Discerning the Call of Spirit in Your Life

[Tracy Hanger-Hoffman]

Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me? What is it, in my heart, that I MUST do, be, and have? And why? What is that mysterious contribution to my life that goes beyond heredity and environment, beyond nature and nurture? How does Spirit collaborate to influence my life's path? From the writings of James Hillman, Parker Palmer, Viktor Frankl, Joseph Campbell, and others, we will explore these questions and consider possible applications to our own life circumstances.
