This 5 week series explores fundamental tools of spiritual discernment. Each participant is encouraged to find and rely on their own inner spiritual authority, taking time to sort between spiritual experiences that proved helpful and those that were either irrelevant or damaging to their spiritual growth. Participants will be equipped to evaluate their past, present, or future spiritual pursuits, deciphering whether they ring true to one’s own experience and personality.

April 29: Getting to the Questions
May 6: Tools of Spiritual Discernment
May 13: True Self/False Self
May 20: Prayer, Meditation, Integration
May 27: Re-Examining the Questions

SoulVentures operates outside formal religious traditions and structures, and welcomes people from all spiritual traditions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. The discussions throughout this series are guided by the belief that spirituality is natural and innate to each person and is best cultivated within their own experience. To keep the atmosphere affirming and safe for all, participants are encouraged to freely share from their personal experience, while respecting others’ diverse experience and perspectives. Attempting to convert another is not permitted.

Suggested donation: $50 for the series; all are welcome regardless of ability to contribute financially.
