What is needed now is a new house of wisdom, one for all of the great traditions of the world, as well as the burgeoning wisdom in science, in the arts, in all that comes from the heart of human experience. – Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, Seven Pillars’ founder

Seven Pillars House of Wisdom is a non-profit dedicated to cultivating living wisdom for our time. We host an online journal and produce digital media including a multimedia e-book, videos, and real-world events [meant] to foster individual and collective explorations of wisdom.

Our activities are centered on a process that we call "The Seven Pillars,” a template that when explored wholeheartedly may revivify wisdom in the world. By illuminating the experiences of life, contemplation of the pillars can help us address the social and ecological needs of our time with integrity and beauty.

Seven Pillars House of Wisdom is founded in the tradition of great houses of wisdom such as the Library of Alexandria, the House of Wisdom of Baghdad, the interfaith House of Worship of Fatehpur Sikri, and the Platonic Academy of Florence. At special moments in human history, these houses were created to harvest the wisdom of the world. Like them, Seven Pillars is dedicated to synthesizing knowledge from the past and advancing new paradigms fitted for our time.

We have set a table around which lovers of wisdom of all backgrounds are invited to come together to converse and collaborate. Please feel welcome.
