Title: “Spiritual Practices, Discussion and Talk-Back”
Location: 31 West 1st Street, Cookeville, TN
Description: Many people want to grow and develop – to evolve! This is called many things: faith development, enlightenment, spiritual intelligence, awakening, emotional intelligence, spiritual growth, being “born again” and etc. In this area of spiritual growth we often try to “reinvent the wheel” not realizing that humans have been developing “technologies” and practices for spiritual development for several thousand years. What can we learn from those called “sages” or “masters” in this regard? - We will also learn the intimate connection between spiritual practice and social activism. I will offer a basic introduction to the idea of spiritual practices and give a bibliography for suggested reading.
