What is Pathwork?

The primary goal of Pathwork is our realignment with God, Spirit, or however you might call the experience of a higher power. The Pathwork offers an experience of God that opens us to unification on all levels of our being.

In the Pathwork, we educate, mature and heal those parts of ourselves that have become split off, distorted and “lost”. With positive intention, focus, and identification with the Higher Self, we learn to open into our true nature and the treasure of our wise, loving, inner Self.

This is a path of self-knowledge, self-responsibility, and acceptance of our humanness. By working with our observer self to honestly face ourselves we learn to connect the cause and effect of various levels of our consciousness and behavior.

In developing our capacity to love, our sense of humor, the ability to allow ourselves and others the benefit of the doubt, and the flexibility to allow Higher Powers to guide us, we create a positive attitude that helps us to move through and heal the shadowy territory of our lower self and the wounds of our personality, ego, and soul. In our light and in the beauty of our own hearts, we become whole again by meeting and dealing with our inner destructive forces and by welcoming the lost and isolated parts of ourselves back home into unitive consciousness and positive reality.

Dr. Barbara Brennan Founder of Barbara Brennan School of Healer and author of Hands of Light

I have researched many spiritual disciplines, and attended a host of different personal development courses, but the Pathwork is the only one that touches my soul with the energy of Divine truth, the only one that defines a process for spiritual development that is at the same time logical, practical and grounded.
