Up to
a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and
movements and changes in the world about him. Then there
comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay
of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only
the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of
good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within
his power to say,

I am today; that I will be tomorrow." Louis L'Amour

beloved dog Lucy and manages his own home improvement
business. While this may seem to be an ordinary live, Ryan
is far from ordinary.
For the past 18 years Ryan has been on a path to fully
express his “voice” and has recently begun the transition
process from female to male.
Ryan’s devotion to live true to his voice has led him to
speak to Saint Mary’s College students and as a result has
been invited to be the keynote speaker for the Pride Week at
St. Mary’s. Additionally, Ryan serves on the Board at Unity

The
Law of Attraction states that like attracts like
in the universe. This concept is not new, having been
stated in various religious writings and other works
dating back thousands of years. The Law of Attraction is
KEY to manifesting the life you want. Abundant health,
passion and wealth are your birthright. Vision Boards
are great tools to help you visualize the life you
desire. Make this amazing tool part of your daily
manifestation practice now. Jetta Cruse will walk you
through the steps of creating a Vision Board.
Part One focuses on the intent and purpose of
visioning. Through
guided
meditation, you will connect with your
heart’s desire. What does your dream look like? How
does it feel? Is it a specific dream: a home, car,
career, or mate? Or is it a general vision of your
life that encompasses many things? Feeling is KEY.
Pictures are great ways to connect us to the
feelings we have. And the two senses together -
seeing and feeling - are what help bring about the
manifestations in our lives.
Part Two focuses on
creating the Vision Board -creating the life you
want. Get out your glue sticks and let’s have some
fun! This powerful and joyous workshop is intended
to help you manifest and live the life you want.
Participants are encouraged to bring
magazine/photo/imagery that is meaningful to them
and their Vision Board.
All other materials are supplied.

What
do you, an Idaho potato farmer, a kindergartener, and an
injured Ugandan soccer player have in common? More than you
think. Co-creating your world requires more than just
capturing the vision; it requires a permanent paradigm shift
based on principled centered leadership first with self,
then with others through life examination and finally, a
personal action plan. When we are truly in balance in all
areas of our lives, great things can and do happen. Dr.
Covey’s teachings are not just for the business world where
they first gained recognition and success; they are directed
at individuals like you, making this work a keystone life
philosophy for millions in over 38 countries around the
globe.
Join us as we explore and “seek to understand” the 7 Habits
of Highly Effective People—habits foundational to our divine
core / soul no matter what culture or spiritual tradition
you embrace. This fast paced, 5 week session, will provide a
broad overview of the habits with practical exercises for
realistic daily application in all areas of your life. We
will conclude in celebration with Dr. Covey’s acclaimed 8th
Habit, Find Your Voice and Help Others Find Theirs, the
principle of giving back in the circle of life.
If you feel like you are “stuck in a rut”, have
relationships that need repairing, need to bring balance to
your life, have a vision that needs manifesting, are
juggling too many of those proverbial “balls in the air” or
just plain need to give your life a good old fashioned
spring cleaning, then this series is for you!
You will not need to purchase any books or materials;
handouts will be provided.

December
was a month of new discoveries and breakthroughs for
Paul around this topic. He will be sharing all of his
most valuable insights during these two talks.
This information goes way beyond "positive thinking."
Our emotional state is much more determined by energetic
patterns within us, than by our thought patterns. Many
of these patterns fall into the Stuck Energy category,
and they are patterns that you did not create yourself
but instead, they have gotten stuck to you over the
course of your life. They can have a HUGE effect on you
emotionally and physically.
Paul will be sharing how he locates and removes these
patterns for clients. He will also have a special guest
who will share some of her story of how her life has
changed dramatically through using this approach.
This talk will cover all of the most recent new
understandings he has gained over the past several
months. Paul is now able to get the best results he has
ever seen in over 15 years of coaching and it's due to
one key area he focuses on with people.
You'll find out what that is if you attend! It's okay
to attend Part 2 even if you can't attend Part 1.

coaching approach could deliver much greater results for
clients than anything he had worked with previously.
Paul rediscovered his passion for coaching and the next
phase of his career began in 2007, when he launched
OptimaLife Coaching.
As the old saying goes “There is always more to the
story—always!” People who are willing to stand up and
share their stories give us encouragement toward our own
paths and a reminder that everyone has had, and still
have, many more questions unanswered.
Join Diane Winn and Tom Searcy as they talk about their
ongoing journeys, individually and then together,
including what they have learned, what issues still
bedevil them, and what each of us can do to move in the
direction of our own mastery.
On three consecutive Wednesdays (January 12, 19 & 26)
Diane Winn and Tom Searcy will tell their personal
transformation stories. The first Wednesday, Diane will
share, and we’ll hear from Tom the following week. On
the third Wednesday, they’ll both talk about the wisdom
they’ve earned and learned as they outline steps we all
can take toward “mastery” in the present. Join us for
experiential conversations as Tom and Diane reveal many
of the varied tools one can employ along the way to
transformation and mastery.
It is their hope that each participant will be enriched
by their frank, insightful perspectives on how we each
travel our own path, appropriate to each individual, on
the way to ultimate perfection.

