Lorian Educational Forums

Lorian Educational Forums are complements to the Self-Directed Study Modules. They are hosted by the Lorian Center for Incarnational Spirituality and provide an accessible space in which you can interact live with members of the Lorian Faculty. During your investigation of one of the topics it is natural for questions to arise and it can be helpful to have a knowledgeable person with whom to converse. Faculty members may also suggest additional resources to help you as you integrate and apply the material.

And, there may be others who have asked similar questions. The forum provides a data base of questions and answers as well as the live component.

David Spangler is hosting four live forums for fall, 2009 covering all of his modules. The dates are:

September 11-20, October 9-18, November 12-21 and December 4-13
