This course explores how self-love is foundational to spiritual life and compassionate living. Across four sessions, it invites participants to embrace their identity as God’s beloved, reconnect with their true self, nurture their unique gifts, and practice self-compassion—especially in moments of emotional reactivity. Each session offers stories, scripture, and practical wisdom to help cultivate a deeper, grace-filled relationship with oneself.

Here's a preview of the first class:

For Groups: Frequently Asked Questions

This course is designed for group study. We've formatted the material so that you can begin at the next step—then pause at the end of each video lecture and talk about what you've learned. Pick and choose the videos you want or proceed in the sequence we've designed —your call.

Included are two manuals you may find helpful: a Facilitator's Guide and a Participant's Guide. Both contain helpful material for your learning, including tips, prayers and discussion questions for each lecture. You may want to print these out and make copies before you proceed. You will notice that each video features a brief introduction, which the leader or someone else might want to read before each lecture.
