Cultivating Curiosity: Making Heart-Centered Decisions in Transformative Times
With Nicki Nelson and Becca Langhough
August 29 - October 31, 2026
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
– Howard Thurman
This five-session program is designed for anyone who wants to be intentional about the decisions they make within their lives and the process by which they make them. While drawing on the spiritual tradition of discernment and the practice of compassionate curiosity, this program will invite participants to connect with the Wisdom that resides deep within, so that they can emerge with greater clarity, purpose, and courage as they take the next steps on their journey.
The program spans approximately 10 weeks and includes five on-line group sessions, weekly reflection activities, and an hour-long individual discernment conversation with a facilitator. Group sessions typically include a mix of presented material, contemplative practices, and small group conversations. In addition to the five group sessions, this program includes an hour-long individual discernment conversation with a facilitator to be scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time.
This program is open to anyone who is navigating a life transition, a major life decision, or simply hungry to explore love-based decision-making processes that will support them on their life’s journey. In addition, this program is a required pre-requisite for anyone applying to the Spiritual Guidance Training Program (SGTP). For those who are interested in the SGTP, there will be two designated bonus sessions to discuss questions about the program.
