[[Ground - An Allegorical Painting Story]] is the art experience that, in combination with Kathleen Wiley’s class on the body in individuation, led to the development of this curriculum.
Kathleen has six themes in her [curriculum](https://www.innerdivinespirit.com/online-sacred-circles). In her in-depth courses, she spends a month on each theme. I haven’t taken the courses so don’t know what’s in them. I’m simply using her six headings as my table of contents and populating them with activities I find from other resources. There's lots more to come. My intention is to have this Ground Curriculum fully populated by late March 2026.
Update: [[2026-01-24]] I’m adding a seventh theme to this curriculum, inserting it between Body Awareness and Relaxation. The new theme is Eugene Gendlin’s practice of felt sense and focusing.
