Timeless Wisdom To Help You Withstand The Darkness And Cynicism Of Our Day
Between the pandemic, the societal unrest and upheaval, the dire issue of climate change, and more, we are certainly navigating turbulent, unchartered waters.
Thankfully, we do have empowering, transformative wisdom to look to, as we learn from those who’ve already navigated the world’s plagues and other dark times — true spiritual luminaries who have traveled the very roads we’re traveling now.
We can walk in their company, allowing their wisdom to guide us to not only survive these times, but to emerge feeling bolder, more grounded, wiser, and more peaceful…
… because like those who came before us, we made the choice to continue growing, evolving, and nurturing our belief in a power greater than our own.
On Wednesday, June 17, join a free video event with renowned spiritual pioneer Matthew Fox to revisit the groundbreaking teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, iconic philosopher and Doctor of the Church — and apply his profound wisdom to the circumstances of your own life, no matter what you’re facing.
You’ll discover:
- A new understanding of wisdom — it starts with the heart and head, psyche and cosmos, coming together
- What you can learn from Aquinas’ forward-thinking, eco-conscious, understanding of salvation — “First and primarily, salvation means to preserve things in the good” — and how to live it out in your own life, starting NOW
- Julian’s essential feminist spiritual teachings, including “Goodness of Creation,” “God As the Goodness of Things,” and “The Motherhood of God (Divine Feminine)”
- Why Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. invoked Aquinas’ teachings on justice in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail”
- An ancient Indigenous healing song, let by special guest Meshi Chavez
These times call for boldness. It’s crucial that we now bring the teachings of the spiritual luminaries and brilliant minds who came before us into our daily lives — and Matthew will show you how.

About Matthew Fox
Matthew Fox is a prolific author of books dedicated to renewing the ancient tradition of Creation Spirituality. This earth-based tradition is feminist, welcoming of the arts and artists, honors Indigenous wisdom, prophetic — and committed to interfaith and eco-justice, social justice, and gender justice.Matthew’s effort to reawaken the West to its own mystical tradition has awakened awareness of Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, and the mysticism of Thomas Aquinas — and helped to reconnect science and spirituality by interacting with contemporary scientists who are also mystics. He believes that “by reinventing work, education, and worship, we can bring about a nonviolent revolution on our planet.”
Matthew received his doctorate summa cum laude in the History and Theology of Spiritualities from the Institut Catholique de Paris. He was a member of the Dominican Order for 34 years, and he established an Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality that operated for seven years at Mundelein College in Chicago, and for 12 years at Holy Names College in Oakland.
He founded the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland, California in 1996, and was president and professor until 2005, when he left to create a pilot project to reinvent the educational experience for inner-city teenagers.
Matthew is a recipient of the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award; other recipients have included the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks. He is also a visiting scholar at the Academy for the Love of Learning in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
