About the Course

What we’ll explore

🤝 In partnership with

Many of us have been trained to experience doubt as a distortion of belief; what occurs when we consider that doubt may actually be a portal—to self-clarity, to rest, to artistry. Whether you are doubting the divine or the self, if you are disillusioned with the world or its leaders, this three-session course will grant you permission to both name your discontent and reimagine it. Each class will be a combination of lecture, group discussion, and generative writing prompts. Together we will think through how we can locate a spirituality that feels honest and durable in these times.
