Wisdom of The Mystics
Our modern, techno-saturated society leaves us in an auto-pilot daze. It’s more important than ever to shake lackluster complacency and engage life with vigor, attention, and radiance. When was the last time you felt awe-struck by the simple wonder of being alive?
Prepare to be seduced into a cosmic vision of reality where the sun, moon, animals and elements are our brothers and sisters. This inspiring mix of mystical writers reconnects you with what truly matters. If you want a non-woo-woo approach to mysticism that puts esoteric subjects onto a practical footing, Wisdom Of The Mystics is for you.

7 Signs You’re A Modern Mystic. Do you...
- Sense an intrinsic connection to all living beings?
- Seek a personal connection to the divine– rather than religion?
- Want to experience the heart-centred cosmology of the mystics?
- Trust your intuition and conscience to guide you?
- Support humanitarianism and environmental justice?
- Love a holistic and creative approach to self-discovery?
- Feel excited to learn practical techniques from the spiritual masters?
Three things differentiate living from the soul versus living from the ego. They are: the ability to sense and learn new ways; the tenacity to ride a rough road; and the patience to learn deep love over time.

Who are The Mystics?
Mystics belong to no creed. They’re separated by time, culture, language and religion, but they’re united in an essential understanding of existence. Mary Magdalene speaks to us on fearless leadership, Ignatius of Loyola on discerning the authentic path, Oscar Romero on liberating the marginalized.
The mystics reveal useful insight for a modern, hurting world. From saints to sages, to sacred texts and cultural movements, to contemporary teachers and seekers– you’ll meet mystics who blazed a path that will illuminate your own.
To understand the world, knowledge is not enough. You must see it, touch it, live in its presence and drink the vital heat of existence in the very heart of reality.

Her work is dedicated to helping you discern your unique place in the world and put your spirituality into action.
Exploring what mysticism means to me has been a gift of profound beauty for my spirit. I don’t have to compartmentalize my spirituality anymore. I started bringing my healer archetype to work and it’s made a difference for my patients. I have a new appreciation for my hectic situation at work. Wisdom of The Mystics has enriched my spirit with a deeper understanding of who I am in this world and what I came here to do.

Is Facebook a necessary part of membership?
No, it isn’t. We encourage you to join the Facebook group because this is the platform that the majority of our members connect with one another. But, if you prefer not to be on Facebook, all content is shared inside our dedicated website.
Will I get feedback directly from Nina?
Yes! You’ll have access to Nina’s direct voicemail where you can ask questions for the podcast. Each month you’ll get in-depth, thoughtful responses to your specific circumstances. One-on-one coaching sessions are not part of the membership, but the feedback we get from students is that there are plenty of opportunities to connect.
And, you have the benefit of a positive, supportive community of spiritual seekers by your side on the private platform.
