The Forge Statement of Values 1. At the core of The Forge Institute is spiritual wisdom.
Spiritual wisdom is a way of being alive.
This way of being alive answers to our own and society's preoccupations with self, group and materialism. It is at the heart of most spiritual and religious traditions. We seek to develop spiritual wisdom in all areas of our lives. We seek to name and take responsibility for our own discomforts, and using tact, explore directly and honestly with each other, until we again are open without defense to what is. We seek a renaissance of spiritual wisdom.
