Welcome to Sophia’s Children.
Where does the name come from?
I’d come across a biblical passage, in which a particular group of judgy, status-quo-gatekeeper types were spewing insults about John the Baptist and Jesus — status-quo challengers, both — and Jesus responded by saying,
“Sophia will be vindicated by her children.”
That’s a bold, laid-down challenge, right there. Like a Jesian koan.
I’d had a series of personal and deeply transformative experiences, with Sophia at the center of them, spurring along my studies of such things.
The Meaning of Sophia
If you’ve not had much exposure to Greeks and/or Greek studies, Sophia means Wisdom in the Greek language (and despite some pretentious Western academic preferences to the contrary, Sophia is pronounced so-FEE-uh, not so-FIE-uh, among Greeks. Just sayin’.).
“Sophia will be vindicated by her children.”
We are Sophia’s Children, re-awakening and remembering Wisdom in a world very much in need of Wisdom‘s presence through us.
Amazingly, I started the Sophia’s Children blog way back in 2006, in the early days of blogging, and after a year of leading two conversation forums on one of the social-networking pioneer sites, Ryze, and a wild and transformative intensive in France that occurred at the midpoint of the even wilder transformative ride that my life had become.
(I’ve hinted at it in a previous Sophia’s Children post here.)

Those early forums and that pivotal lived-experience evolved into Sophia’s Children, and Wisdom’s been brewing here ever since.
And lo and behold, the rumor on the street (well, certain streets anyway) has it that, after all of the seed-sowing, there’s a contemporary emergent Wisdom culture taking root, and spreading inward from the horizon’s edge (a.k.a. The Margins!). May it be so.
You’ll find a wide variety of Wisdom-related topics and themes explored here, from the wisdom of myth and archetype, the sacred Feminine and Masculine, and ancient wisdom and ancestral traditions from around the world; to bringing that timeless Wisdom forward into fresh expression now in every area of our lives (including wise leadership and the workplace).
It’s needed, and it matters — and you’re essential to Wisdom’s reawakening!
Chime in. Explore. Muse. Reflect. Remember.

Hi Jamie, I stumbled across your blog while reading your response to a post by Nadine Marie (Aligning With Truth) who I’ve been following.
