Sacred Journeys Groups

A life-altering spirituality is more simple and accessible than you think.

This 7-month, small group focuses on 7 spiritual pathways that lead us to

fret less, trust more, and experience an inspired level of living.

The Sacred Journeys Groups

Spirituality is a life-long journey that impacts our moment-to-moment lives. It enlivens us in the best of times, and guides and supports us when times are hard.

A life-altering spirituality doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t have to be only reserved for saints. The map we will follow will cover 7 sacred journeys. Each journey is illuminated by

  • 1 image that symbolizes the stage

  • 3 core concepts that define what’s unique to stage

  • 3 steps that support moving through the stage

  • 1 practice to anchor the learning

  • A Homecoming that indicates successful navigation of that stage of the journey.

By paying attention to and practicing these 7 pathways more peace and purpose are within reach.

By the end of the 7 sessions, you will have 21 steps and 7 practices that clearly define what it means to live in a spiritually aligned way.

I have participated in two groups with Scott and have been deeply nourished by both of them. Scott’s gift for weaving powerful spiritual ideas and practices into a group experience unleashes an energy that can feed and enliven your soul. I know it has mine.   - David, Minneapolis, MN

 

I was looking for a way to grow and invigorate my spiritual practice. The journey has been powerful. Scott is a gifted spiritual guide and weaves together a rich combination of ideas, practices, reflections and a group interaction to share the experiences! Well worth the investment for my spiritual growth and journey.   - Diane, Bloomington, MN

 

Thanks to you and the 4th Way Group.  I had no way of knowing when the group started that I would end up where I have always been headed. You have provided a sacred container and I am now able to see my way clearly. Thank you for your support and insights. Your comments warm my heart.   - Maribeth, Silver City, NM

How it works

Each of the 7 group sessions is a deep dive into these 7 journeys. Each session will include

  • Centering/meditative times

  • A teaching that explores the core concepts, steps, and practices that lead us to a homecoming with our deeper selves

  • Small group reflection times

  • A time for personal sharing

  • Partner conversations that occur between our session to deepen the learning and reflection.

An Example: The Ego Journey

  • The image is a Chrysalis

  • The Core Concepts:

    • Appreciating and managing reactivity

    • Navigating the Awareness Continuum

    • Understanding Ego Mirroring

  • The Steps

    • Identifying our core reactive patterns

    • Manage emotions into a higher, healthier range

    • Embracing the spiritual practice of acceptance

  • The Practice: The Welcoming Practice

  • The Homecoming: Self-worth
