Why Practical Spirituality?
Grieving from today’s unprecedented losses and overwhelm from the onslaught of local and global crises has added to heightened stress in the lives of many individuals, families and communities.
In the midst of all that is swirling around us in our personal lives and all that is erupting in the world, it takes practical spirituality to help us experience a measure of emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
That is why we help people to overcome the hurts and harshness often experienced in life and to thrive in the truth that we have the emotional and spiritual resources to transform daily living to greater wholeness and peace.
How was Practical Spirituality developed?
Practical spirituality is an inter-spiritual life-empowerment approach that emerged from the personal and professional experiences of Dr. Cari Jackson over the past 40 years. To support her recovery from wounding and trauma and to (re)claim her own inner strength and authenticity, Spirit (God, Ancestors, and Guides) has guided Dr. Cari Jackson how to integrate wisdom from diverse spiritual practices with tools for emotional healing and empowerment.
More than 20 years ago, Dr. Cari began using and fine tuning these practical spiritual approaches in her work as a pastoral counselor and spiritual coach. That is, practical spirituality approaches are life-tested. Healing and transformation continues to unfold in countless lives impacted by spiritual talks, books, spiritual coaching, online courses, organizational consulting and more that have been developed by Dr. Cari Jackson and Rev. Carson Hawks.
