Guardians of Wisdom: Spiritual Beliefs of the Templars, Cathars & Related Gnostics (6 weeks introductory interactive Online Course)

Sale Price: €220.00 Original Price: €250.00

As mentioned recently, I will be holding this 6 weeks introductory but extremely thorough course online privately on ZOOM, which in the past I taught at the College for those of you who missed it, with a discount for paid Patreons.

The course will be taught fully online in an interactive way (no death by powerpoint) as it will include poetry, music, and relevant primary sources in addition to key secondary sources and additional material from my research. It will take place in six 2hr sessions which will allow for additional time for QA, and starts on Saturday 7 February 6-8 pm UK, so to allow those of you in US time to attend.

In this 6-week livestream course, you'll embark on an enchanting exploration of medieval spirituality, where divine wisdom, mysticism, and sacred practices converge.

In these six online classes, you will experience a unique blend of history, mysticism, and personal transformation as you explore their profound spiritual legacy that continues to inspire today.

Discover the Templars as more than warriors - unveil their spiritual path rooted in devotion, mysticism, and the quest for divine knowledge as protectors and defenders of the Way of the Rose. Walk alongside the Good Men and Women known as Cathars, whose dualistic beliefs and ethereal rituals sought to transcend the material world. Learn about the origins of Gnosticism and the influential Gnostic groups that shaped the beliefs of both the Cathars and the Knights Templars, paving the way for modern Gnosticism and its enduring spiritual impact.

WHEN YOU BOOK, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITHIN 48 HOURS TO CONFIRM YOUR PLACE, WITH THE COURSE OUTLINE AND ZOOM LINK TO JOIN.

In this transformative livestream course with a weekly class, you will:

  • Explore the Templars' mystical spirituality, including their Oath, Marianism and the Templar rule written by Bernard of Clairvaux.

  • Learn about the Cathar tradition, including their history and persecution (Albigensian Crusade) but also rituals and beliefs, uncovering their unique practices like the Consolamentum and their enduring spiritual impact.

  • Trace Gnostic influences and serpent symbolism, unveiling hidden wisdom and meeting 'Sophia'.

  • Examine the relevance of Hermetic Philosophy and Alchemy and its influence on Templar, Cathar and Gnostic beliefs.

  • Engage with sacred practices, from spiritual alchemy through the Marriage of the Sun and Moon to understanding the goddess in stone and the priestess tradition often misrepresented as Sacred Prostitution.

  • Reflect on their modern relevance, as these teachings continue to echo in contemporary spiritual movements, including Carl Jung's work as a modern Gnostic, which explored the integration of the unconscious, archetypes, and the journey of individuation.

  • Discover modern Templar, Cathar and Gnostic practices, texts, communities and even travel, to complement your spiritual journey.
