Finding Serenity

Life is full of endings, beginnings, and unexpected turns — moments when the familiar dissolves and we’re asked to grow. Finding Serenity is a ten-part journey into the heart of change. Through personal stories, reflection, and guided practices, you’ll learn how to quiet the survival brain, move from judgment into acceptance, forgive yourself, embrace vulnerability with courage, and discover wisdom rooted in love. This course offers tools for living with resilience and clarity, so you can experience the deepest truth of being fully alive.

Leçon 1: Serenity And Our Human Experience

This lesson explores what it means to be fully alive — and why it’s not easy. You’ll learn about the power of intention, meet the Serenity Prayer, and discover how serenity begins with openness to change, even when the survival brain resists.

Leçon 2: Serenity And The Survival Brain

Here we look at the “survival brain” — the part of us wired to resist change. You’ll discover its four key properties, how it shapes self-talk, and how to reclaim presence with practices like purge writing and mindful breathing.

Leçon 3: Serenity When Things Change

Change brings what Joseph Campbell called “the end of normal.” This lesson explores how judgment clouds serenity, how the Serenity Prayer acts as a compass, and how to recognize the perceptual filters that shape our experience of reality.

Leçon 4: Serenity In Acceptance

Acceptance is the antidote to judgment. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to spot judgments by the way they disturb your peace, how to practice simple tools for shifting into acceptance, and how discernment naturally follows once you’re grounded.

Leçon 5: Serenity In Coming Alive

What makes you come alive? This lesson explores how painful changes can hold gifts in disguise, why people-pleasing keeps us stuck, and how following your bliss opens doors to joy, courage, and authentic living.

Please note: This track may include some explicit language.

Leçon 6: Serenity In Taking Action Or Letting Go

Sometimes serenity calls us to act; other times to release. This lesson looks at both — from contrary actions that stretch us, to letting go of what no longer serves. You’ll see how even small “three-foot toss” steps can create real change.

Leçon 7: Serenity And Your Inner Child

Your inner child is a living part of you, key to your authenticity — tender, creative, and full of wisdom. This lesson introduces inner child work as a practice of re-parenting, bringing together your adult self and child self for healing, learning, and real integrity.

Leçon 8: Serenity And Self-Forgiveness

Self-forgiveness is a profound act of self-love. This lesson guides you through the process step by step, showing you how to release painful self-judgments, shift into compassion, and restore serenity when fear or shame disturbs your peace.

Leçon 9: Serenity And Courage

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to feel deeply and act from the heart. This lesson explores how vulnerability is our greatest measure of courage, and how authentic living inspires strength in ourselves and others.

Leçon 10: Serenity, Wisdom, And Higher Power

The final lesson turns to wisdom — the ability to pause, take dominion over the survival brain, and make heart-centered choices. You’ll reflect on self-knowledge, higher power, and the timeless truth that wisdom grows through love and connection.

So helpful pointing me towards clarification and healing ❤️

A wonderful course with a great structure. The fact that you spoke from your own experiences and shared it with us, made it even better as it was coming from the heart! This is by far the best course I have taken so far, and I cannot be grateful enough as I’m going through some tough time now. Thank you Paul for being my guide on this amazing journey, you are an inspiration to all of us! Much love and blessings ❤️

This has been an eye-opening journey into areas of my life I’ve neglected and put on the back shelf. Thank you, Paul, for sharing your journey, wisdom, personal stories and insights from the descended masters and modern wise ones. Finding serenity? It’s not lost. I just needed to get back to embracing and engaging that ultimate prayer of asking for wisdom to know what I can change and doing that. Namaste.

Paul, thank you for the gift of this course… I’m at a loss for the right words to express how moving, resonant and compassionate these lessons have been for me. I exited a long career in June and the ‘end of normal’ has been both challenging and exhilarating… some of the challenges I anticipated (the need to put effort into maintaining social connections); what I didn’t expect was how much time I’d spend examining my life, my choices, the stories the survival brain spins to keep me safe….and also stagnant. Many of your experiences resonate profoundly - living in a tiny house because I’m never doing long-term relationships again, becoming sober…. I’m going to borrow the aphorism from the last lesson (divine spirit is the structure etc) and put that up around this tiny house to help me remember what’s always been true. I’m deeply grateful for this course. Now I’ll have to check out your other IT offerings. 😊🫶🏻

This was such a great course. It included a path to finding serenity through teaching and practices and opportunities for reflection alongside hearing Paul’s story, which was shared with deep honesty, vulnerability, humility and a touch of humor mixed in. This all resonated with me so very much. Thank you and I will be on the lookout for more offerings from Paul!
