Life Mapping
Life Mapping is an approach to spiritual discernment that grows out of the conviction that our outward journeys can also be seen as inward journeys.
The places we visit on our outward journey through life can become etched in our minds as markers or reminders of our inner spiritual journey by evoking memories of singular experiences that happened in these places where a surplus of meaning ushered us into that dimension or realm we call the spiritual.
This surplus of meaning can take many forms: it can be a sense of wonder, a glimpse into what can be described as the holy mystery of life and God’s creation, an awakening to a deep love that is self-giving and non-possessive, an experience of being called or converted.
Life Mapping begins with an honest examination into the deeper dimensions of life. Through the act of mapping, what will come out of that inward gaze will be a visual display of a portion of our spiritual life story.
I have found that in Life Mapping one’s life story can be claimed in a new and visually arresting way and then to see how this life story of ours can become a gift to others.
City & Spire currently offers Life Mapping as an in-person or online workshop. It will eventually be available as a workbook.
