This learning resource and community 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. Here is our three-year themed teaching itinerary:
2026 / Summits of Hope
2027 / Descents of Love
A Year in the School of Jesus aims to study the teachings of Jesus in the canonical 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, hope and love (1 Corinthians 13.13). We wish for:
A faithful life of ever-deepening centering with Jesus.
A hopeful life of learning the abiding ways of Jesus.
A loving life of radiating service to others and care for all and everything.
A Year in the School of Jesus is an annual email/website spiritual resource. Each week (October - May), you will receive a curated email focusing on biblical and spiritual ideas that tie into the year's curriculum and theme.
We are a community seeking to tap into the wisdom and love of Jesus, growing deeper in the contemplative expression of Christian faith.
Our teaching team is led by teacher, writer and pastor Peter Traben Haas. Peter is the author of multiple books on the contemplative dimension, and is pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church, Telluride, Colorado.
