What is Included:

Session 1: The Common Thread

Even though we don’t speak the same language or perhaps look the same, there is a fundamental state of being that all humans share. What is that common thread?

Session 6: Building Community

Building a community is a process, and all our actions matter. They have a ripple effect, impacting others. Does acting with wisdom and compassion make a difference?

Session 2: Perfection and Pursuit of Happiness

An imperfect process does not produce a perfect result. Gaining true happiness depends on engaging true methods. How do I understand perfection?

Session 7: Focus on the Process

One small action on the path can have a big impact on the result. It can bring pain or happiness. How do my choices affect the outcome?

Session 3: Putting the Pieces Together

We each hold a piece that is indispensable to completing the giant puzzle of life. How can I contribute my piece to make the world a better place?

Session 8: Our Shared Experiences

When we understand the four phases or experiences of life, we can better understand how to support ourselves and others. What are the four phases?

Session 4: Independence and Interdependence

There is no community without individuals, their views and creative thinking. And individuals need community to thrive. How do I engage as an individual in the greater community?

Session 9: The Power of Our Actions

All our actions and reactions create our world community. How we react is our choice, and our actions affect the result. What tools help us make positive choices?

Session 5: The Many Versions of Self

We have many interconnected versions of ourself: one for social media, one as a parent or child, another for our profession. Yet which is our true self? Am I an independent individual?

Session 10: Overcoming Challenges

We typically react, not respond, to an action. If we aren’t clear about how we react, then it is difficult to overcome challenges. Can I pause and reflect before responding?,
