HUMANITAS
a 4-week quest
BEING HUMAN + BEING HUMANE
Join me in my 4-week quest…
HUMANITAS
It’s a small group journey designed to…
… help you stand in your truth and your greatness—while also honoring your fellow human beings—in this strange, polarized, divided, and profoundly imperfect world.
… be inspiring, illuminating, liberating, reorienting, and transformative.
The next quest runs:
Day: Tuesdays—4 in a row
Date: August 1 - 22 2023
Time: 7-9pm EDT
HUMANITAS is…
• … an opportunity to get to know yourself better for the purposes of being able to understand others better.
• … a context in which we will examine human difference and othering. Our own AND that of other people.
• … an invitation to plug into a deeper understanding of your journey of being human, while also prioritizing being humane, and remembering all the while that you are a spirit having a human experience.
• … a container in which you will learn to *be the change you wish to see in the world*.
• … a chance to grow in your understanding of who you are for the purposes of moving toward greater self-actualization.
• … a place to expand your benevolence, compassion, empathy, acceptance, and love… for yourself AND for your fellow human beings.
• … an opportunity to heal, reorient, and be more empowered in your relationships to yourself.
• … a loving finger pointing you toward ways to unmoor from wounds, habits, and limited beliefs that are holding you down… and perhaps also causing you to hold others down as well without having any idea of it.
• … guidance on how to hone your ability to navigate other people and “differing ways of seeing” with dexterity and grace.
• … a permission slip to take on the challenges of life on this planet—including its many vexing problems—with confidence, courage, vision, and aplomb.
• … a place to peer into the unknown and the mystery and thereby make sense of the chaos our world has fallen into.
HUMANITAS will…
•… equip you to navigate with ever greater aplomb the unique complexities and challenges of life on planet earth at this time.
• … assist you in relating more masterfully with other people, intimates and strangers alike, individuals and social groups alike.
• … help you improve your relationship with life itself so you can live your best life, even in tough times.
• … enable you to will feel better within yourself as a default, and wellness is the ultimate.
• …provide you with tools to be able to live with a deepened sense of purpose, meaning, clarity, and confidence.
Join me on this powerful 4-week adventure. You will shift your outlook, your presuppositions, and your priorities, fruitfully and effortlessly. And you will become more “plugged in,” more connected to yourself, as if a cord were finally—sweet relief—placed in its rightful socket.
Want to know if you are a fit for HUMANITAS?
You are on a spiritual journey.
You are a lover more so than a fighter.
You are an alchemist more so than an activist. If you do have an activist bent, it’s squarely of the “sacred activist” persuasion.
You are curious and thinkerly.
You love a quest and an inquiry.
You love to learn and grow and develop yourself.
You have a natural inborn wisdom.
You care deeply about the state of the world.
You are pretty sure there are spiritual solutions to our social problems and you tend to raise your eye brow at the way “solutions” tend to be handled here on planet earth. Because you’re not a fan of bandaid solutions.
You have a sense of humor and a measure of good ol’ fashioned irreverence within you and can laugh at life’s absurdity.
Who should NOT sign up for HUMANITAS?
• I wouldn’t join if you already have all the answers and if you already feel you have all the solutions to the world’s problems. Because in that case you certainly wouldn’t need this course.
• I wouldn’t join if you consider applying spiritual solutions to social problems a form of “spiritual bypassing.”
I wouldn’t join if you are put-off by all things “woo-woo.”
I wouldn’t join if you like things fixed and firm and set in stone. This is a discovery journey we’re embarking upon, an exploration, a QUEST, every bit as much as it’s a “learning journey.”
I wouldn’t join if you see things in black or white, in either/or. We will definitely be immersing in the complexities, layers, ambiguities, and paradoxes of things.
I wouldn’t join if you are mired deep in an anger stage about the ills of this world. I honor you if that’s where you find yourself, because there’s certainly plenty to be angry about. But this course isn’t designed to pull people out of despair or depression or rage. I’d wait to take it until you’re a little more open, a little more healed, and a little higher up the emotional spectrum.
