Students of the Wheel tend to go through stages, abit like lovers do; the infatuation stage, the disillusionment stage, the maturing understanding stage and so on. When couples study the Wheel, it can give them a spiritual path to travel together. This can provide some insurance against the kind of breakup which occurs when one person in a relationship wants to change and develop and the other doesn’t. The Wisdom Wheel is not a religion and welcomes all Faith traditions.

To help you do this we've developed a set of Wisdom Wheel Cards, featuring the same 36 Universal Laws. The questions and quotes on the back can be read aloud in groups, to break the ice and encourage people to share their wisdom and experiences. Everyone already knows something worth sharing about these bedrock principles. Discussing them can create meaningful conversations and a deeper sense of common ground.

You’ll learn more about the many ways the Wisdom Wheel is used with groups and classes by reading the Journal entries. Since we have four weeks to study each Law, we include readings from other cultures to test the universality. Another example about the Law of Love, from Japan, If you love your son, let him travel.

I have had the priviledge of introducing hundreds of people to the Wisdom Wheel since then. The words on the stones help make it a more effective bridge between all the cultures and their various wheels.

I have seen many Widom Wheel students accomplish astonishing personal growth, maturing intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.  Sometimes they didn’t appreciate how much they’d changed until a crisis struck and they could see how different their responses were compared to friends and family. Wheel work steadies people in significant, measurable ways.
