ConnectIONS Live!
In times of intense stress, a miraculous transformation sometimes occurs: the death of an old identity and the birth of a new, spiritually awakened self. For 15 years, transpersonal psychologist Steve Taylor has been researching cases of spontaneous spiritual awakening triggered by intense psychological turmoil. In this webinar, he will share his findings.
Extraordinary Awakenings – When Trauma Leads to Spiritual Transformation
Friday, October 1, 2021
11:00am – 12:15pm Pacific
In this webinar, Steve will share examples of extraordinary awakenings from his research and explain why intense suffering can lead to spiritual growth. He will also offer insights from his research, along with actionable principles that we can apply to our own spiritual development. At the end of the webinar, Steve will lead a meditation and exercise to provide a hands-on experience of how we can harness the transformational power of crises and turmoil in our lives.
