Interactive Courses (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced):
For eight weeks you'll get daily activities. Something new every day. You can move at your own pace. But plan on spending approximately 3 hours per week at the Cafe. Honestly, if you want to get anything out of the course you’ll have to dedicate some time. Some activities take as little as 5-10 minutes. Others may take up to an hour or so.
You can choose to do a little each day, or do a whole bunch at once.
If life gets in the way, you can always go back and get caught up. But you'll get most out of the Cafe if you show up consistently.
Some days you'll have a 2-4 minute inspirational story or metaphor to listen to. Other days you'll read a book chapter or short poem. Twice a week you'll roll up your shirt sleeves to go deeper and complete a writing or drawing activity.
You can spend as much time on the forum as you want, sharing and asking questions. Anita responds to all the comments. If you are not the chatty type, it's okay to just check out what others are saying. It's amazing what you can learn from other responses!
Here's what a week looks like:
-- Sunday: We read a chapter from Eating in the Light of the Moon. It introduces the topic for the week (20-30 minutes).
-- Monday: You'll get a short inspirational poem to reflect upon (2 minutes).
-- Tuesday: You'll listen to a recording of Anita telling and interpreting the story from that chapter (4 minutes).
-- Wednesday: You'll fill out a "story questions" worksheet so you can find how it fits for you personally (45-60 minutes)
-- Thursday: You'll get an audio metaphor to listen to (2-4 minutes)
-- Friday: We'll have a drawing or writing activity (45-60 minutes).
-- Saturday: You'll create "sacred space" with symbolic objects and a playlist of inspirational songs to listen to.
Self-study Courses: You can take as long as you like. There is no schedule to follow.
