Mission Statement:
Our program is founded on the universe story and the principles of a living cosmology:  Earth (Everything is related to everything else – communion, compassion); Art (Nothing that is created is repetitive or the same as something else – differentiation; creativity); Spirit (Each expression of creation has a personality that is uniquely its own – interiority, transformation).  At Sophia Center we revision the basic story of our lives and participate in the Great Work of personal, cultural, and ecological transformation.  Our curriculum is created around the Fourfold Wisdom of the New Science, Indigenous Peoples, Women and Classical Traditions of the World.  The programs of the Sophia Center in Culture and Spirituality foster an understanding of both time-honored wisdom and of the contemporary forces that are reshaping human experience.  The programs of the Sophia Center in Culture and Spirituality foster an understanding of both the time-honored wisdom and the Sophia Center is designed to create an inclusive and integral human presence that is open to the divine and designed to nurture a sustainable community of life for every species.
