The Mirror

The Identity Educational Spiritual and Social Plan (IESSP) is a mentorship and discipleship program designed to empower people to discover their true identities, excel in their education and career, deepen their spirituality, and strengthen their social support network. At The Mirror, our calling is to walk with you on your journey to healing and thriving. We will offer guidance, support, and encouragement along your path.

We want to help you discover your unique inner song. In a story attributed to Alan Cohen, “They’re Singing Your Song,'' pregnant women in an African tribe go out into the wilderness before their child is born to pray and meditate with a few friends. Together in prayer, they listen for the baby’s unique inner song, and learn to sing it by heart. They return to the tribe, and everyone learns the baby’s song. They sing it at the child’s birth, at their wedding, and, ultimately, at their death. They even sing it when that person makes a mistake or goes astray. They know that the reason people go astray is because they’ve forgotten their true identity: beloved. When the community sings their song to remind them of who they really are, that person can return to the path of healing and wholeness.

The essence of this curriculum is to help you sing your song, and for the people around you to learn it, too. Each component of the program – Identity, Educational, Spiritual, and Social – is designed to help you and the people around you discover your inner song. Each component has 12 modules. Each module explores topics that will help you cultivate your self-awareness, unearth your unique gifts, and set actionable goals to help you reach your potential. Each module has three levels of mastery:
