The school is for anyone, anywhere who wishes to rediscover the life-transforming wisdom of Jesus, deepen their spiritual life and connection with Jesus, and explore the contemplative path of the Christian journey.
In 2025, we will focus on the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels with a view to more deeply understanding and experiencing the spiritual journey Jesus invites us to. This journey is rooted in the centrality of faith.
Looking for a biblical template for the spiritual journey, we will explore 10 mountains in the scriptures that symbolize aspects of our spiritual life. We will also pair the Psalms of Ascents (120 - 134) with each month of the curriculum year.
We tend to think of ascent as upward - but it is also inward and outward and toward...
A faithful life of ever-deepening abiding with Jesus.
A faithful life of learning the ways of Jesus.
A faithful life of service to others and care for all and everything.
A Year in the School of Jesus is an annual online spiritual resource. Every Wednesday of the curriculum year, you will receive an exceptionally curated email focusing on the week's teaching theme. Our 2025 class begins Thursday, January 23 and concludes Thursday, June 12.
We are a community seeking to tap into the wisdom and love of Jesus, growing deeper in the contemplative expression of Christian faith. We meet during our curriculum year on Thursdays at 6:30PM MNT on Zoom or in person at Christ Presbyterian Church, Telluride, Colorado.
Our teaching team is led by teacher and writer pastor Peter Traben Haas. Peter is the author of multiple books on the contemplative dimension, and is pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church, Telluride, Colorado.
