The importance of service is a common thread running through all spiritual traditions. That service may be in our community, for humanity as a whole, or including the eco-system in which humanity lives. We engage in service both to learn and grow and to contribute to the evolutionary process of all beings.

As part of her own spiritual practice, Dr. Riddle has been associated with the School for Esoteric Studies for 35 years and serves on its Board of Directors. She sees the disciplined application of spiritual principles in everyday life as the “inner” side of her work on services and economic development. Her current work, through the Service Growth Project, is focused on:

• Articles:
  • How Disciples Can Prepare for Transition
  • Learning to Work with and Respond to Shamballa Will Energy
  • What Is Feminist Spirituality, and Why Should We Care?
  • The Will in Its Various Forms
  • Wise Use of Destructive Energy

• Spiritual coaching

Dr. Riddle works with individuals and groups, in person or by distance, on aligning their daily activity and focus with their Soul purpose.
