Where am I going? What is my life about? What do I value? What gives me a sense of purpose? What is sacred, meaningful, of ultimate concern to me? What are my deepest longings? Have I forgotten the adventure I once planned, the dreams that guided me?

Join Sam Keen on the quest that begins when you open the secret window into your heart. Ask yourself the questions that recover the innocent eye of childhood — which sees wonder and magic in everyday life.

You will find in Sam Keen a sage traveler, the kind of person you meet on the road, in a café, on a beach, or trail who can tell you stories about places you have yet to see, help you imagine the path ahead, give you maps, and encourage you to undertake the great adventure.

The Sacred Journey is a personal adventure that many people are taking today because we live in a time of crisis when old myths, values, and world views are beginning to come apart at the seams. You will discover that your journey is one you must take alone, but that others have taken. As you learn to share your experiences and stories with your fellow travelers, you will find a new community of searchers.

In this program, you will discover how to:

  • Use a spiritual compass to find your way when you are lost
  • Cultivate silence and the art of listening
  • Realize the extraordinary depths in ordinary moments
  • Encounter the sacred in everyday life
  • Find a vocation rather than merely doing a job
  • Explore the spiritual dimension of sexuality
  • Become more compassionate and generous
  • Locate the symbols and stories that give your life meaning and purpose

Begin listening and you will find in the stories and ideas of Sam Keen a new perspective and reminders of things you understood when you were young — when you knew how to listen to your dreams and your body. You will find ideas to share with close friends, vistas, visions, and values to enrich your life. And most important, you will discover many things about yourself.
