Office Hours with a Mage

On Tuesdays Dr Sam Webster will have “office hours” to practice the methods taught in the Way of the Magi class, go deeper in the understanding of them, and answer your questions.

The Magi have taught spiritual development in the Western tradition since before 500 BC, usually in the form of initiations and practices. The Way of the Magi is a series of practices for advancement by uniting with the Cosmos and connecting with all the forces and beings of the World as family and friends. On the way, we find the path leading back to the Source of Being, and learn our parts in the cosmic drama.

Using movement, sound, and sacred symbols, we develop the skills to reach a progressively deeper awareness of the world. We move through a cycle of invocations that transform our relationships with the world and each other, awakening in time the experience of the unity of all Being.

Drop in and say hi!
