New Gateway: Seasons!

Thanks to everyone who has shared your enthusiasm and support for the renewed Wellsprings of Wisdom! I really appreciate hearing from everyone and hope that you will share some of your own experiences in the Sharing Circles (and other posts) so that we gradually create some online community.

Wellsprings of Wisdom has opened a new Gateway of Seasons for exploring the seasons of the year and the seasons of our lives. This Gateway is starting with just a few Paths (posts) and my plan is to keep adding more, so you can experience its growth with me. I’ll let you know when I add more Paths to this and existing Gateways, and open up new Gateways!

Thanks for enjoying this adventure with me!

What’s New – First Post

January 1, 2017

8th Day of Hanukkah 5777

Welcome to the NEW Wellsprings of Wisdom!

The confluence of the solar New Year with the Hanukkah festival of re-dedication brings an auspicious time to relaunch this site.

Thanks to our talented and dedicated web designer Rivkah Walton, and after many months of work moving all the material, Wellsprings has moved to this new WordPress Platform. Our new format will make it easier to update regularly. I look forward to sharing more frequent teachings, images, videos and music, and to showcasing the work of many rabbis, teachers and creative artists. Wellsprings aims to be a truly alternative online experience, a place where you can nurture your soul and learn about retreat centers, outdoor adventures, and worthwhile organizations that help the environment and society.

If you are new to the site, you can start here for a full explanation of how it works.

If you are a past reader of Wellsprings of Wisdom, you will find the four Portals of Earth/Water/Air/Fire, and your favorite original Gateways. Explore them anew to discover some updates and new pathways (posts), including videos, images, and meditations.

In honor of our relaunch, at this season of the Winter Solstice, a new Gateway has been added: Darkness, where you can learn about the night side of nature, tradition, and spirituality. Thank you to Rabbis Fern Feldman, David Evan Markus, and David Seidenberg for sharing your wisdom, and to Rabbi Geela Rayzel Raphael for sharing music.

Wellsprings of Wisdom will continue to add new pathways (posts) to existing Gateways (content pages), and to add whole new Gateways, so be sure to subscribe to this “What’s New” blog to know what’s been added each week!
