Journey to the Sacred:
A Six-Week Writing Pilgrimage

Where Is the Sacred in Your Life?

In a society that values wealth over wisdom, ambition over contentment, and status over authenticity, many of us lose track of the sacredness in our lives and its vital importance to our well-being. But what exactly do we mean by the sacred? Does sacredness require religious faith or is it a personal thing? Is the sacred confined to “spiritual” spaces or is it a ubiquitous quality in everyday life? According to Mark Matousek, “When we touch the sacred, we come alive, regardless of how and where we find it.”

This course will help you discover—and cultivate—the sacred in your life. These six lessons will guide you to remember the connection you once had to a deeper source of meaning and faith. Your heart will feel fuller and your body lighter once you tap into this deeper pool of wisdom.

This Six-Week Course Is Only $67

In this six-week course, Mark Matousek will guide you in discovering your own relationship to the sacred and its transformative impacts in everyday life. Each lesson begins with an insightful essay from Mark that will open your heart and stir your own reflections, followed by a series of writing prompts to help you explore the sacred in your own life. Your responses to these provocative questions may surprise you! Mark’s Writing to Awaken method helps to reveal knowledge that is already inside you, providing life-changing insight into what you value, where you’re wounded and in need of healing, what you want from yourself and others, and how deeply you are able to love.
