I offer this Guide to the Inner Work of transformation for individuals and communities who have reached a crossroads in life and are looking for ways to bring forth new life through processes that promote deep change and transformation.
It is for those who recognize that the heart of such efforts is a spiritual journey..
It is written for any group that is facing a crossroads and seeking new life through transformative processes.
In fact, I would believe it is suitable for churches, leadership teams, and non-profit organizations, any group for whom their mission (not money) is the bottom line.
Consequently, I believe that the material is suitable for communities of any faith.
However, I include materials and quotes from a variety of other faiths and people of wisdom.
It is written primarily for faith communities and you will find that many of the reflections, poems and quotes I use are Christian.
The communities whom I have been accompanying, and who have engaged in this Inner work, have found it to be integral to their larger Journey of Transformation.
However, it is one way that I have found to be highly effective.
I do not presume to think that what I am offering is the only way that such Inner Work can be done.
There is no such thing.
It is meant to be a resource, not some kind of seven-point program for guaranteed transformation.
This book provides a series of reflections and suggested processes aimed at helping those who wish to do this kind of soulwork.
I indicated in that foundational publication that this companion book on the Inner Work of transformation would follow.
The foundations for my Work on Personal and Communal transformation was recently published in a book entitled, Graced crossroads: pathways to deep change and transformation.
As a group, they are going through an enormous transition and I have accompanied many of them through what I call a Journey of Transformation.
My ministry over the last few decades has been primarily with Catholic religious communities.
In essence, this Guide is for all those who want to proactively cooperate with grace by doing the soulWork of deep change and transformation.
It represents the kind of soulWork I believe is too often neglected but nonetheless essential to the successful transformation of communities and the individuals who reside in them.
