Crafting Your Credo

The word credo is Latin for "I believe." A personal credo is a statement of the principles and goals which guide the way you live your life.

In this class, you'll explore your heart's guidance to develop a clear personal credo. You'll learn about various faith styles and which one is closest to your experience. Are you a traditional believer, a spiritual eclectic, an ethical humanist, a religious agnostic, or a liberal believer?

You'll also complete the Spiritual Styles Profile to get a clearer picture of your archetypal spiritual learning styles. You'll better understand if your preferred spiritual styles include relationships, prayer, the arts, movement, contemplation, nature, wisdom, love, and mysticism. Your profile will help you create your own spiritual path and practices.

Many of us have been discouraged from stating our own perspectives on spirituality. This class will provide a safe and supportive space for you to find your spiritual voice and express who you are.

Classes will be held on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. on Zoom only.
