Spiritual Psychology presupposes a link between personality and soul via the heart.

This 6-Tuesday Evening Series will focus on enlivening the greatest aspects of our 

being in order to strengthen self-awareness, self-love, and creative self-expression. 

As we venture deeply into the world of virtues - from more common understandings 

to those that connect the individual to a greater whole - we will discover paths to 

a more joy-filled life. 

Each of Twelve Soul Virtues expounded in Ancient Wisdom will be deeply explored. 

We will compliment this wisdom with the findings and techniques of today's 

Positive Psychology.

Mindfulness and visualization techniques will bring us deeply into the heart. 

Participants will gain experience with holding opposites, paradox and tension. 

Without judgment, this leads to love.
