About Integral Wisdom
What is Integral Wisdom?
Integral Wisdom is the online learning platform of The Fintry Trust, an educational charity guided by the universal ideals of Truth, Beauty, Goodness and Unity.
Integral Wisdom may be defined as the ancient and universal wisdom. It is, in so far as it can be described in words, the Divine Wisdom, the literal manifestation of the Logos – the Divine Word. It does not belong exclusively to any particular time in history, nor to any particular system of teaching; rather it is the totality of all wisdom of all time which has so far been expressed on the plane of human consciousness.
Integral Wisdom courses draw upon the world’s wisdom traditions, both ancient and modern, enabling you to explore timeless Ideas and Ideals and their relevance in today’s world.
The structured courses include talks, guided meditations, self-assessments, a range of engaging guest speakers and certificates. You are invited to learn at your own pace in a supportive environment in order to expand your mind, open your heart, serve the good, live joyfully and reconnect to the divine mystery.
Courses are aimed at seekers from all walks of life who are looking to explore the perennial questions. No previous training or qualifications are required.
