Transmitting the Force of Presence

Origin+Omega is a vehicle for the transmission of presence. From this context we offer the energetic qualities of sincerity and compassion as we work with practices based in learning to wield attention and relax our somatic body through surrender. We utilize frameworks that facilitate the entrainment of placing the mind in the heart and the heart-mind in the feet. And we do this through unveiling the potential of personhood-the energetic force of our individual lives multiplied through the arrangement of collective and conscious exchange. It actually works. Join us!


Our vocation as human beings is to be transmitters of divine life. Transmission is not just the communicating of a teaching or message, but the communication of life in its evolving sense of opening more and more to the reception of the Ultimate Reality.
— Thomas Keating

Origin+Omega is led by Jonathan L. Steele, M.A. Jonathan is a retreat leader, teacher, and spiritual director whose work has been steeped in the Christian Wisdom tradition and the teachings of the 4th Way, including the transmission behind the sacred symbol of the Enneagram. Origin+Omega draws upon the richness of these traditions in its offerings - As well as utilizing the tools of family systems theory and the frameworks of the 12-steps and the practice of inquiry, to meet individuals and groups in the context of mutuality and exchange, inviting co-creativity and the discovery of our shared human purpose.

Jonathan tracks wisdom back to its living Source-weaving the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, the Christian apophatic tradition and evolutionary theology to hold a whole and coherent cosmogonic vision. He has ways of seeing it and saying it that come from the gift of a pellucid heart not arising in this world.
