Restoring inner peacewith Judy Greenberg
|
Inner peace is our true nature yet we often don't feel peaceful. The world around us is certainly reflecting that lack of peace.
During our time together we will explore what is in the way of each of us experiencing inner peace and some different ways of restoring it.
We will be guided by the principles of Rudolf Steiner's seven conditions of spiritual development and focus on both inner peace and peace with others; our contribution to peace in the world. These conditions are also the basis for personal transformation.
Restoring inner peace is an experiential process in which you will learn basic and practical tools for exploring and transforming inner dynamics.
Week 1: Self-care: Taking responsibility for my wellbeing
Week 2: Empathy: How conscious is my relationship to others?
Week 3: Reality of inner life: Thoughts, feelings, desires have an inner/outer impact
Week 4: Personal space: Taking care of my needs and considering those of others
Week 5: Steadfastness: Do my intentions and resolutions lead to action?
Week 6: Gratitude: Is my cup half-full or half-empty?
Week 7: Restoring inner peace: Living the 7 conditions
