Wisdom Council provides a unique opportunity for spiritual teachers to connect in a collegial, contemplative atmosphere. As a safe space for invited participants to seek dialogue, discernment, shared spiritual practice, and mutual learning, Wisdom Council offers ‘lateral formation’ among spiritual teachers—a place where these leaders can function as peer resources, receiving feedback and sharing perspectives with one another. Through this lateral formation, Wisdom Council aims to break a sometimes dangerous cycle of spiritual teachers operating in isolation without collegial advice or accountability
