The Jacoby/Gindler/Selver work offers an excellent practice for this, but without any religious exaggeration and paternalism, without fixed beliefs. The Jacoby/Gindler/Selver work (hopefully) does not create dependency, it offers a faith-free, autonomous practice for self-discovery. As Charlotte said: this work can change your life." - adapted from Hannes Zahner
