Seeds of Wisdom
13-Week Email Course

Take a moment to re-connect with your reason/desire/impulse for signing up for this course. What were you saying to yourself (and to the witnessing Universe)?

• “I’m ready to grow.”

• “I’m prioritizing my spirituality.”

• “I want to know myself better.”

• “I want to learn new tools.”

• “I want a rhythm for self-care.”

• “I’m just curious.”

Whatever brought you here, I’m honored to be sharing this process with you.

Preparation

This preparation message talks about three important things that will help you get ready for the course.

1. The Basics: Basic information on what to expect each week of the course.

2. Your Altar: Guidance on creating an altar or dedicated spiritual reflection space.

3. Commitment: A tool for creating a strong container for your course experience.

1. The Basics

The course starts on Sunday — September 20, 2020. You will receive an email that introduces the wisdom theme for the week. There will be an image and brief description of the theme from the Seeds of Wisdom guidebook.

You will be encouraged to reflect on the theme in meditation and writing, and to creatively respond to the theme by placing symbols related to the theme onto your altar or dedicated spiritual reflection space. (What’s an altar? See below!) Each theme also will come with possible practices for bringing its wisdom alive in your life.

2. Your Altar

An altar is a place where you can externalize your spiritual experience. It is a “location” for spiritual practice — rather like your own personal, adjustable temple. If you don’t like the word “altar,” simply switch it for “dedicated spiritual reflection space.” I will use the word “altar” because it is shorter.

If you don’t already have an altar or dedicated spiritual reflection space, now is the perfect time to create one! Click here for full guidance on creating an altar for your 13-week experience.

The New Moon is coming up this Thursday, September 17. (You’ll be getting your second course preparation email this day, too.) New Moon energy supports new beginnings. You may wish to create your altar on Thursday to synchronize with that energy. But, truly, create your altar whenever it works for you.

3. Commitment

The coming New Moon is also a powerful time to make a commitment to showing up to your own process during the coming weeks.

The idea of commitment may feel scary, especially if you signed up for this course out of curiosity. Think of commitment as a container. Containers are supremely useful! If you don’t have a pot, you can’t cook your soup.

Containers have boundaries. This 13-week process has some built-in boundaries: we work with just one theme each week; there’s a start date; there’s an end date. Your altar is a “container,” too, with its boundaries in physical space. Commitment is a boundary in psychic space.

Your commitment — not to this course, but within this course — is a boundary that supports your spiritual growth. Whatever you were saying to yourself and the Universe when you clicked the Enroll button, here is a tool to help you move that intention into manifest form.

One More Thing!

Although this course is being delivered directly to your email inbox, there’s also a web page with an index of the course content. After each email has been sent, it will also be accessible here:

Look for the next preparation email on Thursday, September 17.

Blessings,
Elka
