Courses

The Art of Womanhood program includes three Candlelight level courses, two Lamplight level courses, and one extended Lighthouse level course.

	The Candlelight Courses put an emphasis on putting personal life and relationships in order.
	The Lamplight Courses put an emphasis on increasing knowledge of womanhood and self, leading to a better understanding of personal mission.
	The Lighthouse Course puts an emphasis on keeping home in balance while preparing more deeply for personal mission and reaching out to those outside the home.

Each of these courses runs for twelve weeks (one term), three times per year. Each course includes required and optional curriculum, regular mentoring via e-mail and phone calls, phone colloquia for each reading, required and optional lectures, required assignments, and principles and study skills to focus on. The amount of readings and the intensity of the program become increasingly difficult as the woman moves through the course levels.

The program is structured this way to help the woman increase in capacity at a reasonable rate. For example, the first Candlelight course requires that the woman read from her core book (the book that defines her personal values), connect with her higher source of truth on a daily basis, and read two other books with monthly colloquia. By the third Candlelight course, she is reading four books and having colloquia every three weeks. As she moves into the Lamplight level, she completes six readings per session with colloquia every two weeks. Women who come into the program prepared to do more may complete the program at a faster rate. They can either do some of the work in a study circle and some independently, or they can join a study circle designed to go through the Candlelight course twice as fast, covering two courses in one session.
