What Makes a Practice Powerful?
Not everybody was taught truly nourishing spiritual practices growing up. For many of us, what we inherited was limited, inconsistent, or simply didn’t fit who we are or the lives we’re actually living. This course uses the metaphor of a tree (and a whole lesson on neuroscience) to show what makes practices powerful. With that simple, straightforward explanation you gain the ability to consciously build habits into your life that help you grow and thrive. Then, with eight different branches of practices to explore, you’re invited into a wide landscape of possibilities, encountering many kinds of spiritual practices you may not have considered before, so you can discover what genuinely works for you and/or your family.
Roots
Discover the mindsets that deepen any practice, the inner orientation that turns routine into real growth.
Fruits
Learn to tell whether your practices are actually nourishing you. Discover the specific positive changes research associates with powerful practices.
Possibilities
Explore branches, twigs, and over 130 leaves, concrete practices you can try, adapt, and enjoy.
Along with the core lessons, you’ll also receive bonus resources designed to help deepen your experience. Lessons include printable worksheets so you can see what you are already doing, guided journaling pages, and practice cards you can sort and discuss easily with others. These tools make it easier to reflect, experiment, and figure out what habits will make your life better.