Deepen
your understanding of intuition and begin to trust your own
intuitive powers. It is my belief that we all are intuitive
and can enhance this innate skill. In this two-part
class, we will explore several techniques and support each
other in the awakening of our intuitive faculties.
For the November 10th class, please bring:
several photos (one person in each photo—either a living
person or one who has crossed over.)
jewelry or something that belongs to you or someone
close to you (family, friend, significant other,
etc.)The item needs to be something a person uses
frequently, i.e., a talisman, a stone, a pen, tie clip,
etc.
For the November 17th class,
please bring:
additional photos of loved ones. We will work with
them as time allows.
Supplies and additional materials will be provided, but
please pre-register to ensure that we have enough
materials on hand for this class.
For both classes, bring an open heart and an open mind. This
class is intended to be fun. We will open and explore
without judgment and send participants home with knowledge
of a variety of methods that will enable them to practice
their intuitive skills in common, every-day ways!

As
all of Creation is a form of Vibration, Sound is the most
recognizable form of vibration to humans beings. As beings

vibrations of our physical body.

How
would you like to learn about a system that can actually
help you become more resilient, productive, creative,
happier and healthier? A program that will help you control
the stress that takes a toll on your relationships, immune
and cardiovascular systems? In other words . . . to renew
your ability to stay in your Authentic Self.
Over 1,400 biochemical reactions happen in our bodies when
we are stressed. Some 85% of all doctor visits are stress
related, and most conditions get worse due to stress, real
or imagined. In these times of great change, we need to
teach our bodies how not to respond in old patterned ways.
Using heart power, we learn how to shift our physiology and
create a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal, and
biochemical events that benefit the entire body. Blood
pressure drops, stress hormones plummet, the immune system
pumps up, anti-aging hormones increase. We gain clarity,
calmness, control and the effects are both immediate and
long lasting. We have been entrained in our physiology as
humans to survive and now are being asked by the Universe to
do more, to live heart-based lives. Learn how to return to
your Authentic Self in this class.
When we learn how and why to shift our physiology using the
power of the heart, we actually create a favorable cascade
of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the
entire body.
We have been entrained in our physiology as humans to
survive and now are being asked by the Universe to do more,
to live more heart-based lives.

1. Attendees will identify at
least one area of their life where they are out of
balance or out of integrity.
2. Attendees will become aware of
what each of their clients is reflecting in themselves
and use it as a tool to become 100% responsible for the
fulfillment of their vision.
3. Attendees will step into a
higher level of accountability by identifying what
choices they’ve been making that have left them out of
integrity and what choices they need to make to bring
forth balance and integrity.
4. Attendees will leave the
presentation with clear action steps that will support
them in creating and maintaining balance on a daily
basis; a balance of being and doing.
Relevance to conference
attendees:
The Balance Act – Being AND Doing
will support attendees in gaining clarity around the
significance of who they are being in the world versus
all that they are doing. Our society tends to place
value on production, taking pride in multitasking which
is resulting in stress and disease leaving one to feel
out of balance. Coaches as well as the general public
will benefit from this presentation as it will bring
individual awareness around the choices they are making
and how those choices are affecting themselves and
everyone around them.
Main points to be covered in the
presentation:
1. What area or areas of my life
am I out of integrity? How am I not taking 100%
responsibility for my life?
2. At what level of integrity am I
functioning as a coach? If we are not living up to all
our potential then we are out of integrity. Life is
meant to be lived fully. If we are out of alignment
with our skills or dharma then issues will continue to
show up to let us know we are off track.
3. How are my clients reflecting
me? What support structures do I have to put in place
to assist me in creating learning in each moment?
4. Being AND doing – what does
that look like in my life?
How does the presentation differ
from others:
The Balancing Act – Being AND Doing
will differ from others that might address the same
topic by the process that attendees will be facilitated
through. The intention of this presentation will be to
guide the attendees “out of their minds” and into their
heart for the purpose of using their “inner wisdom” as a
means to connect them with a new sense of being and
allowing them to experience the moment. Using their
experience that will be birthed from the presentation,
attendees can then create specific action steps that
will allow them to connect with their “inner wisdom” on
a regular basis, further supporting their vision, their
clients and the world.

Come
and find out! Join us at the Center for Spiritual Growth on
Wednesday June 9 at 7 PM when Alice Brewer will share what
she has seen and learned from watching many clients discover
energies around them of which they were not aware.
If you have ever felt that you or
someone you know “just isn’t him/herself right now” or that
someone “hasn’t been the same since”, or you don’t know why
you did/said something because it really “isn’t like you”,
then you will be interested in this presentation. The
presentation will focus on the following topics:
• A brief
historical perspective on energy attachment
• An introduction
to types of energetic attachments:
• energetic fragments,
• earth-bound spirits,
• other energy forms
• actual accounts (including what they look like)
• Signs of the
presence of an energetic attachment (or not)
• How energies are
able to attach to us
• What to do if you
suspect an attachment is present
• How to protect
yourself and others from energetic attachment
Presented
by Alice Brewer. Alice is an attorney, now retired,
who is able to tune in to and see things that are not
normally visible to the naked eye, including loved ones who
have passed, spirit guides and angels.
Formal training most relevant to this
presentation includes mediumship training with James Van
Praagh and past life regression training with Dr. Brian
Weiss. Alice received most of the information presented at
this program through hundreds of hours of actual observation
working with clients.

