Patience & Diligence are Key

24/1/2017

Once the inauguration furore dies down, let's allow the animosity to settle. The time for fighting and name-calling is over. Time instead to look ahead to the challenges we face in our communities, our nations, as a global community, and for our ailing Mother Earth. We need to meet each other, listen, be open to try to understand the points of view of those we oppose. How else will we bridge the divide? Patience and diligence are key.

What participants have to say:

"Taking the time out of the busy rush of university life to really reconnect with my inner self was definitely invaluable! I had forgotten to really take a step back to re-evaluate my personal goals and see whether they align with my values."
   - Merit Scholar, Macquarie 
      University, Sydney, Australia.


​"Themes were explored using silence, interactive reflection, the most wonderful poems, videos and a variety of activities. I really appreciated learning about 'open and honest questions' which I now use in my practice as a clinical psychologist."
  -  Veerle Poels, Whakatane,
           NZ.


"A powerful, honest, and meaningful investment of time.  I came away with the understanding that deep self-reflection will yield better long-term results. 
Thank you for such a refreshing approach."

 - Participant, Auckland, NZ.
