This online learning journey will change the way you make decisions. . . for good!

  • Why is decision-making so difficult?

    Even the most spiritually mature among us can be easily undone by the inner tug-of-war we often experience when we're faced with life's tough decisions.

  • Developing a method can help.

    This very doable, easy to learn discernment method shows us how to quiet down enough to recognize four distinct voices of inner wisdom that serve us well when we invite them all to the table.

  • Learn at your own pace

    You'll receive weekly video teachings punctuated with real life examples, contemplative practices, and opportunities to apply the method to your own real life decisions.
