Cultivating Wholeness: Five Elements for Healing
Hello, and welcome to this course, Cultivating Wholeness. What does wholeness mean? How can we cultivate wholeness within ourselves? We will seek to elucidate the mystery of wholeness by looking through the eyes and words of experts like existentialist philosopher Albert Camus, best-selling author Susan Cain, philosophy professor Kathleen Wallace, coach Brad Stulberg, and Yoga teacher Erich Schiffmann.
In this journey, you’ll be guided through practical and effective mindfulness exercises, frameworks, and tools from psychology, coaching, and spiritual practices to empower you to cultivate wholeness from deep within you. You’ll identify how being whole looks like and feels like for you, and tangible steps you can take on your journey to cultivate wholeness from within you.
This course was borne out of a conversation with a friend of mine. Much of our interactions have been influenced by our respective spiritual journeys and experiences as practitioners of Yoga, which can be found peppered throughout this course. I’m thrilled to dive in with you. This course will provide you with practical tools and tips to cultivate wholeness deep within you.
