June Week 3: Culture And Nature

Overview And Objectives

We all have to take our place in human culture. That is easier in some cultures than others depending on their health and whether or not the culture's values resonate with us. If they do not you can try to learn what you can from it, develop skills to earn a living and then try to locate the best way to express your gifts in the world.

In this week's information, we are looking at the need to integrate with your culture and how some fitting in is necessary to develop the skills to later become the visionaries we were meant to be.

Discovering And Adapting to Culture

In this course we talk about how adapting to the environment we are born into is a natural part of our development and beings benefits to ourselves and others.

We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails.
