Each six-week unit is an opportunity to join with others on a private list serve moderated and directed by Thea Elijah.
Together we will:
- Practice specific exercises designed to help us cultivate and heal that season’s focus element in ourselves
- Use images from popular culture (movies, books, music, current events) to improve diagnostic recognition and explore range of expression of the season’s focus element
- Practice supporting the health of the season’s focus element in others (on a “me-first” basis) using the body language, voice and Transformation of Virtue skills we’ve been cultivating together.
- Engage in extended discussion of whatever comes up as we practice!