The Truth About Finding
Unconditional Love and Fulfilling Relationships
by Diane
Winn & Tom Searcy, based on the book by Greg Baer
About the book...
Most
of us are not genuinely happy, and we prove that with our
desperate pursuit of money, power, sex, and
entertainment—and with our anger, constant seeking of
approval, and withdrawing from relationships. We do all
these things because we're trying to fill a huge emptiness
inside us, an emptiness created because we don't have enough
of the one thing—love—that we need more than anything else
in order to be happy. But not just any kind of love will do.
We need unconditional love—Real Love—where we can make our
foolish mistakes and fail to do what other people want, but
they're still not disappointed or angry with us.
Very
few of us have received that kind of love. Instead, we've
been "loved" when we've met the expectations of others—when
we've been "good." In other words, we pay for the love we
receive, and that leaves us feeling empty and alone. To fill
our emptiness, and to protect ourselves from pain, we
manipulate and control the people around us in predictable
ways that consistently lead to disaster in relationships.
Two people without sufficient Real Love cannot enjoy a
loving and happy relationship. They can only experience the
temporary satisfaction of Imitation Love in the form of
praise, power, pleasure, and safety.
Most
of us have been searching all our lives for the secret to
happiness. It's not a secret. In
Real Love—The Truth About Finding Unconditional Love and
Fulfilling Relationships, learn why we—and other
people— keep behaving in ways that are so unproductive, even
harmful. Learn how to take the simple and powerfully
effective steps that lead to the Real Love that invariably
gives us the genuine, lasting happiness we want. And learn
how to share that love with others, which profoundly
enriches our relationships with spouses, children, parents,
friends, and co-workers.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM
This program will be offered over 3
sessions: Wednesday evening, May 5th, Wednesday
evening May 19th, and Saturday morning May 22nd.
We will be covering in depth societal, family and internal
blocks that close us off to unconditional love and
acceptance. We will explore the myriad of strategies we
develop to protect ourselves and help us get what we
mistakenly recognize as love, but isn’t. Finally we will
explore the ways to recognize what we have been doing to
perpetuate our unhappiness and frustration, and powerful new
ways to shift our approach to help us develop successful
relationships and truly receive unconditional love and
appreciation. Every session will include interactive
exercises allowing us to practice ways of living in
emotionally healthy ways.
SESSION ONE
Wednesday May 5th we will
focus on assisting us to understand why we know so little
about Real Love, and how powerfully society functions to
reinforce our dysfunction. We will study the latest and
greatest research that vividly explains many self-defeating
myths about romantic and loving relationships, and begin to
contrast those conventions with behaviors and attitudes that
actually create thriving, enduring relationships, romantic
and otherwise.
SESSION TWO
Wednesday May 19th will
be devoted to exposing the basic strategies we use to
protect ourselves from emotional hurt, and techniques we use
to grasp for the “next best thing” to authentic love and
acceptance. We will begin to explore how to recognize and
undo these self-defeating behaviors, and how to replace them
with productive and satisfying relationships.
SESSION THREE
Saturday May 22nd, we
will concentrate almost exclusively on the most successful
and satisfying strategies to create real and unconditional
love. Exercises will let us all “try on” new creative ways
of connecting with others in healthy and beneficial
exchanges. We will give specific examples of responses you
can use to make deeper connections or to defuse damaging
conflict.
Join us
for an exciting, informative and a thoroughly enjoyable
exploration of our amazing capacity as humans to love and to
change.

Tom Searcy, Professional
Coach and Mentor, will share the
background and results of current research plus some simple
tools we can use to more easily access this profound
capacity in our lives.
Thomas G. Searcy is a principal with Through Eagles Eyes,
which he created with Diane Winn in 2006. He has an

matured.
There
are two primary factors that interfere with our innate
happiness and our natural ability to easily have what we
most want in life:
Disruptive Thought Patterns in our mind, and
Disruptive Energy Patterns within our body.
Of those two categories, the disruptive energy patterns seem
to cause the most trouble for people because human beings
will do virtually anything to avoid being emotionally
overwhelmed.
The unconscious fear of overwhelm controls us without our
being aware of it. When we experience unpleasant emotions,
it is common that we are thrown off track or completely shut
down for some period of time. Talk about a disruption! It
can feel like we are a prisoner to these emotional patterns
of unresolved energy.
The reality is, unresolved emotional energy is nothing to be
afraid of and it is actually impossible for you to be
overwhelmed by it (despite your fear to the contrary). When
you understand how to resolve and complete the energetic
disruptive patterns that occur in your body, then you can
experience a life free from this uncomfortable limiting
influence.
It’s like cutting loose the heavy weights that have been
holding you down all your life. You literally feel
enlightened and much more able to stay in high emotional
states of peace, joy, love and excitement – true lasting
happiness.
Join Paul Rarick and Alice Brewer on Wednesday, April 28th
for an in-depth exploration of the 3 types of unresolved
energy patterns that stop people in their tracks and that
often cause years of pain and suffering.
1. Unresolved energy that you created related to past
experiences,
2. Unresolved energy that you created related to negative
outcomes projected into the future,
3. Unresolved energy that you didn’t actually create, but
that got stuck to you (or in you) during the course of your
life.
You will have the opportunity to participate in a live
demonstration showing exactly how to permanently break free
from each of these patterns.

