Greg’s Story: Meet your Teacher
Do you wake up in the morning and long to make a positive impact in the world? Do you sense that peace, joy, and contentment are all possible in this life, even when the world is in fast motion around you?
In this video you will meet Greg, your instructor. You will hear his story of longing to make an impact for good, longing to experience peace, joy, and contentment, but being confused by a reality that felt more like running on a hamster wheel toward burnout and exhaustion.
With guidance from the content in this course (and inspiration from his wife!), Greg found a chair. And with a place to sit, be still, and practice contemplative spirituality, he started to experience a transformation. The world remained in fast motion, but the stillness Greg found in his chair started to ripple out into the rest of his life.
We hope this course will help you find your chair so that you too may step off the hamster wheel and connect more deeply with God and self.
“Through this coursework, we do want to give you an intellectual framework that is resonant with your heart and mind and that we’re a place where you can hang your experiences, but we also want to equip you with spiritual practices that create space for you to really transform yourself. Not from the outside, but the inside out.”
