Tapestry of Faith: Spirit of Life: An Adult Program on Unitarian Universalist Spirituality

Handout 4: My Spiritual Journey

Part of Spirit of Life

Draw a map of your spiritual journey.

Your spiritual journey began with your birth, and it leads to now.

Draw the high peaks, the low valleys, the plateaus where your life seemed to coast along, the deserts, the wilderness, or the oases.

You can show the twists and turns, the detours, the places where you were lost, the smooth pathways, the wandering road, the straight path, the renewing well springs. There may have been super-highways, bustling cities, rivers you had to cross. You may need to indicate road blocks, helpful signs, or stepping stones.

On your map, you can name mountains, valleys, or any locations or passages for the experiences you were having when you passed that way.
