Soul Keeping:

Tending the inner life

Wednesdays starting  9/9, 7:00 Pm - 8:30 Pm

Online

In a world marked by urgency and fragmentation, tending one's inner life becomes essential. Soulkeeping offers a spacious, grounded environment in which participants can reconnect with their deepest selves and rediscover the sacredness of their own lives. You are invited to grow in self-awareness, practice self-compassion, experience relational spirituality, and learn to be more deeply present.

Over the course of the year, you will learn to engage your own inner complexity with curiosity rather than judgment. You will develop practices that settle the body, surface what is hidden, and open space for deeper awareness. You will explore your own spiritual values, beliefs, and callings, and begin to build a personal set of practices and rhythms that sustain you. And you will do this alongside others who are walking the same path, learning to relate with honesty and vulnerability in a community that holds that kind of openness with care.

Between sessions, you will engage in short, meaningful online discussions that carry the work forward. Each month, you will also receive an hour of individual spiritual direction from one of the experienced directors in the Spiritual Life Center's community. This is not a program you move through alone. It is held within a supportive community committed to doing the inner work together.

Soulkeeping was jointly developed by the Rev. Oscar Brockmeyer and Dr. Brian Clark of the Spiritual Life Center, along with Dr. Janet Fuller, Co-director of Hartford International University's MA in Chaplaincy. The program seeks to enroll both HIU students and members of the Spiritual Life Center community, with the goal of mutual enrichment. Future cohorts will be priced to reflect the full scope of the program.

For those exploring chaplaincy, Soulkeeping may also serve as a pathway toward chaplaincy endorsement. Please contact us for more information about this developing opportunity.

Cost:
For this, our pilot year of Soulkeeping, the cost will be $900 for the entire year.
