B. Personal Development Seminar: THE SONG OF SELF INQUIRY
Learning how to go deeper within as questions arise lets us take full responsibility for our actions. In the School for Wonder we learn how to let our questions burn brighter, as we turn within for essential answers. We come to recognize how long we have searched externally for answers. Self-inquiry is a vehicle for wisdom; an inner friendship with stillness, and the sound of your own essence. Get more acquainted with the sage who lives within you.

C. FRIENDSHIP AND AUTHENTICITY Personal Development Seminar
Immediate insight is our birthright, and yet it often takes a friend to get us to see our blind spots. This session explores how well we know our inner friend, and expectations we carry into relationships with others. Choosing to take full responsibility for our selves allows inner illumination. We access our self-judgments and unconscious tones of voice. As we see the authentic self revealed, innate kindness heightens our awareness and ability to lead with heart.

Part II. Personal Development Seminar: KINDLING THE FLAME

A. TIMELESS WISDOM AND INTEGITY
For thousands of years humans have been in pursuit of truth as a way of life. In this session we explore how our lives are changed by a complete surrender to impeccable choices. As we uncover the original sounds which shaped our histories, we recognize how language reflects the unconscious values we adopted from family and friends. Standing in impeccability relieves the pressure of fearful living. Stop searching outside for safety, and author your life with engaged wisdom.

B. THE FIRE OF LONGING REVEALED
Longing to be back in our original state of oneness with “source” or “creation” is a human experience we rarely speak about. We have hidden that longing and replaced it with material things, clinging, or escaping reality. We feel isolated in the world, and long for meaningful experience. This session is a sacred place for ego to shed its skin; for finding out who we are beyond the limits of personality, and for igniting the passion of spirit.

C. Personal Development: CHAKRA AND ENERGY READING
Learning to track and notice how we run our energy helps us be more effective in understanding others. The ability to remain wakeful to what is actually occurring begins with mindfulness in each moment. As we see our patterns of reaction to others, we identify unconscious motivations. This session shows how we magnetize to other people unconsciously.

D. THE WILDERNESS OF SCHOOLING FOR WONDER
All forms of creation are the authentic voice of unnameable mystery. Together we will directly experience the wilderness inherent in our group. All forms of expression that respect the nature of wild being are welcome, including silence, as we each turn within for the freedom of authorship.

Part III Personal Development Seminar:
THE MYSTERY OF UNION

A. Personal Development: THE YES OF SURRENDER
We came into this world surrendered, and slowly we learned how to forget the joy of our natural state. We meet here to listen for our history of resistance, and to identify our fear of yielding to the unknown. This session coaches us to jump off the roof of theory into actualization.

B. Personal Development: THE VOICE OF DEATH
Fear of death plays a significant role in how we live our lives. Just when we’re being our best, the fear of loss can completely divert our course. This session invites us to live our lives as though we have already died, in gratitude. We will focus on death as it relates to personal life choices, community, and self-expression in the world at large.

C. THE YOGA OF RELATIONSHIP AND DEVOTION
Engaging with the world as beloved is a noble path of personal dedication. In this session we recognize the honor of abiding in the world of possibility, and in service to our own voice as reverent instrument. Exploring the difference between compassion,empathy and sympathy, we listen for our patterns of expecting others to love in the same ways we do.

D. PRESENCE AND DIRECT EXPERIENCE
Here we explore the difference between concept and reality; conditioning, and living in the moment. So many of us got to where we are by using our wits, we’re afraid to lose the thinking- mind as navigator. See what happens when the mind melts into that sweet spot in the heart, where direct experience becomes your personal rhythm.

Part IV THE WORKING WORLD: Personal Development Seminar

A. THE VOICE OF REASON AT WORK
Being more effective in the work place means something different for each of us, and conscious choices improve communications. In this session we look closely at the agreements in each workenvironment represented within the group, and how we can expand clear communications. Learning to contribute from a place of respect for co-workers, we teach others by our example, and feel more valued as a result.

B. Personal Development: ESSENCE AND CONFIDENCE
Here we explore how composure, beyond personality, keeps us inherently at ease and naturally confident. Realizing personalessence is being sound in the way we live, as empowered instruments of truth. We stop straining to reach some distant star when we pause to remember who we truly are.

C. SERVICE CARE PROVIDERS
Learning to have integrity in service care includes staying in touch with self-nurturing and boundaries. In this session we uncover our history of overextending. Being a giver all the time keeps us under the illusion of control, or able to make a significant impact. Here we recognize the mercy in self-awareness, and learn to apply the basic principalsof healing ourselves as a basis for service.

D. STRESS REDUCTION AND AUTHENTICITY
Many of us get stressed just as we come into transformational changes, or we stay engaged in activity from a compulsion to “do.” Regardless of our circumstances, by hearing our habitual patterns objectively, we can choose a sound resolve, and relax. The commitment to honor our selves within is a relief. This session creates personal tools for relaxation.
