BUILDING A SOPHIANIC COMMUNITY – CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIP
Sophia can be discerned in every encounter with air, with water, with warmth, with earth. Or she can be ignored completely. Exercises to assist the encounter are throughout this website, as well as being offered in person – the best means, of course! – through the StarHouse in Boulder, Colorado, and Mountain Seas, Flinders Island, Australia.
By signing up for our Mailing List (see subscription box to the right), you will receive access to the introduction PDF for the Sophia Elements Meditations and an audio introduction to the work.
Here is another PDF which gives an overview of ways to deepen your involvement with the Sophia Lineage.
The Counsellor
AAP, Association for Anthroposophic Psychology, is a new initiative for those interested in refining their Counseling skills. The program offers a Masters Degree in Anthroposophic Psychology through Burlington College in Vermont. This 3-year course meets 3 times a year for 4 days, currently on the East and West Coast. At least one other cohort is being considered for 2016. David Tresemer is a primary faculty member in this initiative, and Lila Sophia Tresemer is adjunct faculty.
We bring in the strong presence of Anthropos and Sophia to this seminar, which has as its underlying mission, “Re-Membering Psychology through Relational Anthropos-Sophia.” We feel strongly that this program reflects the essence of Sophia rising in the world and the re-igniting of the Sacred Feminine.
The art of counseling is practiced in many settings. An uncle counsels a troubled niece. A “licensed professional clinical counselor” (LPCC) works in a treatment center for drug addicts. A counselor can be everything in between. If you add in everyone who mentors another—from life-coaches to policemen to wedding planners to lawyers to intimate friends—counseling includes everybody.
While mainstream counseling psychology has been moving toward more cognitive and pharmacological approaches, this book (The Counselor) and this course bring us back to a psychology where soul and spirit matter. Through the guidance of anthroposophy—Anthropos, the becoming human being, and Sophia, divine wisdom—counselors will rediscover here an approach to human beings that has the heart of soul, and the light of spirit. You can purchase this book on David-Lila.com.
Once you have gone through the materials on this site, you may wish to attend an event. You may wish eventually to contact one of us to organize a solo visioning time, either in Colorado or Flinders Island. Ordination is a possibility in the future, creating a stronger relationship to the living being within whom we live and thrive.
We invite you to contact us to express your areas of interest, via the contact form.
