Personal Development, Meditation, Awareness and Self-inquiry

Being Still Nurtures Your Essence

School for Wonder personal development mentoring gives you reflective tools for calming and reflection. Contemplative dialogue naturally slows the pace of conversation.

We ask you to pause frequently in order to scribe your words, and you have moments to re-frame the finish of your sentence. This often leads to deeper reflection and more meaningful realizations. We ask questions, and create transcripts of your answers, and the transcripts serve as a mirror for your personal development.

The meditative process of reflecting, pausing and scribing creates a natural rhythm of careful consideration. Your answers are slowed by the time it takes a mentor to write what you speak.

We share tea, silence, self-inquiry and conversation in most mentoring sessions. We invite you to expand your own appreciation for quiet time in daily life. You are not required to adapt your spiritual practice or values to School for Wonder methods or beliefs. Our goal is to expand whatever works for you into a more fulfilling context, by adding intuitive self-inquiry.

Whether you are new to contemplative learning, or already familiar with meditation, we style the inner exploration around your unique experience. How you bring it forward in the world will be genuine when you school for wonder with a mentor.

We notice how pausing to reflect creates a heightened sense of wonder. The hectic pace of our chaotic world continues, as we soften our inward gaze and allow thoughts to melt into the heart. We focus our attention on how the mind floats in spaciousness, as natural joy surfaces.

Self-inquiring meditation allows a natural progression for insight and growth to take place. Pausing to see our tendencies helps us notice how the mind wants authority all the time. Irrational thought invites us to be distracted by worry, self doubt, impatience, and attachment to ideas. We offer a practical alternative that shows you how to see yourself honestly now. Choosing to really change, and intending to create a more fulfilling life happens at your own pace. Realistic, practical applications of spiritual principles.

Mentoring in School for Wonder style deepens dialogue with loving, joyful presence, however you experience that. Self-inquiry and meditation combine the willingness to keep your spiritual values congruent with how you live in the world. Balance is our birthright. Regardless of who inspires you or which traditions speak to you, it is an honor to gain your trust in a spiritual exploration. We encourage your greatest joy.
