Welcome to Orphan Wisdom
This is the home of Stephen Jenkinson’s writing and teaching work. ORPHAN WISDOM is a teaching house and a learning house for the skills of deep living and making human culture. It is a redemptive project that comes from where we come from. It is rooted in knowing history, being claimed by ancestry, working for a time we may not see.
ORPHAN WISDOM SCHOOL:Mandatory Arts of Living Deeply
NEW CLASSES IN CANADA
In the East Ottawa Valley, Ontario in the fall 2012
In the West Hollyhock Centre, Cortes Island, B.C., 26-31 October 2012 The Orphan Wisdom School is crafted specifically for all those people who will fail to live forever, who have come to the idea - or been driven there - that their yearning for a deep life must be tethered to the plough of labour and learning to harrow the hardened field of sorrows and solitary, grey news that has become our corner of this beautiful world, so that children can one day soon be born into to a real, detailed, laboured over Better Day that we ourselves might not live to see. This happy announcement and invitation we extend to you and your friends and especially your adversaries. To receive a registration form
