Soul School – Lesson 8

This Soul School is about the habits in your habitat. We need them to keep us from unnecessary stress and extra thinking. The habits we need to break are the ones that stop us from being numb and to help us start to see the people nearest to us again.

The challenge (“home work”) in this soul school is to thwart an unhelpful habituation and to reengage someone you’ve stopped noticing, hearing, or seeing in your world like a neighbor, family member, co-worker, or someone in your ordinary day. But there’s more….

Listen to find out.

SOUL SCHOOL comes out every other WEDNESDAY.

Soul School – Lesson 7

If you’re visiting the website today, thank you for stopping by!

I have two announcements.

Tomorrow, if you come back here at 8 pm, there will be a live webinar style discussion on maintaining gratitude all year long. My colleague Chris Shea and I invite you to join us for that.

Second, my other colleague James Prescott and I invite you to play with us starting December 19th at our online Christmas party! We are inviting creators, like you, from all over the world to create with us all year long in a project called synCREATE. Check out the tab above for more information on that.

Now on to Soul School!

Soul School – Lesson 6

This lesson is called:
“The Stories We Accidentally Tell About Ourselves”

I tell you stories about me and you tell me stories about you. What if we listen harder and add new chapters to redeem our stories and add more renewal, authenticity, and hope?

Thank you for listening today.

Please let me know if you like these short weekly lessons, or I should improve them or remove them from the podcast line up. I’ll happily take your feedback.

Soul School – Lesson 5: Would you be Offended if…

Welcome back to another Wednesday edition of Soul School. This one is called: Would you be Offended if I said you got Offended Way too Much

I hope you’re enjoying them. Just a reminder that these will continue until the end of 2015. If you enjoy this short format and these “lessons” let me know and I’ll keep them coming. I’ve heard from some of you and the the downloads are higher than I expected, but I may need some convincing to keep them going on a regular basis.

Tell me which one have you liked the best or which one has stood out the most?

Is there a topic you should I cover?

Send in your questions if you’d like.

Soul School – Lesson 4

This episode is called Shift for Homecoming

When the people closest to us don’t seem to understand us at our deepest level and in other ways we can start to feel deeply disconnected and become weary in our soul.

We are actually longing for something we might not realize…homecoming.

If you think I should continue these short weekly lessons, please let me know. I’m testing out this format until the end of 2015 and letting you decided.
