Foundations of Practice

These foundations of practice exercises will be the cornerstones of the work you do each month. As with any endeavor, discipline, structure and practice will produce the greatest results. As the months progress, other foundational practices may be added to these. As you progress through the work, not only will you be able to become more inclusive in your approach to the work, but what started as the simple foundations of growth will evolve and change in accord with your newly developed skill set and level of understanding. Whenever something new is added it will be noted within the study for that month and the link will be activated to that content.
