“We have a program called Discovering the
Total Self and I’d say more than sixty percent
of those who take the classes are there for
themselves, for their own spiritual health and
wellbeing; then there are those who come to
the school to pursue training in spiritual psy-

tual directors and spiritual coaching,” says
Riddell. “You can’t really help others if you
don’t know what’s going on with you. The
burnout rate is very high in health-related
professions. People have to understand their
own limitations and strengths ... our pro-
grams help them to identify and overcome
obstacles to their growth as well the tools to
achieve healing and have a greater quality of
health.”

what are called “divine practitioners” or “the
art of manifesting” which Riddell describes
as vital to increasing awareness and open-
ness to all that the universe provides as well