by Barbara
Stone, PhD ~ Author of Invisible Roots: How Healing
Past Life Trauma Can Liberate Your Present
What happens when psychological problems and
physical symptoms stubbornly persist even with the
most advanced methods of cure? This problem
confounded many of psychotherapist Dr. Barbara
Stone's clients, who could not shake phobias,
addictions, depression, anger, pain, chronic
fatigue, and other physical conditions, no matter
what they tried. Then, searching deeper realms
uncovered links to traumatic past lives and to
spirits of the deceased who had not been able to
move into the Light because of emotional turmoil.
After treating the wounds of these past lives and
earthbound spirits, the presenting problems
disappeared.
This groundbreaking book describes these remarkable
stories and the methods used to help people heal. A
resource for therapists confronted with these
phenomena, this book is also for anyone struggling
to understand the origins of persistent patterns of
blockage or disease. Best of all, it brings the
remarkable breakthrough therapies of Energy
Psychology to bear on this difficult area, providing
an abundance of tools and techniques for resolving
issues whose roots lie in realms other than the
present lifetime.
Find out about a new, gentle way to
retrieve soul fragments that have been locked in the
trauma of previous incarnation
Live demonstration of healing past life
trauma with a volunteer from the group
Barbara Stone, PhD, LISW, DCEP, is a Professor at Energy
Medicine University, author, workshop presenter, public speaker,
and a bilingual psychotherapist in private practice.
Her
book Invisible Roots shows how past life
trauma and earthbound spirit attachments may underlie many
emotional problems that feel “stuck” and presents the Soul
Detective Protocols she developed to resolve these issues.
The topic of healing is very close to her heart, as her
first book, Cancer As Initiation: Surviving the Fire,
is the autobiographical account of her holistic approach to
recovery from a diagnosis of breast cancer in 1991. Dr.
Stone is also a musician, potter, gardener, grandmother, and
holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacifica
Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California.
Healing comes not through an effort of ego but rather
through surrender to healing forces that are inspired by the
Divine.
This experiential class will teach a deepening sequence of
guided meditation, chakra balancing, and visualization
exercises to stimulate mind-body-spirit healing for self and
others. The overall purpose is to guide participants to a
state of consciousness to experience the healing presence of
the Heart Center.
We will start with a centering on the four attributes of the
Heart Center; compassion, innate harmony, healing presence,
and
Divine Love. This will be followed by a self administered
Healing Touch exercise that uses body energy to activate and
balance the chakra energy centers. The culminating step of
the sequence will be a type of prayer healing where we
visualize our self and/or loved ones, inside our Heart
Center infused with Divine healing energy.
In some types of prayer healing one sends loving healing
thoughts and prayers out to the person in need. In this
class we will practice bringing our loved ones and/or our
self into our Heart Center, surrounded with Divine healing
energy that we allow to fill up our hearts. The
intention is to temporarily melt into the Healing Presence
and its transformative power and then return to normal
consciousness feeling refreshed and restored.

by Jetta Cruse - Based on the book by Dr.
Wayne W. Dyer
Within the pages of this
transformational book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to
change the self-defeating thinking patterns that have
prevented you from living at the highest levels of
success, happiness, and health. Even though you may know
what to think, actually changing those thinking habits
that have been with you since childhood might be
somewhat challenging.
If I changed, it would create family dramas... I’m
too old or too young... I’m far too busy and tired... I
can’t afford the things I truly want... It would be very
difficult for me to do things differently... and I’ve
always been this way... may all seem to be true, but
they’re in fact just excuses. So the business of
modifying habituated thinking patterns really comes down
to tossing out the same tired old excuses and examining
your beliefs in a new and truthful light.
In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium
of conscious and subconscious crutches employed by
virtually everyone, along with ways to cast them aside
once and for all. You’ll learn to apply specific
questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the
steps of a new paradigm. The old, habituated ways of
thinking will melt away as you experience the absurdity
of hanging on to them.
You’ll ultimately realize that there are no excuses
worth defending, ever, even if they’ve always been part
of your life—and the joy of releasing them will resonate
throughout your very being. When you eliminate the need
to explain your shortcomings or failures, you’ll awaken
to the life of your dreams.
Excuses . . . Begone!

Chakras,
Angels, Fairies & You

Chakra's And How They Affect
You

to balance and clear these energy centers you will remove
negative energy residues that cause fear and worry. You will

meditations and visualizations to clear your chakras, which

Fairies aid people in finding lost objects, heal themselves

Are You An Earth Angel, Elemental,
Wizard, or Leprechaun?
A simple quiz will tell you if you are an Incarnated
Angel, Elemental Star-person, Walk-In, or Wizard. If you
feel different from other people, have a passion or talent
for healing, teaching, or helping others, yet you yourself
have struggled with addictions, relationship challenges, and
such, then... you may be an Earth Angel. This class will
helps you understand how your spiritual-realm origin has
affected your life’s mission, personality, relationships,
health, and even your looks.

No matter what it is that
you'd like to manifest or attract into your life, if you
look closely at what's really motivating you to want what
you want, you'll see that it all boils down to just one
primary thing.
In fact, this one thing is what just about every person on
the planet wants, although they may not realize it.
Wouldn't it simplify your life to know you're really chasing
after only one thing? (Here's a hint: It's not more money or
more time or a bigger house or a better relationship).
Join Paul Rarick of
OptimaLife Coaching to find out what is "the one thing that
everyone wants," and more importantly, how YOU can have it
starting right now. Paul will identify the internal barriers
that most frequently prevent people from having this one
thing, and demonstrate the tools and techniques he uses to
remove those barriers permanently.

