The Seven Pillars Journey Toward Wisdom

A groundbreaking “illuminated e-manuscript,” The Seven Journey Toward Wisdom is a contemplative toolkit for the social and ecological needs of our time produced by Seven Pillars House of Wisdom. While the process taught in Julia Cameron’s popular book, The Artist’s Way, guided us to living an artist’s life, Journey Toward Wisdom guides the discovery of how we may be purposeful and active in the world today. In today’s precarious and fast-changing world the tools for growth need to be dynamic. Journey Toward Wisdom contains text, video, an original musical score, and the art of surrealist painter Cecil Collins. The book invites the reader to embark on an inspirational journey toward a living wisdom that can deepen our insight and help us address the urgent social and ecological needs of our time. Inspired by our global wisdom legacy, and the revolutionary illuminated manuscripts of the 5th and 6th centuries, this cutting-edge, "multi-touch" e-book combines not only text and image, but also original music, narration, video, and graphic animation. Your mind and senses will be awakened and enlivened by poetic evocations, insightful conversations, and contemplative exercises as you embark on a journey of discovery through the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The book also features paintings and illustrations by the famed artist Cecil Collins.
