The spiritual work of the Sophia Foundation of North America is oriented towards shaping a "Grail vessel" through shared spiritual activity. It is intended as a contribution to the inner work of preparing the future culture of Divine Sophia known as the Rose of the World, referred to elsewhere on our website. The Rose of the World is the spiritual flower that exists on a cosmic level, where each petal is a different religion and the stem is the one all-pervasive divinity that nourishes all the petals which form a unified blossom. It is an image of the future time when the Holy Wisdom of Divine Sophia prevails and humanity knows the unique, yet unified relationship of the world religions and spiritual traditions.
The foundational spiritual work offered through the Sophia Foundation includes the Main Exercise and the Subsidiary Exercises given by Rudolf Steiner in the First Esoteric School from 1904-1914, and the Daily Prayer Sequence given by Valentin Tomberg and further developed in the sacred dance of eurythmy by Robert Powell. These prayers and exercises are foundational for the spiritual work of the Sophia Foundation.
Meditation study materials which work in conjunction with these prayers and meditative exercises are available for inner development. This inner work is at the heart of the Sophia Foundation. There are various areas of study offered, each of which has a unique focus. The variety offers options for people with different interests.