AWAKENING THE HEART CENTER
Saturday Morning from 9 AM until 12 PM
from Shadow to LIGHT
Three Consecutive Weeks, One Evening per Week from 7 - 8:30
PM
PART ONE:
Awakening The Heart Center
As we learn to activate the 4th chakra, the Heart Center, we
come into an endless resource for transformation and
spiritual enlightenment. Living from the Heart Center allows
us to feel strength in our vulnerability, to be our
authentic self.
This three hour workshop will be hands-on, and will teach
specific tools to activate the Heart Center as a personal
foundation for Divine guidance and self discovery. During
the Saturday morning workshop we will practice:
Sending and receiving energy of unconditional love, heart to
heart
Mind Clearing, a technique of Healing Touch energy therapy,
an opportunity to use heart energy for healing
Making sincere requests for guidance from the Divine from
your Heart Center
Strengthening 4 Attributes of the Heart Center - Compassion,
Innate Harmony, Healing Presence, & Divine Love
This workshop is a prerequisite for the three session class
from Shadow to LIGHT (Nov. 2nd, 9th, 16th 7:00-8:30 pm).
With permission, other Heart Center work you have done may
meet the requirements of prerequisite. This should be
discussed with the Center for Spiritual Growth staff.
Contact the Center for Spiritual Growth at 574-679-2093 or
info@centerforspiritualgrowth.net
PART TWO:
from
Shadow to LIGHT
By definition the Shadow is unconscious. Our work is to
bring it to consciousness, to stop blaming and to take
responsibility. In this three week workshop we will be
learning how to do this. Each week will build on the
previous one.
Week One * Unleashing the shadow
Week Two * Learning about our shadow from other people
Week Three * Making friends with our shadow
~
Why it is important to AWAKEN THE HEART CENTER ~
Heart Center consciousness allows us to accept difficult
people and distasteful things about ourselves without
judging. This is the key to shadow work to see “what is”
without labeling or judging, to accept what is difficult to
accept, and to do it with compassion for our self as well as
for others. When we lead from our Hearts, this becomes more
possible.
Internet access is required for the Shadow workshop in order
to participate in on-line assignments.

Angels Among Us
by Cricket Berry
Everyone
has guardian angels, and these angels perform God's will of
peace for us all. When we open ourselves to hear our angels'
messages, every aspect of our lives becomes more peaceful.
Cricket will once again share with us about Angels roles
in our lives
and the ways that Angels can help us and how to call upon
them. She will provide information on Guardian Angels,
Archangels, and frequently asked questions about the Angels. If you’ve ever wondered if Angels Surround Us, come to the
center and find out more about the Angel Spirit World.

Before
we can begin the journey to get to have the life of our
dreams we need to know where we are starting from or
where we are now and who we are now. Often our
transformation requires that we change who we are, in
order to allow ourselves to have the life that we
desire.
In this workshop we will do some exercises to take stock
of who we are today, and then we will make a
representation of our current selves.
The second session will be devoted to discovering who we
secretly would like to be and what needs to happen for
us to become that person. We will then make a new you in
the form of a visual expression: a keepsake and reminder
for yourself of the way you would like to see yourself.
No art experience or inclination is needed. You already
have all the skills you need to express yourself
perfectly. I promise.
Please bring a pen and a pad of paper or journal to
write in. I will supply all the other materials we will
need.

Angels Roles in Our
Lives and How We Call Upon Their Help

Everyone has guardian angels, and these angels perform God's
will of peace for us all. When we open ourselves to hear our

Learn How to Powerfully
Manifest Your Intentions, Dreams, and Desires
Presented by Paul Rarick
We all have the ability to manifest what we need and want in
life. We often do it without thinking twice. Yet there are
certain areas where we have challenges around manifesting,
times when what we desire is definitely not coming easily.
To be masterful at manifesting your intentions, dreams and
desires, it’s best if you have a basic understanding of the
mechanics of the process. The mechanics of manifestation can
be easily understood (it’s not rocket science). When you
combine a clear understanding (mastery) with the precise
execution (skill) you can experience an exciting new level
of your ability to create, attract and manifest whatever you
most want in this lifetime. You can know through experience
how to manifest in all areas of your life, around any
subject.

A Creative Process for
Reaching Your Spiritual Goals
Presented by Jetta Cruse
The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like in
the universe. This concept is not new, having been stated in
various religious writings and other works dating back thousands
of years. The Law of Attraction is KEY to manifesting the life
you want. Abundant health, passion and wealth are your
birthright.
Vision Boards are great
tools to help you visualize the life you desire. Make this
amazing tool part of your daily manifestation practice now.
Jetta Cruse will walk you through
the steps of creating a Vision Board. All materials are
supplied. This is more than just a craft class.
Part One
focused on the intent and purpose of visioning. Through guided
meditation, you will connect with your heart’s desire. What does
your dream look like? How does it feel? Is it a specific dream:
a home, car, career, or mate? Or is it a general vision of your
life that encompasses many things? Feeling is KEY. Pictures are
great ways to connect us to the feelings we have. And the two
senses together - seeing and feeling - are what bring about the
manifestations in our lives.
Part Two focused on creating the Vision Board. Get out your
glue sticks and let’s have some fun! This powerful and joyous
workshop is intended to help you manifest and live the life you
want.

The Shadow Effect
- a film by Debbie Ford, presented by
Debbie Willhite
Presented by Debbie Willhite
T H E S H A D O W E F F
E C T A Journey from your darkest
thought to your greatest dream.
The Shadow Effect is an emotionally-gripping,
visually-compelling docudrama that reveals why suppressed
emotions and unresolved internal conflicts leads to behavior
that continually unseats politicians, destroys celebrity
careers, destabilizes the economy and affects the lives of
millions each year.
In this age of public humiliation and media meltdowns,
the work of New York Times best selling author,
Debbie Ford, continues to make headway as she exposes the
opposing forces of both light and dark that compete for
attention within every human being. In her film debut,
The Shadow Effect, Ford presents the hidden power of
“the Shadow” alongside some of today’s most provocative
thinkers including Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Mark
Victor Hansen, James Van Praagh and others.
In this life-altering journey, individuals who have
transcended child abuse, racism, the Holocaust, war, and
wounded upbringings, share their remarkable stories. Meet
those who have learned to face their terror, heal their
wounds, and embrace their higher, heroic selves to overcome
the shadow effect.
T H E S H A D O W E F F
E C T I N T E R A C T I V E
To leave the viewer inspired and compelled to take an
evolutionary leap, Ford has integrated some of her most
successful and proven processes into a cutting-edge Special
Interactive Edition of The Shadow Effect.
Throughout the movie, Ford guides the viewer through eight
exercises designed to reveal the shadow effect in their own
lives and presents them with opportunities to transcend
personal limitations.

