Register Now for The Franciscan Way (Feb. 23–Apr. 12)
What opens you to embrace new and different experiences of God?
The Franciscan Way is a 7-week online course on Franciscan thought and practice with Franciscan Friar Richard Rohr. St. Francis of Assisi, an icon of gentleness and compassion, is also a radical prophet who challenges people of many faiths. His path closely adheres to Jesus’ way of simplicity, justice, and inclusivity through a counter-cultural movement—an “alternative orthodoxy” that values vulnerability and union over power and independence.
Cultivate vulnerability and union in your daily life by embarking on a journey of Franciscan wisdom with videos, audio, and teachings featuring Fr. Richard Rohr.
Learning Objectives
- Cultivate Franciscan wisdom in your daily life through reflection and engagement with Fr. Richard’s teaching
- Expand your awareness of the themes and founders of the Franciscan way, including the Alternative Orthodoxy, Univocity of Being, and the Great Chain of Being
- Develop a contemplative practice to grow alternative consciousness, which provides the only freedom from the dominant ego self and from cultural falsities
- Connect and learn with other spiritual seekers
