor.
