Study circle

Study circles are informal groups, generally of 6-10 people, that organise themselves at times they find convenient with the help of a tutor. They study together the application of spiritual principles, have social activities, and organise service projects. A sequence of workbooks prepared by the Ruhi Institute provide structure to the studies in the circle. It generally takes several meetings to complete a book, although some can be done in one intensive weekend if a group so desires. The book topics are:

  • Book 1: Reflections on the Life of the Spirit
  • Book 2: Arising to Serve
  • Book 3: Teaching Children's Classes, Grade 1
  • Book 3b: Teaching Children's Classes, Grades 2 and 3
  • Book 4: The Twin Manifestations
  • Book 6: Teaching the Cause
  • Book 7: Walking together on a path of service

Anyone is welcome to form part of a new study circle, or to join a study circle at their level when it is starting a new book. In Geneva, there are presently study circles in English and French.
