Personal Transformation

The process of personal transformation is one that is exclusive to you and can add deeper meaning to your life in big and small ways. Perhaps you have had much formal religious training over the course of your formative years and now feel that it doesn’t quite fit; or maybe you have found spiritual inspiration or leadership in your life to be lacking. You have already taken the first critical step to spiritual formation: recognizing the need and place for it in your life. Take the next step by using the Spirituality and Practice website as a resource for identifying the best methods and outlets for gaining a new sense of your personal spirituality.

Begin by taking our “Spiritual Rx,” a self examination of where you are spiritually and which schools of thought will help you along your path most effectively. This brief questionnaire first asks you to rank the practices and models that are important to you in your spiritual journey, such as the importance of the role of nature, or if your primary purpose is examining a higher power. The next step asks you to rank your general feelings toward different aspects of spirituality. Once you have honestly answered these questions—and remember, there are no right or wrong answers—this tool identifies some classifications of spirituality that may appeal to you.

Take a glance at the practices that are selected for you. If these do not seem to fit your idea of personal transformation, you can either retake the assessment or simply return to the main page of the site and browse all of our lines of practice.
