Many on-campus classes are offered just once a year and some are available every alternate year. In addition, Sancta Sophia Seminary offers many one to three-day workshops on special subjects which are open to all.
Kabalah, meaning “to receive”, preserves esoteric wisdom for those ready to explore this rich body of knowledge. History, symbology, and meditations are introduced, linking the Kabalistic Tree, the four worlds, the sephiroth, and pathways. We shall trace the relationship to esoteric Christianity from the mysticism of the Hebrews, as well as its similarities to other wisdom ways. Now both men and women can receive a general understanding of this powerful school of thought, rich with new information and transformational ideas. The goal of the class is to explore and gain a new appreciation of this route to higher consciousness. This may be your path.

As we swim in currents of a new era, we must have trained guides to chart the course.

Topics to be explored: Out of Body Experiences, Meeting a Discarnate, Near Death Experiences, Walk-In (Soul Exchanges) and others.

This workshop is for students to refresh their understanding of the Seven Rays, a concept brought through by various recent spiritual philosophers. These philosophers emphasize that evolving humanity must expand its present knowledge of psychology to include an understanding of the Seven Rays and Esoteric Astrology to consciously and successfully interact with the energies that influence the personality vehicle and the soul. The workshop will give each participant an opportunity to re-examine or perhaps determine their unique ray profile to gain insight into the qualities, lessons, goals, strengths, and weaknesses of their psychological and causal nature. This class is a lead-in to the class on Advanced Esoteric Astrology, taught by Dennis Acrea, August 11th through 17th, because an understanding of one’s Ray make-up is an essential part of Esoteric Astrology.

What is Esoteric Astrology? This advanced class continues our study of Esoteric Astrology. This is the unfolding of the Mind of God through the application of the 7 Rays as they animate the astrological signs and planets. The purpose of our solar system is the unfolding of consciousness on all levels. The purpose of humanity, both collectively and individually, is the revelation of the soul’s reality.
Prerequisite: Completion of the Seven Rays Workshop offered by Brenda Cutrell or equivalent education. For those with equivalent education, please contact Dennis at 612-729-9930.
