LEARN TO DISCERN: HOW TO MAKE WISE DECISIONS
Hartford International University and the Spiritual Life Center (West Hartford) will once again partner to offer the five-session program called “Learn to Discern”. This program introduces you to the process of discernment and helps you to apply it to decisions you may face. The program leaders will make presentations and provide printed resources on the following topics:
I really want to serve God, but I am not sure exactly which role God is calling me to: Pastor? Chaplain? Educator? How do my personal life and my need for income fit in with my studies? I’m really confused! Can anyone help me sort this out?
We all face a number of very important decisions—decisions that affect the course of our lives. Discernment is a time-honored spiritual practice that helps us listen to the Divine and to our hearts as we explore choices we might make.- Forming the question to be discerned
- Prayer practices for discernment
- Dimensions of human experience to consider
- How values and principles can guide us
- Making a wise choice
- Confirming the outcome
We will form discussion groups consisting of about five participants and an experienced leader. These groups will help you focus your question and explore relevant factors. You may share as much or as little with the group as you wish. We will meet from 7 to 8:30 PM on Thursdays, 9/29, 10/20, 11/3, 11/17, and 12/1 of 2022.
Learn to Discern will be facilitated by Ann Auerlich, Dr Agnes Curry, and Rev Oscar Brockmeyer--all experienced spiritual companions. The program is offered free to prospective and current students of HIU as a non-credit, co-curricular opportunity. Former students may also enroll with if space permits. We ask former students to contribute $85.
