**SPRING SESSION**
Intro to Wisdom Work
Tuesdays, March 21 - April 11 at 6PM PST
In the class, we will review the major concepts of Wisdom Work:
a) the constant work of forming a vision for every important aspect of your life
b) marshaling the will to achieve that vision
c) developing specific skills to achieve the vision, based on your personality and the nature of resistance we encounter, and
d) creating a practice of evaluating this work.
We will also study the procedure of mastering Wisdom Work:
a) Virtue (restraining bad habits, cultivating better habits)
b) Rationality (understanding our own inner lives and what happens between us and others), and
c) Applied Wisdom – managing our inner life's ego states and processing well with others.

**SPRING SESSION**
Managing Ego States
Intermediate & Advanced Wisdom Work
Wednesdays, November 9 - December 14 at 7PM PST
The Intermediate-Advanced seminar in Wisdom Work relies on a basic understanding of Wisdom Work, as described in the Ongoing Seminar.
In this seminar we will address the specific problems of working with negative ego-states, arrayed in the Unconscious Ego-Self. We will refine the process of accessing the many levels of the Higher Self (Observer Mind, Objective Mind, Rational Mind, Truth Mind), and from there exerting insight, intervention and transformation of ego-states.
Some of the negative ego-states we will address are anger, aggression, resentment, guilt, shame, anxiety, irrational obligation, envy, chronic ambivalence, and victim mentality. The power of negative ego-states can be reduced by a unique kind of “Self Talk” – the higher self in discussion with ego-states. We will work on cultivating positive ego-states such as love and compassion, good boundary setting, insight, thinking and reasoning well, courage, and honor.
