Empowerment Course 1

Learn ways to develop inner peace, clarity and strength. Participants will explore, in a highly interactive way, universal philosophies and teachings that will help to clarify personal belief systems; cultivate a clear understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental and spiritual selves; and develop a practical understanding of how these four aspects relate to one another in life. Discover how simple but deliberate actions can foster an experience of well being, happiness, and empowerment.

Homework is an integral part of this course. The weekly assignments are designed to provide the participant with an experience of the lesson for either the previous or following week. Assignments accumulate from week to week and range from journaling everyday to expressing gratitude for your blessings to doing something nice for someone else anonymously. Much of the class discussion is based on the homework experiences of the participants.
