Ancient Schools and the Transmission of Knowledge
Every generation inherits the accumulated wisdom of those that preceded it. But knowledge transmitted through time is subject to a natural decay: what was once living and flexible gradually hardens into dogma, losing its capacity to transform those who encounter it. To counteract this process, every age must take upon itself to find a fresh expression of ancient truths.
The Haystack of Spirituality
What drew me to this work is a desire to understand myself more clearly, but not just in an abstract or purely intellectual way. In a way that actually changes how I live, relate, and choose. I’ve spent years observing patterns in myself that I can recognize but don’t always fully master, cycles of effort and withdrawal, moments of clarity followed by old habits reasserting themselves, and a recurring sense that there’s a deeper coherence trying to emerge if I can learn how to meet it properly.
Milan 2026
Milan is a crossroads of sacred traditions, where early Christian basilicas stand alongside Gothic cathedrals and Renaissance masterpieces. From the 4th-century foundations of Sant’Ambrogio through the soaring spires of the Duomo to Leonardo’s revolutionary experiments in perspective and symbolism, this northern Italian city preserved centuries of esoteric knowledge in stone, mosaic, and paint. Each period found its own language to express eternal truths, which we will trace throughout our week together.
Twelve Functions
Our psychology is composed of four independent minds… subdivided into three parts. All parts are forced to cohabit, influencing one another and yielding twelve distinct modes of psychological operation. In this four-day gathering, we will superimpose this twelvefold structure onto Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper.
Who Does This Work?
Those who gather the courage to take the next step and join this work discover something unexpected: despite their differences, they forge the closest friendships. What brings them together runs deeper than age, culture, or circumstance, for it is rooted in the very core of their being.
Why Did You Choose this Life?
The idea of reincarnation is spoken of all too lightly, especially in modern spiritual circles. “I must have been a mother in a previous life,” or “I’m sure I was a dog in a past existence.” This is said with the same certainty we recount yesterday’s events, and this casual attitude erodes our understanding.
Miami 2025
Join us in Miami for a rich weekend with two parallel investigations: the intimate psychological portraits of 17th-century Dutch masters and the profound limitations of divine intervention.
Six Mythological Keys
The ancient Greeks created their gods and heroes, not for mere entertainment, but as precise maps of human psychology. Each myth encoded specific insights about our inner workings—our struggles with identity, our relationship to higher influences, and the eternal conflict between our mechanical nature and our potential for transformation.
Athens 2025
Join us in Athens to explore the foundations of Western civilization. We will survey the mathematical precision of the temples of the Acropolis, the hillside theaters where the first dramatic performances took place, sculptures of long-forgotten deities, and the sacred site of the Oracle at Delphi. We will aim to understand how the ancient Greeks conveyed and preserved their wisdom in architecture, sculpture, and dramatic works—wisdom whose relevance continues to pulse through our lives today.
Law of 3 & 7
Explore the cosmic architecture that shapes our inner and outer worlds in this intensive six-day online workshop. The Laws of Three and Seven, known in ancient wisdom traditions, represent universal principles that govern everything from celestial mechanics to human psychology. Each day, we’ll delve more deeply into practical applications of these laws through guided exercises and group discussions.
Beyond Automation
Two weeks ago, 32 practitioners of the Old New Method convened in Rome for a week-long gathering. It has long been our tradition to meet twice each year in different locations around the world, particularly places of historic relevance to our teaching.
Identification
Identification is one of the most pervasive and limiting features of our psychology. It occurs when we become wholly absorbed in whatever captures our attention, losing ourselves in the process. This abandonment of our sense of self is diametrically opposed to self-remembering. Self-remembering is precisely the attempt to experience both the ‘I’ and the ‘here’ of ‘I am here.’
