Cultivating a World of Peace, Health & Wholeness Through Relationship
Chriscion Lyceum
A Living Lyceum of Peace, Connectedness, and Flourishing
A living space for rediscovering our connectedness and cultivating the sacred relationships that sustain all life.
The path to a more peaceful, healthy, and flourishing world begins with how we relate.
We live in a world deeply connected, yet often experienced through separation. We see it in our relationship with ourselves, in the divisions between people and communities, in our disconnection from the natural world, and in the systems and structures that shape our shared lives.
Chriscion Lyceum invites us to rediscover what connects us.
It is a living space for learning, contemplation, dialogue, and shared exploration—a place to deepen our understanding of the relationships that shape our lives and the world we inhabit.
Through greater awareness, curiosity, and understanding, we explore how to cultivate wholeness within ourselves, meaningful connection with others, reverence for creation, and restoration and reconciliation where relationships have been fractured.
A Different Way of Understanding Relationship
At the heart of this exploration is a simple but transformative recognition:
- Peace is the practice of relationship.
- Health is the rhythm of healthy relationship
- Reconciliation is the restoration of relationship.
Wholeness emerges as we recognize, nurture, and restore the connections that sustain life.
The Living Circle of Relationship
The extent and nature of our relationships in life are interconnected and run through 4 main relationships that most everything can fall within.
- Relationship with Self
- Relationship with Others
- Relationship with Creation
- Relationship with Justice, Equity, Restoration & Reconciliation
Each of these 4 Spheres are engaged with in terms of 3 internal dimensions of each Sphere, for a total of 12 dimensions. The third dimension – Spiritual Health – is within the Relationship with Self Sphere and is the center of Wheel and is what connects each of the other dimension spokes, the Spheres, and the entire Wheel. This is an illustration of why and how our relationship with ourselves is the key to all of our relationships.
Whether exploring your own inner life, engaging across differences, rediscovering our kinship with the living world, or participating in the restoration of our communities and societies, there is a place for you here. There are a number of ways to engage with and within the Chriscion Lyceum. Some of those include the list below and more will be created as we all contribute to the breath and flourishing of the Lyceum. You can find these activities through navigating the various pages of the website.
- Explore ideas, perspectives, and resources
- Participate in dialogue and shared learning
- Discover practices for personal and collective well-being and reconnection
- Engage in conversations that bridge differences
- Contribute to restoration and reconciliation in any one or all of the Spheres
A World of Encounter Begins With Each of Us
A world of encounter begins with each of us, both individually and collectively. It must ultimately begin within each of us individually. We don’t have to see the world in the same way to recognize that our connection to one another is real and cannot truly be severed. It can only be forgotten, damaged, buried, or otherwise disregarded; but it remains nonetheless. Just as our true essence as source of love, wisdom, compassion, and the highest qualities always remains with us, even if we are so distracted by our wounds and egoic desires that we have difficulty hearing or aligning to it. We can begin building this world of encounter instead of conflict by changing our mindsets from the egoic stratified good/bad, right/wrong, black/white, all/nothing, win/lose, us/them judgments and characterizations to one of curiosity instead. When we begin becoming curious, we tend to listen more deeply, and we often begin to see commonalities instead of just differences. With curiosity and commonalities, we begin seeing one another with more compassion, recognizing wounds and shared humanity. We begin to see that our relationship with all of life is greater than the divisions that separate us. We may not be the same, but we are not separate.
