The Inward Journey – Self Guided

Have you ever thought about how your opinion of the “friendliness” of the Universe impacts your choices in life? Or what motivates you to take some actions and not others? Or how spiritual practice can enhance what Jesus called your “fullness of life”?

In this class, you will take an inward journey that might surprise and delight you as you pause and explore basic questions about how you view and live your life through the lens of the Christian wisdom tradition.

What topics are covered in this course:

• The Path and Practice of Christian Spirituality
• Our Framing Stories and the Impact on Our Lives
• From The Self We Became Instead to the Self God Has in Mind: True Self/False Self
• Exodus Story as our Story
• What Drives Us: Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places
• Spiritual Practice through Accessing the Aliveness of Our Three Centers of Intelligence

What is included in this course?
