Wisdom's Goldenrod Center for Philosophic Studies is a non-profit organization that provides an environment for individual and group study and meditation. Studies at the Center do not follow any single tradition but instead explore a wide range of topics in Eastern and Western thought, from ancient to contemporary.
The Center was founded in 1972 by Anthony Damiani, a longtime student of Paul Brunton. Studies have continued uninterrupted since Anthony's death in 1984 and are led by members, who also share responsibility for maintenance of the facilities.

QUEST AND QUESTIONS
Quest is related to questioning. To question is to be in a state of neither ignorance nor of complete knowledge. Were we totally ignorant, we would not know that there was a lack. Were we totally knowing, we would not need to search. We hope to follow these questions more deeply into mystery, not just figure out the answers.

 Thich Nhat Hanh:
[comments on MINDFULNESS: “I have arrived”;(in) “ I am home.” (out)]
If we practice looking deeply we see that we have all the conditions for happiness right here and now. “I have arrived, I am home.” Means I have stopped running, I can touch happiness right now. I want to make the present moment my true home.
