(In person only; limit 8 participants; Led by Stephen Schneider) Life Mapping is a creative approach to spiritual discernment that integrates mind, body, and spirit. This five-session workshop is designed for anyone interested in exploring their spiritual journey in a supportive setting.
The workshop centers on the creation of personal maps, representing times of heightened spiritual awareness and the places where these experiences have occurred. By tracing the sequence of spiritually significant moments in our lives, we can better chart the current and future shape of our spiritual exploration & development.
Each session will include a brief reflection on a sacred text, a presentation and discussion of key ideas in Life Mapping, and a mapmaking experience. The workshop will also include reading assignments and activities for participants to complete between the workshop sessions. Sessions are cumulative; participants should plan to attend all five.
