Study Groups

What is a Julian Teachings Study Group?

Have you ever participated in a book club or in a college study group for a class that you were taking? These get togethers aid the learning process, but also enable you to socialize with friends. The commitment to attend a meeting is often enough to motivate you to read a book, learn material that is interesting, or prepare for an exam.

How about a study group focused on Julian-based material? Many of us feel that this is an amazing way to not only review material that we were exposed to in the past but also to learn material that we missed while June Burke was alive.  In addition, it is a great way to expose friends to the Julian material for the first time. The Julian Teachings Advisory Group has a goal to get several on-going study groups started in 2024 as a way to promote the material that is now easily purchased from the Julian Teachings shop.

Forming A Julian Teachings Study Group

Have you considered forming or joining a Julian Teachings study group? It’s a great way to connect with like-minded people and delve deeper into the teachings. The primary goal of these groups is to foster learning, sharing, and personal growth among participants. Whether you’re new to the material or a seasoned practitioner, a study group provides a supportive environment for exploration and growth. Participation can be very easy, whether the group prefers in-person meetings or gathering by Zoom.

Suggestions for Success

We have some suggestions to promote a smooth study group experience:

  • First, we recommend that each group has a facilitator. Facilitators are encouraged to lead in a way that suits both their comfort and the group dynamics.
  • Once a facilitator is selected, the group can choose a workshop or book from the Julian Teachings Shop to study—or the group can choose to pursue their own Julian topic or idea.
  • Should the group choose a workshop or book, the chosen facilitator will receive the workshop’s audio recording and transcript (if available) or a digital copy of the book as a token of appreciation for their leadership. Other group members are kindly asked to purchase their own copies of the material.
  • The facilitator role can be rotated among group members for each new book or workshop studied, allowing for sharing of responsibility and diverse leadership styles.

Should you have any questions, comments, or observations, feel free to reach out to Camille. She’s here to assist you on your journey!
