What Is A Mystery School?

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. In today's episode we explore the concept, history & purpose of Mystery Schools as a place to reflect, remember and return to your inner wisdom. 

Mystery Schools have always been devoted to inner wisdom, cultivating a syllabus which is not so much about higher academic learning, moreso about a deeper, intuitive understanding - essentially teaching that life is an inner-journey of spiritual awakening. I invite you to receive this episode with an open-heart and mind. Listen closely to the things that chime true in you or pique your interest - and most importantly, act on your curiosity if it speaks to your soul.

"If a library is where you go for the known, a Mystery School is where you go to explore the unknown."
