ENRICHMENT COURSES

Personal Enrichment & Integral Spirituality

Many people in our contemporary world are seeking a more inclusive, vibrant experience of life, as well as a deeper understanding of themselves and the complex world we inhabit. At One Spirit Learning Alliance, we understand that everything emanates from the energy and intelligence that burst forth thirteen billion years ago in the Big Bang. It is astounding to recognize that everything that exists today, the plants, the animals, the stars and each one of us, was enfolded in that first outpouring of energy. By whatever name we use, (Cosmic Intelligence, Essence, Buddha Nature, God, etc.) that first expression of energy must have had an intelligence embedded within. In the same way, the energy that arises in each of us contains an intelligence, if our containers are large enough to hold that energy until the wisdom reveals itself. Many of us today and the planet itself call for us to live from this place of wisdom.

We see no conflict between evolutionary unfoldment and spiritual presence. Our programs reflect this perspective by integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary knowledge which help us open our minds, awaken our hearts and embody that wisdom in everyday life.

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life: the Great Religious Traditions in the Light of Contemporary Knowledge encourages a direct experience of the mystical aspects of the world’s great spiritual traditions. The class explores the ancient teachings in the light of contemporary scientific and relational theories. Through experiential exercises, reading, lecture, and dialogue students build a trans-traditional understanding of the common ground beneath all the ancient paths and contemporary theories.

The Inner Journey from Me to We : Interfaith Perspectives on Purpose and Possibility focuses on the development of the individual, knowing that how we lead is determined by who we are. This course fosters your ability to grow deeper into your interior, more authentic, True Self. As your unique life journey has unfolded, your own unique psychological and spiritual issues have continually resurfaced in new ways. This course supports exploration of these issues so you may better understand your personality in the context of your True Self. You develop the ability to step back and witness your personality in action and in so doing, access your True Self and the wisdom to make wiser choices for effective action.
