Courses-OLD
The Clarion Way is based on the philosophical teachings as revealed in The Soul and Service Trilogy. The Trilogy provides the foundational teachings of the Institute for the Advancement of Service evolved by Susan Trout, over the many years since the Institute's founding in 1980.
Are you being called by the urgency of our time to serve from a place of wholeness?
The Clarion Way courses are conducted via email and phone or video conferencing and follow the framework of the three books in The Trilogy. Courses range from introductory to advanced levels, are of differing lengths, and include the unique element of one-on-one faculty support.
