Introduction

Many students find incomparable value and inspiration from the deeper teachings that are thoughtfully shared in class. Here you’ll find considerations related to teaching themes in general. To choose a particular theme, please see Themes & Readings Hub.

When class themes are taught effectively, they can benefit both teachers and students:

1. Theme readings provide the opportunity to offer wisdom and inspiration to students who are often hungry for such teachings.
2. The meaning and depth from a related theme can increase practice effectiveness.
3. Teachers can be continually inspired by what they love.
4. Themes are a vehicle for teachers to share their uniqueness and to teach from their own truth.