Helene Wilhelm-Cannoot
is the co-founder and director of the Center for Spiritual
Growth, and the Chair of the Center's Board of Directors.
Finding the desire and the necessity to create a safe and
encouraging environment for individuals to come together to
heal, and to grow spiritually in their own way and at their
own pace, the Center was born from Helene's own desire to
heal and grow over six years ago.
Helene was raised to honor and value a strong religious
foundation. From the days of her youth, however, she always
dreamed of creating a safe environment where people can
discover their own unique way of exploring and expressing
their understanding of God, and for providing support as
they walk their path of self-discovery. She held the vision
of creating a space where love is felt and lives are
changed. Today, the Center for Spiritual Growth is that
dream come true.
She has been studying personal spiritual growth and
self-awareness for over 30 years.
Andrew Brent
Andrew Brent was a board member of the Center for
Spiritual Growth from early
2006 until April 2010 and was involved in the
development of programs and classes. He was instrumental in the development and
presentation of the Center's
First Annual Spiritual Growth Film Festival,
and was involved with facilitating the discussions of
"Cinderella" and "Peaceful Warrior." He is an avid fan
and student of Wayne Dyer, as well as other great
contemporary spiritual teachers such as Marianne
Williamson and Caroline Myss. His spiritual path
serendipitously led him to the Center in the summer of
2004 when it was a tiny church in Lakeville, operating
as the Spiritual Enrichment Center, and has been
involved there ever since.
Andrew's passion for music is expressed in many of the
evening classes presented at the Center. He provides
meditation music as well as special music from his
favorite songwriters and his own compositions. His
dedication to serving others through his gift of music
is one of his major contributions to healing himself,
others and ultimately the world.
Music
is often called the universal language. It knows no
boundaries, and all cultures share its gifts. This is
because music is the language of the soul.
Just as words can help us express what is in our minds,
music can help us express what is in our hearts. Too often
human beings are at a loss to find ways to express the
stirrings, longings, desires and wide-ranging emotions that
emanate from our souls. Music touches everyone who can hear
and feel.
Do you know a song that makes you cry every time you hear
it? Is there a song that helps you get in touch with anger?
What about that song that lifts you up when you feel
blue? What about the music that you just love hearing
because it truly brings you joy?
That is the beauty and power of music. It is a mystical,
creative experience. Everyone has the ability to create. The
creative process is a Divine tool which helps us recognize
our connection to Source/God. This musical workshop
identifies the healing properties of music and how to use it
as a tool for growth as we walk along our spiritual paths.
Jetta Cruse
Jetta Cruse will share her personal journey and how music
has played a huge part in her life, as well as what an
important role it plays in the healing and creative
processes. It is truly her gift and calling to share music
with others. She will give you guidelines on creating your
own healing music, even if you do not play an
instrument. She will also share some of her original
compositions and perform them during the workshop. If you
love music, this is the class for you!
The Limitless Human

Throughout history in all cultures, we are taught of our
access to Divine Power. Reports of miracles are common

lives. Mystics and scientists, together claim these
extraordinary gifts are here for the taking.

The twenty-first century has been dubbed the "age of

are impressed by the increased sharing of ultimate
experiences among people of different spiritual traditions.
Certainly publishers have taken note of the trend — making
available an unprecedented array of resources from all the
world’s religions.
Still, many of us only pay attention to teachers in our own
tradition. The result is a missed opportunity to expand and
deepen our faith by learning from sacred texts and practices
of others. Are you on the path of Spirituality? What does Spirituality

Conscious Love: Finding and Keeping Your Soul Mate
The Secrets of Lasting
Love
by Barbara Gulbranson
"A soul mate relationship is yours by divine birthright. No
matter what has come before, today is your time to love."
~
Barbara Gulbranson
We all want to feel loved. But finding a soul mate can
be a difficult and frustrating chore. Likewise, keeping
the love alive with your existing partner can create
feelings of despair and hopelessness. Most of us keep
repeating the same old patterns that just don’t work.
Despite anything that has happened in the past, an
unconditionally loving relationship is attainable right
now. Learn proven spiritual principles and discover the
joy of unconditional love.
In this class, you will heal the wounds of the past,
learn the art of forgiving, master the mechanics of
mind, uncover the secrets of the soul, reach greater
states of awareness, & boost self-esteem.

We will learn to use body energy to activate and balance the
chakra energy centers. The Spiral Meditation is a method of
self healing that can be practiced on a daily or weekly
basis to restore natural balance and promote self healing,
by sending and receiving energy.
All healing is really self healing. We need the doctor to
help set a broken bone, but ultimately it is up to our own
self. Participants will learn to do the Spiral Meditation, a
form of energy healing developed by Dr. Brugh Joy that
stimulates healing for the mind, body and spirit.
The class will also teach a method of prayer healing that
can be used for our self or our loved ones. In some types of
prayer healing we send our loving healing thoughts and
prayers out to the person in need. In this class we will
practice bringing our loved ones and/or our self into our
hearts and surround the person with Divine healing energy
that we allow to fill up our hearts.

