Work Study - Timeless Wisdom for our Postmodern Lives
We live in challenging times. Traditional beliefs and institutions have been destabilized by modern society, and the promise of science and reason has been shaken by environmental and social destruction. Some have responded by a revival of fundamentalist religions; others
have doggedly clung to modern dreams and worldviews. For many of us, neither of these older structures will work. We have chosen to get imaginative and inventive, and to build a new cultural and philosophic home that taps into the wisdom of our human heritage.
