Cultivating Curiosity: Making Heart-Centered Decisions in Transformative Times

This five-session program is designed for anyone who wants to be intentional about the decisions they make within their lives and the process by which they make them. Drawing on the spiritual tradition of discernment and the practice of compassionate curiosity, this program will invite participants to connect with the Wisdom that resides deep within, so that they can emerge with greater clarity, purpose, and courage as they take the next steps on their journey.

In addition to the five group sessions, this program includes an hour-long individual discernment conversation with a facilitator to be scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time.

This program is open to anyone who is navigating a life transition, a major life decision, or simply hungry to explore love-based decision-making processes that will support them on their life’s journey. In addition, this program is a required pre-requisite for anyone applying to the Spiritual Guidance Training Program (SGTP). For those who are interested in the SGTP, there will be two designated bonus sessions to discuss questions about the program.

Focusing: The Art of Compassionate Listening

During this weekend workshop, we will explore how our bodies teach us wisdom about how we really are. The Focusing process helps our mind listen to the wisdom of our body. In any situation, our body is sending information. Many of us don’t know how to open our minds to this information because it doesn’t follow the same logic as our cognitive mind.

We have deeper wells of knowledge within us than we consciously know. Focusing helps to give us access to all of it. It is the bodily knowing. Included in the retreat will be input on the topic, reflection time, practice and large and small group discussion. Come learn the wisdom of your body!
