Who doesn't need some direction?
Has your life felt mechanical, monotonous or empty? Wondering if this is all there is? Have you been trying various forms of self-improvement but haven't noticed any lasting progress? Dominican Center at Marywood is offering two series of a three-level program called Spiritual Pilgrimage. See the summaries and program dates below, along with links to the Dominican Center at Marywood's online registration interface. If you prefer not to register online, you may also register for any of these programs by calling the DCM front desk at 616.514.3325. Once you have finished Level I, you may continue on to Level II and then Level III if you find that this is for you. The choice is yours and you are not committed to taking all three levels. However, Level I is a prerequisite to Level II and/or Level III. All classes are facilitated by board-certified psychotherapist and spiritual director Mark Walstrom.
Here's the Program
A Way: Out, Through and Into is offered this coming winter and spring as two series of the three separate levels of Spiritual Pilgrimage . These sessions run January through April of 2015; one in January/February and the other in March/April. This is a psycho-spiritual program that offers participants a simple, yet life-changing, process for moving out of limiting, painful ways of living and into more natural, authentic, transparent, and enlivening ways of being. The course draws on the inspiration and guidance of some contemporary sages who know this path intimately (Thomas Merton, Richard Rohr, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Mark Nepo). Through integrating spirituality with the social sciences we open up to a whole new way of being where we discover our deepest callings and true gifts.
