Discovering Your Truth

W12-S02
5 Wednesdays 7–9 p.m.
Feb. 29 through Mar. 28
$97 W&B members / $101 general public
Instructor: Brad Van Auken

Most people follow paths that are dictated by their parents, teachers, bosses, employers, the society within which they live, etc. rather than from within. Studies have shown that people who have discovered who they are and what drives/energizes them are much happier and more successful than those who haven’t. As Socrates said, ‘an unexamined life is not worth living.’ Yet many people never take the time to do just this. This course provides a journaling process that will help you discover and live your deepest truths.
