  • Summary

  • This program is for people who have the curiosity, courage, and/or drive to look deeply inside themselves and find the door that places them on the path to personal power. We will guide you into searching out what power means for you, finding out how you can access it, and the role you will play in changing the world for the better. We do not come offering an answer. There is none. There are only approaches and insights. We do not come stating that we know the truth. We can only share the truth as we have come to know it to be. We can share our stories, our struggles, our failures and successes. We can only share these with you with hope, tears, and laughter. But we come with one firm foundation: You have power. It is your birthright and the world needs you. Join us on our journey, share your journey, and let us become all we were created to be and leave the world a better place than we found it.

  • Martial Arts: Session 13

    Martial Arts: Session 13
    Apr 8 2013
    Martial arts are found in every culture and in our country alone there are an estimated 10,000,000 active practitioners at any one time. A physical art, it also brings emotional and psychological benefits. Whether for self defense, conditioning, or beauty, the arts bring more than just physical well being. Most of us come to it hoping that it will lead us to power and often it does. But the female roles and the male roles are different. Males need to find control of their emotions in battle. Women need to find their voice and their way of being a Warrior and being Woman. And Sensei. We all hoped to find one who, like Yoda, could lead us inside to find our power. But the skills of being a sensei are many and require training in many fields. For forty years we have taught physical and maturational skills in the dojo. Join us for a discussion of the way to power through the martial arts and beyond.

    Mental Health and Addiction: Session 12
    Apr 1 2013
    A child is born and the parents dream. They grow, dream their life for themselves, but just as they are ready to launch, something goes terribly wrong and dreams die. A diagnosis such as bipolar or schizophrenia turns dreams into nightmares. Or things have gone well when a harsh blow so severe that life goes to pieces. What are mental illnesses anyway? Are they genetic or environmental? And what of addiction? More importantly, how does the person and their family find the way to health? Where is the power in all of this? And how does one find it when life seems to have come apart at the seams? There are no sure fire answers, but there are approaches, different models, and hope . Join us for an honest look at tragedies that touch all of us in some way.

  • The Manager as Leader: Session 11

    The Manager as Leader: Session 11
    Mar 25 2013
    It is a big jump from worker to manager. Maintaining work goals, planning for the near future, and putting out fires, the manager stands with both feet planted in the present. But the jump from manager to leader is even greater. They must be a manager, but now they stand with one foot in the present and one in the future. They do not just plan for the future, they envision it. They enliven the dream of the organization and paint the picture of what could be to those who follow them. They create new leaders and prepare them to take on the mantle of power. They usually move up fast because they train those under them to be able to take their spot once they have gone to the next level. Managers may know of their power, but leaders develop it in themselves and others and see creating other powerful people as one of their most important tasks.
