OUR ACADEMIA
The Academia Serpentis is the primary educational body within our Order. The education provided therein is highly professional.
In the Ordo Adamantis Atri, education is not simply the transmission of knowledge — it is an initiatic journey. We learn not only with the intellect, but with the soul. Every lesson, every text, every moment of silence is part of a deeper unveiling: the rediscovery of the sacred within and without.
Our educational path is contemplative, symbolic, and experiential. We believe that spiritual wisdom cannot be memorized — it must be lived, embodied, and awakened through practice, contemplation, and sacred dialogue.
We do not aim to create believers — but conscious practitioners. Our model is not scholastic but initiatic: circular rather than hierarchical, poetic rather than polemical.
The true teacher is silence. The true test is transformation. The true degree is how deeply you are changed.
“To study is to remember what your soul already knows.”
OUR COURSES
Our Academy takes the form of a course of study with a free curriculum structure which aims to provide a method of analysis and all the theoretical premises necessary for understanding the complexity of the contemporary spiritual panorama. In order to complete his/her career in our Academy, the student must obtain 22 credits to be chosen among the proposed courses, plus the obtainment of a further 11 credits available in the extra-curricular activities.
The Academy is free for all canonic members of the Order and is a system designed to encourage both individual and collective study, research and analysis.
The teachings are made available by qualified teachers at a higher or university level who will take care of following each student in his training and educational path.
The Academy does not want to replace state or individual education, but instead wants to be a tool to integrate into one's path useful topics of historical-philosophical relevance.
Each course has a dedicated page on this website, to which the student will gain access after their subscription to the Academia. In this page, each scholar will find all the recorded lessons in addition to any useful informations to download additional material.
The liturgical education of our Order is divided into two part:
- A preparatory course on Latin Grammar which is mandatory for all those who want to access the liturgical seminar.
-The liturgical seminar, live streamed on demand.
