Saint Teresa of Avila said, “Self-knowledge is so important that, even if you were raised right up to the heavens, I should like you never to relax your cultivation of it.”

The We Thirst series is a journey of self-knowledge. It includes a thorough exploration of the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual nature of human beings, especially in the context of addiction. Session one begins the journey with an in-depth look at the ways that the brain responds to addictive substances and behaviors. In an age of social media, cell phones, and highly addictive prescription drugs, this is important for everyone to know and understand. This session's virtue is prudence, to help discern how to respond reasonably and effectively.