If you got the concepts in the Power of Now, and love the
simple, easy-to-understand message of that book, you will
find a "going deeper" happening with this one.
I've always been one to disagree with spiritual teachers
about the ego - that it's basically all bad. If it's bad,
why did God create it? My feeling is if it is here on Earth,
it belongs, even though we may not understand why.
That said, Eckhart clearly defines, with excellent examples,
how our identification with the ego (and not the ego itself,
mind you) keeps us from simply being in the present and
instead tied to thoughts, concepts, mind-stuff, endless
identification with people, places, and things. He shows us
the many forms and faces that the ego takes up, and shows us
the fallacy of identifying with forms in the first place.
To identify so completely with form is to identify with that
which is doomed to extinction, causing us loss and sadness.
Wouldn't it be better if we simply observed things from an
aware state, and not get so caught up in them? This is
Eckhart's goal, to get us to a place where we can see the
benefits of raising our awareness, and actually wanting to
do so.
Ah, easier said than done, I hear you say. Within the pages
of A New Earth, Eckhart gives us precisely the tools we need
to recognize and become aware of own folly. From that higher
state of awareness, the flowers of enlightenment can bloom.
And voila, a New Earth is born.
Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped
countless people throughout the world find inner peace and
greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the
teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a
spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human
evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in
transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a
prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for
the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.
Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker and teaches and
travels extensively throughout the world. Many of his talks,
intensives and retreats are published on CD and DVD. Most of
the teachings are given in English, but occasionally Eckhart
also gives talks in German and Spanish. In addition to
The Power of Now and A New Earth, Eckhart has
written a book designed for meditative reading entitled
Stillness Speaks. A book consisting of selections from
The Power of Now is also available, entitled
Practicing the Power of Now.
"Entering the Castle is...based on St. Teresa's seven
interior mansions, which are explained and elaborated
here...so beautifully, clearly, compassionately,
lightheartedly, wondrously...[as] seven steps...to your own
deepest self or soul. Teresa became not only a spiritual
woman who had written a brilliant practice manual, but a
saint who saved Caroline's life, showed her her soul,
awakened her heart, and set her on the
never-ending...timelessly fulfilled road of practice. I just
know that Teresa would say 'amen' to this luminous book as
the fruit of her calling to you, a calling to all of us to
be mystics without monasteries in a world sorely in need of
a touch of the divine...the true self in each and every one
of us."
-- From the foreword by Ken Wilber, author of A Brief
History of Everything and Integral Spirituality
Caroline Myss
Caroline is dedicated to creating educational programs in
the field of human consciousness, spiritually and mysticism,
health, energy medicine, and advancing the science of
medical intuition. She established CMED, her own educational
institute, in 2003, which offers two programs running three
courses per year, on Sacred Contracts and Mysticism.
Additionally, Caroline maintains a rigorous workshop and
lecture schedule internationally and continues a
consultation practice with physicians, psychiatrists,
psychologists, and other health practitioners, as a medical
intuitive.
In 1996, Caroline compiled her years of research in medical
intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness,
releasing the book, ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. This book became
a New York Times bestseller and has been published in 18
languages. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million copies.
In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage
their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome as 'woundology',
characterized by a person who prefers to rely upon the power
of illness for manipulation of his or her world as opposed
to attained an independent, empowered state of health. As
with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome is
now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this
area became the subject of her fourth book, WHY PEOPLE DON'T
HEAL and HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's second New
York Times bestseller.
Caroline released her fifth book, SACRED CONTRACTS, which
became her third New York Times bestseller. As with her
previous books, this one is also in 18 languages and reports
sales of well over 1.6 million.
Due to the interest generated by her work in Sacred
Contracts, in 2003, Caroline opened CMED (Caroline Myss
Education), her own educational institute. CMED offers two
programs per year, each three sessions long. The first is on
Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism, Intuition,
and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen
nations, as well as across the United States.
In 2004, Caroline released her sixth book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF
POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller.
Through the years of her career, Caroline has taught in
thirty-five countries, continuing her international work at
present. In addition to writing six books, Caroline is the
leading recording artist for Sounds True, Inc., the major
audio recording company in the holistic field. She has
recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different
titles. Her entire library of recordings now number of 180.
In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television
program for one year with the OXYGEN network in New York
City, which ran successfully for one year.
The Four Agreements
- A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom - A Toltec Wisdom
Book
based on the book by Don Miguel Ruiz
Presented by Neil Gilbert
Featured in the premiere issue of O: The Oprah Magazine
and on Oprah's "Favorite Things 2000" segment, The Four
Agreements reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs
that rob people of joy and create needless suffering. Based
on ancient Toltec wisdom, the Four Agreements (1. be
impeccable with your word, 2. don't take anything
personally, 3. don't make assumptions, 4. always do your
best) offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly
transform life into a new experience of freedom, love, and
true happiness.
1. Be
Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using
the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about
others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth
and love.
2.
Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do
is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When
you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you
won't be the victim of needless suffering.
3.
Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you
really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can
to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just
this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4.
Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will
be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under
any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid
self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
Everything we do is based
on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves, with
other people, with God, with life. But the most important
agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these
agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what
is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not
such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from
fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth."
Don Miguel Ruiz
Don Miguel Ruiz
was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico
by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman)
grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace
their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a
nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge.
Instead, distracted by modern life, don Miguel chose to
attend medical school and later teach and practice as a
surgeon.
Don Miguel began teaching
in the United States, with his mother, the Curandera, Sarita
in 1987. He taught small groups of people in a small room in
Logan Heights, CA. Working with Sarita, he first began with
healing practices. As his knowledge of English grew, he
realized that he preferred to share his lineage through oral
tradition, rather than a healing tradition.
Don Miguel's students grew
in numbers and his mythologies and guidance grew with them.
He appeared in lectures in Santa Fe, NM, Los Angeles, CA,

