Self-Awareness & Self-Disclosure
The Beginning of Wisdom: Know Thyself
In our community we’ve worked hard to understand and update those ancient practices that develop self-awareness. We’ve deconstructed and reconstructed the ancient practice of confession. It’s not about being forgiven for our bad days. It’s about understanding them, and why they happen.
What we call “doing a worksheet” is one of the more transformative spiritual practices we know. Download and read the worksheet. It’s a guide to help us see and understand the thing under the thing—under why we do the things we do.

Workshop & Group Formation
A couple times a year we do workshops on self-awareness, and conflict resolution. After the workshops we form six-week groups to practice the skills we learn together. It’s a fun way to integrate essential spiritual learning into our daily lives. We become friends, as we’re getting better at the arts of storytelling, and listening, and discerning the thing under the thing—the unconscious drivers of our words, thoughts, and actions.
