i think it is very important to note that the idea of the seminary is by no means a religiously driven notion - rather the exchange of knowledge between peers - overseen by "elders"- a type of people we struggle to understand in western culture but invaluable in terms of out level of "consciousness"
peter stutchbury mentions this in his book under the edge also...
"our elders are those who have travelled long distances and gathered wisdom, we should orient ourselves around those who are most important to our path, yet also pay respect to those that have taken the the time to evolve. lessons need to be comprehended and passed on so that tradition is and acquired wisdom is not lost to bright light and fast cars. the simple word that explains this process is respect."
in a woodfordia context i can see a new paradigm developing - where we look to the past but forward at the same time -simultaneously... to create a new path into the future. consulting with our "elders" -such as indigenous australia who have many great lessons to teach in regards to "consciousness" and attachment to "being"
