The Unseen Hand: Medicine from Antiquity is a non-profit school dedicated to making available the esoteric teachings and practices of an ancient mystical lineage.
To honor and preserve these teachings and practices, we use a variety of programs and initiatives, including spiritual retreats, public talks, meditation groups, small highly interactive training groups, as well as the treatment and study of ancient medicine.
This lineage holds a transmission of love that watches over and serves the root of life itself.

This is a school for the training of the muse. For those artists who live the cry, the light from within, those artists surrendered to something far greater than themselves. Despite all effort, success and failure, at the end of this era, the School of 3 Lights calls to the soul of the artist to reach toward the light of humanity and the Earth. The call itself is to be trained, servant to the beauty and mercy of the Divine.

The Golden Sufi Center is the vehicle for the work of the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya Order of Sufism. The purpose of The Golden Sufi Center is to make available the teachings of this lineage of Sufism, and people follow this path from many countries around the world. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee is the founder and sheikh of The Golden Sufi Center. His son, Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, has been fully authorized as his successor and is also a sheikh in this lineage.

Naqshbandi Sufis (named after Bahâ ad-dîn Naqshband, d. 1389) are known as the "silent Sufis" because their practices are done in silence. They practice a silent dhikr and the silent meditation of the heart—God is the silent emptiness and is therefore most easily reached in silence. Through spiritual practice and following the principles of the path, the wayfarer is guided on the stages of the journey, back to the divine oneness that is experienced within the heart.

"It has always been a radical act to share stories during dark times. They are regenerative spaces of creation and renewal. As we experience a loss of sacred connection to the earth, we share stories that explore the timeless connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality."

"Our fulfillment is not in our isolated human grandeur, but in our intimacy with the larger earth community, for this is also the larger dimension of our being. Our human destiny is integral with the destiny of the earth."

"Such a fantastic universe, with its great spiraling galaxies, its super-novas, our solar system, and this privileged planet Earth! All this is held together in the vast curvature of space, poised so precisely in holding all things together in the one embrace and yet so lightly that the creative expansion of the universe might continue on into the future. We our-selves, with our distinctive capacities for reflexive thinking, are the most recent wonder of the universe, a special mode of reflecting this larger curvature of the universe itself. If in recent centuries we have sought to collapse this larger creative curve within the horizons of our own limited being, we must now understand that our own well-being can be achieved only through the well-being of the entire natural world about us. The greater curvature of the universe and of the planet Earth must govern the curvature of our own being. In the coincidence of these three curves lies the way into a creative future."

Inspired by the work of Thomas Berry, Brian Thomas Swimme and Bruce Bochte founded the Center for the Story of the Universe. The Center offers award-winning videos to expand our collective consciousness and redirect the current self-destructive trajectory of society towards a vibrant community that transcends individual, human and geo-political boundaries.

Through his observations of cranes, butterflies, and salmon in the course of their annual migrations, cultural ecologist and philosopher David Abram reflects on the deep intelligence that lies at the heart of migration patterns.
