SPIRITUAL
LIFE IN TUMULTUOUS
TIMES
Deepak Chopra describes
Jean’s work: “Jean Houston
reminds us that we need a
new mythology for our age.
Without myths, a society
becomes sterile and is bereft
of meaning and soul. I
recommend her highly to those
who want to restore the
magical and the miraculous in
their lives.”

Joseph Campbell stated:
"I think that Houston has broken through to a new understanding of the sense and uses of the disciplines of inward turned contemplation."
Margaret Mead concurred: "Jean is a great producer, a creator of significant events. . . as she orchestrates the myriad new voices expressing alternatives of consciousness."
Mystery School Participants: "It is a place where we come to know ourselves as unbelievably magnificent sources of being... it is a place to take risks in a very supportive environment. . . it's a place of genious and wizardry... a place of community, a great place to be!"

Ready for a mind cracking, soul buffeting, life enlarging realization? Join the Mystery School for 2010.
Now in its 27th year, Jean Houston's Mystery School is a stimulating exploration of wisdom, creativity, mythology, science, history, and mystic communities, designed to bring age-old teachings together with the sacred potential of each student. The knowledge is coupled with practical skills that effectively apply the learning to personal needs and concerns. The Mystery School is a thought-provoking modern-day version of ancient schools of wisdom and deep training found in the great traditions throughout history.
The 2010 Mystery School is specifically designed for the challenges facing you personally and collectively. Spiritual Life in Tumultuous Times gathers the experiences of teachers from wisdom traditions, science and the personal studies of Dr. Houston herself for an insightful look at the complex patterns that operate beneath the surface of any given situation. Participants bring their personal questions and issues to the Mystery School and learn how to apply the rich spiritual principles to his or her area of concern.
This year for the first time in the history of Mystery School, the weekends, which focus on different challenges now facing individuals, families and communities, may be taken as a year-long series or as stand-alone, individual weekends. As with the past 26 years, the highest benefit will be gained from attending the entire series, and we are implementing this change in response to your requests for more options to enroll.

Session 1: Spiritual Power, Old Secrets and New Discoveries
Session 2: Ceremony as a Gateway to the Mystery
Session 3: The Spiritual Infrastructure of Abundance
