12 Written Lessons
The course is composed of 12 lessons leading towards understanding the inner development path and how to utilise the various methods of self-assessment to gauge for yourself where you are in this work and what you may need. There will be practical exercises suggested each month, so you can have direct experience as well as the opportunity to reflect on how the content resounds for you. This will help to deepen your individual insight into the inner schooling with which it would be most useful for you to engage. It will help in orientating towards putting the time, energy, and attention you have in the most fruitful direction.
Working with Rudolf Steiner’s six subsidiary exercises (included as an appendix to the first lesson of this course) and the EduCareDo Foundation Course or some anthroposophical studies is valuable but not a pre-requisite.
Lesson 1 is available to download for free.
Course Duration and
Ways to Study
The course is designed for self-paced and self-directed distance learning. Enroll at anytime and an account will be set up on the website, providing immediate access to the lessons which are formatted for printing. The recordings of workshops are also accessible from your account. The course and the associated activities remain available for 2 years, or longer if you choose to stay engaged with ongoing course offerings.
Find your own study rhythm for the course duration and feel free to work with the content to give yourself time for tutor communication with Lisa Romero through the diary sheets that accompany each lesson. Lessons are written in a sequential order that gradually unfold, and are available to work with at your chosen pace for meeting your capacity to absorb and integrate the content.
The diary sheets encourage consideration of new thoughts that may be experienced while working through the lesson content, reflections on your inner life and further explorations to carry forward. They are optional and are a useful way of furthering your questions as well as being the main mode of communication between you and Lisa, should you choose to share them and engage with her in this way.
Lisa offers at least one live online gathering a year that is free for course participants and the recordings remain available to course participants.
Inner Work Path hold an online space for discussion of the Six Subsidiary Exercises. The exercises are an addendum to Lesson 1. All are welcome to this group and those not in the course are also welcome to download a complimentary copy of Lesson 1 to participate in these meetings.

Taking the Next Step
Inner development occurs when we grow our inner life through self development, a dedication to a meditative practice or by deepening our spiritual life and for many these three ways can be deeply united on a daily basis.
Each of us however, have our own reasons for the path we take towards self transformation, but now in this time of world need, we can understand the necessity and purpose of our inner work by whatever path we have trod. It is at these times we feel the great need and understanding of how important inner development is, as it not only stabilises and strengthens our own inner life but allows a growing experience of connection to the ever present support of the spiritual world and in turn allows us to pass on that strength and connection to the life of others if they will it.
This course enters all three avenues through various exercises and meditations allowing each participant to take further steps on their path regardless of where they are on the way.
