Notes from Joseph Regarding our Teaching PhilosophyHmm. I can’t say that we have one, per se, except that we prefer to let the students lead us where they want to go. As one of my teachers said to me at our first meeting, “I hope you can teach me what you want to learn.” I can offer that we have been taught that a great gulf can exist between what the student believes is important and worth learning and what those sharing their experience believe is important and worth learning.

I Am Not LostFor about a year now, I’ve been studying the Practice under the tutelage of Joseph. And almost a year to the day from when I officially started (technically 11 months), I have discovered my path, my gift. One of the goals of the exercises in the Practice is for you to use your gifts voluntarily and to discover them on your own. The gifts or talents are always there, waiting to be recognized, developed, and used. A good Teacher will lead you to that door. |
As always, you can find all our blogposts on the DiscoverThePractice.com Blog page. |
