The 49 days between Passover and Shavuot are of enormous spiritual potency, known as “Counting the Omer”. These seven weeks are for soul refinement. It is a time of collective as well as personal journeying from our narrow places into the great unknown of who we want to become.
Your workbook also includes music and poetry.
Every Journey is About Moving From the Known to the Unknown
Some journeys you choose, other journeys choose you. Seeing your life right now as part of a spiritual journey can change everything. In Journey, we take the spiritual principles of the Exodus story and apply them to our own lives. This involves exploring how we move from what is known, into the wilderness of the unknown. The workbook helps you explore:
What journey are you on right now?
Who will you be on the other side of the unknown?
What have you learned from your past life experiences of confronting doubt and fear that you can apply now?
Where have you found joy and refuge amidst struggle?
This is rich soul work.
