We also offer a wide spectrum of seminars, classes, and meditation retreats designed to introduce people to a variety of spiritual disciplines including lectio divina, centering prayer, and Vipassana or insight meditation. Participants are encouraged to employ these methods in their daily lives. Many events that Pathways sponsors are certified to provide continuing education credit for California psychotherapists. Look under course headings on the events page or call us for further details. Finally, Pathways has recently begun to offer tapes and books of an enduring spiritual nature.
Pathways is a non-profit educational organization with a strong spiritual focus.
We are primarily interested in rediscovering meditative and mystical traditions and applying the resulting contemplative insights and practices to our individual spiritual journeys in a community of like-minded, loving, and mutually supportive people. We think this is best accomplished by transcending the divisions of doctrine and denomination that so often plague various religions through the development and encouragement of tolerance, understanding, and mutual acceptance. We are also interested in entering into an authentic and mutually respectful dialogue with other spiritual traditions, especially those with a strong mystical orientation. We believe such a dialogue can best occur within the framework of transpersonal psychology with its non-sectarian emphasis on consciousness and spiritual transformation.
