You Will

Create Your Contemplative Toolkit

Throughout this course, you'll develop a personalized toolkit of contemplative practices and meditations. These tools will help you navigate daily challenges, fostering a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. Whether you need to calm your mind, process emotions, or reconnect with your body, you'll have a range of practices to support you.

Deepen Your Understanding of Interconnected Practices

In this course, I will provide details illustrating how a variety of contemplative practices are related to each other. We'll explore how these practices can be better understood through the dynamics of our personal relationships and lived experiences. This holistic approach will help you see the interconnectedness of these practices and how they can enrich every aspect of your life.

Grow Your Intuition and Mind, Heart, and Body Integration

By listening to what our mind, heart, and body have to say, we begin to live a more connected life. Reflect on how you operate in the world. Are you someone who is often in your head? Do you feel a deep emotional connection with others? Or do you notice your feelings and emotions in your body first? Awakening to how God speaks through these Centers in the silence beneath our thoughts, the emotions of our heart, and the sensations in our body is valuable on our spiritual journey. This awareness can help maintain a consistent meditation practice, breaking cycles of frustration and creating space for grace.
