by Bill Cumming Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have become alive. Howard Thurman When I was considering what I wanted to do with my life, I was imprisoned in my ...
Conundrum (A seemingly confusing and difficult problem or question.) There are actually two conditions in the world existing in a parallel way. One is miraculous, the other disastrous. It is miraculous to be alive, breathing in and out, seeing and experiencing the wonders of life. People don't anymore believe that ...
Until today I have had a question in my mind about a young girl running down a road in Vietnam that I first saw in 1972. If you were alive and at all present to conditions in the world, you have seen that picture. It is a picture of a ...

Testimonials
Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time. Erin Kilbride | Portland, ME
For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.
Gareth Davies | Capetown, South Africa
[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach
Gina Martin | Springfield, MA
Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!
Maureen Clancy | Portland, ME
Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.
