Sojourner Truth School for Social Change Leadership

We live in our stories. Our stories give us meaning and help shape how we see our world. They are our personal mythology. But when the story we live in is shaken up, when we lose a sense of meaning, we feel as if the past has pushed us out and are left anchorless, confused and lost. We are living in such a time today, a time of turbulent unraveling in our world, as each of us is called to birth a new story. In this course, you will be skillfully guided into 3 pillars of inquiry: Who are you today? Who are you seeking to become? How will you get there? Students will be introduced to dynamic new teachings on the transformational power of the new story in our world. They will discover the 3 foundational principles that are vital to creating a meaningful narrative for their lives; learn about the illuminating power of the Seven Lanterns as a blueprint to guide them in this inquiry and discover the potency of the gifts they carry that will support the journey. Through a transformative guided Future Self Dialogue, they will also connect with their dreams and visions, rather than the limitations of a weary past, as a clear path into the next chapter of their lives. They will now be ready to design their unique Map of Possibility giving them the tools to take inspired action steps into five areas of their lives. This visionary journey promises to be both sacred and strategic, offering a unique perspective on navigating times of uncertainty from a place of courage, commitment, and profound care for ourselves and our world. Each session will be a weaving of inspirational teachings and practices, reflective journaling, and dynamic dialogue in breakout rooms. This course is an invitation for students to arrive as storytellers ready to tell a new story; dreamers ready to dream a new dream; map makers ready to chart their own unique path, and alchemists ready to transform the grit of their past into the gold of a new vision.
