Wisdom Keeper Week– Growing What Matters
February 27 – March 6, 2027
During Wisdom Keeper Week, we celebrate Professor Edmond Szekely’s birthday by breathing life into one of his teachings. In the 1930s, he wrote, “Wisdom is the sum total of knowledge needed for happiness.” In this time of overwhelm, we offer spaciousness—a time to step out of the crowded field of accumulation and into a sense of purpose that brings clarity to our lives, our wealth, and our relationships.
Professor Szekely said, “Longevity was bestowed upon the beings that were of greatest service to the planet, and the greatest longevity was bestowed upon the trees.” How can we be rooted, connected, and in service to life with all that we have received? How can we give back with a light heart, without becoming trapped by what we accumulate? We welcome you to explore a liberating flow of giving and receiving, growing what matters.
Our speakers this week are deeply engaged in their purpose and have found unique ways to share their gifts and passions.
Join these extraordinary teachers and others like you who are part of the generative story of our time for a grounding and life-giving week at Rancho la Puerta.
