The Transformative Studies Program, the next generation of The Intelligent Optimist’s highly successful Course in Spiritual Healing & Transformation, launches in January 2015.
With it comes the chance to transform yourself and the world around you. To live fully in possibility. To chart your course toward your dreams. And with our 30-day moneyback guarantee, it’s risk-free!
The new yearlong program draws on elements of our current course, while helping you dive deeper into the self-inquiry and cultural creativity of a real intelligent optimist.
The 2015 program will connect a passionate community of lifelong learners to:
- Teleseminars with visionaries and changemakers around the world
- Hands-on workshops designed to create personal growth and social change
- Discussion and debate in our online community, The Incubator
- A new way of inhabiting the world
To give you a glimpse of what this looks like in real life, we chatted with three students from the current course in transformation. Here’s what they have to say about it:
Transformative studies can help you get more in touch with yourself
Meet Michael.He’s a self-described wonderer and a wanderer. His whole life he’s been searching for something, looking for missing pieces and a fuller understanding. Nothing in particular was noticeably absent, yet he had a sense that there was something more (something great!) to discover.
Now, after participating in The Intelligent Optimist’s course in transformation, he’s uncovered a sense of meaning and feels more whole and empowered in life.
The course helped me gain access to my bigger self. It allowed me to feel more deeply connected with myself, and a greater capacity to connect with those around me. I highly recommend this coursework.
Unlock the power to live the life you want
Kazimira is an artist and entrepreneur. She came to the 2014 course in transformation with an interest in starting her own business within a new paradigm. She credits the course with helping her to rethink her approach to both her personal and professional life.
The course made me feel my own power and realize what I’m good at. And it’s helped me develop a different way of making relationships.
Kazimira also admits she was surprised to learn so much from other students in the online learning community—the internet-based discussions were much more impactful than she had expected, and she found them to be not only a profound inspiration but also a real, important community in her life.
Shed excess to uncover a fuller, more vibrant self
Since she retired from teaching, Kathleen has had the goal to simplify and let go. I want to shed what’s too much and not me anymore, she says. And I’ve made significant progress. As Kathleen has worked to build a creative personal space free of excess, she’s begun exploring new ideas to connect with her truest self.
I need to integrate who I am and what I know, to find what I have to offer the world.
She says she’s not done with her work, but is not as concerned about perfection as she used to be. She’s embracing this time of personal growth—and reveling in it with the cohort she connected with through the course on transformation.
And she was the first student to sign up for the Transformative Studies Program, along with many other students from this year’s course. Join them!
