The Most Difficult Thing In Life Is To Know Yourself ~ Thales
Subtitle
Drilling
How do I know who to listen to ?
Why do relationships fall apart?
When do I know when to take a risk ?
The Heart and Soulof the Spiritual Development course is the
relationship between teacher and student – rich conversation and honest reflection
Semester Focus ~ “Dimensions of Self”.
Digginginto emotions, spirituality, physicality is confronting – reflecting on your intellect and considering where you ‘sit’ amongst
your peers socially adds to the complexity
Connecting to Self
…. finding your core - your foundation.... creates different challenges, different
conversations that go beyond the realm of lesson planning… exploring your inner
being inspires questions that, in the classroom, can be too often buried
amongst adolescent banter.