In 1977 in response to many requests for a brief
introduction to A Course in Miracles, Helen
Schucman wrote "How It Came," which appears as the
Preface to the Course. The first two parts: "How
It Came" and "What It Is," Helen wrote herself.
The final part, "What It Says," she scribed through
the process of inner dictation.
As its title implies, the Course is arranged
throughout as a teaching device. It consists of
three books: a 622-page Text, a
478-page Workbook for Students,
and an 88-page Manual for Teachers.
The order in which students choose to use the
books, and the ways in which they study them,
depend on their particular needs and
preferences.
The curriculum the Course proposes is carefully
conceived and is explained, step by step, at
both the theoretical and practical levels. It
emphasizes application rather than theory, and
experience rather than theology. It specifically
states that "a universal theology is impossible,
but a universal experience is not only possible
but necessary." (Manual, p. 77) Although
Christian in statement, the Course deals with
universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that
it is but one version of the universal
curriculum. There are many others, this one
differing from them only in form. They all lead
to God in the end.
The Text is largely theoretical,
and sets forth the concepts on which the
Course's thought system is based. Its ideas
contain the foundation for the Workbook's
lessons. Without the practical application the
Workbook provides, the Text would remain largely
a series of abstractions which would hardly
suffice to bring about the thought reversal at
which the Course aims.
The Workbook includes 365 lessons,
one for each day of the year. It is not
necessary, however, to do the lessons at that
tempo, and one might want to remain with a
particularly appealing lesson for more than one
day. The instructions urge only that not more
than one lesson a day should be attempted. The
practical nature of the Workbook is underscored
by the introduction to its lessons, which
emphasizes experience through application rather
than a prior commitment to a spiritual goal.
The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity
- A Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance
based on the book by Edwene Gaines
This book contains an empowering message about the true
meaning of prosperity, designed to help anyone achieve a
life of material and spiritual abundance.
Imagine if you could achieve a life of true prosperity,
enjoying: a vitally alive, healthy body through which you
experience relationships that are always satisfying and
intimate, honest, and nurturing; work you love so much that
it's not work - it's play; all the money you can spend.
Living at this exceptional level is not only possible --
it's right there for you, Edwene Gaines explains, if only
you abide by the four spiritual laws of prosperity. Gaines
has been delivering her inspirational, life-changing message
to audiences of all faiths at workshops across the USA. Now
she brings her powerful words to readers of this, her first
book. Explaining the four spiritual laws, she shows why it
is essential to tithe to the person or place where you have
received your spiritual nourishment; to set clear-cut,
tangible goals; to forgive everyone all the time, especially
yourself; to seek, discover, and follow your divine purpose
-- which will help you to assign significance to your life
and bring a passion to all that you do.

A Return to Love
- Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
based on the book by Marianne Williamson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our
light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child
of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There
is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine,
as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.”
~ from A Return to Love, by Marianne
Williamson
From Publishers Weekly
This book is based on Williamson's discovery of A Course in
Miracles , a self-help guide whose provenance she doesn't
explain. Age 26 at the time and feeling lost and desperate
after indulging in the excesses of the 1960s, the Jewish
author had no real hope for inspiration from the course
because of its Christian terminology. But, she writes in
this guide to the guide, the program works "miracles" for
herself and for others who adopt its principles. Her
extrapolations may appeal to readers in need of spiritual
sustenance, but one questions Williamson's advice to the
gravely ill. When she encourages them, for example, to
"write a letter to AIDS or cancer or whatever illness they
might have, and tell it everything they feel"--even to
fabricate "replies" from the disease--readers are likely to
consider that a serious situation is trivialized. Williamson
is founder and president of the Los Angeles and Manhattan
Center for Living, a support service. Copyright 1991 Reed

From Library Journal
This book is based on the author's experiences as a teacher
and lecturer on the self-study guide A Course in Miracles
(Foundation for Inner Peace, 1975), the students of which
attribute its authorship to Jesus Christ. Using humorous
personal narrative, Williamson explains how applying love to
all difficulties, as advised by "The Course," can aid in
healing. Some may find the theories and practices presented
here somewhat off-putting (e.g., Williamson counsels people
with AIDS to write letters to the disease, rather than use
fear and hatred to fight it). However, New Age followers or
fans of Gerald Jampolsky (One Person Can Make a Difference,
LJ 11/1/90) or Louise Hay (You Can Heal Your Life, Hay
House, 1984) will enjoy this book. - Linda S. Greene,

Sacred Contracts
- Awakening Your Divine Potential
based on the book by Caroline Myss
In Sacred Contracts, Dr. Myss helps readers take the next
step in their personal evolutions, through the use of
archetypes as tools for self-transformation. First
identified by the legendary psychiatrist and author C.G.
Jung, archetypes are symbols for unconscious energies and
potentials held in common by all of humanity. Dr. Myss
identifies a “tool box” of 12 major archetypal patterns, and
explains their roles in the “alchemy of spirituality.”
Readers join this respected medical intuitive as she
explores how we can identify our personal archetypes,
uncover their higher purpose, and then work with them for
self-understanding and spiritual development.
From Publishers Weekly
As incongruous as it may seem at first glance to her legions
of fans, Myss, a popular intuitive healer and teacher, and
the bestselling author of Anatomy of the Spirit,
thinks it makes perfect sense to describe her approach to
spirituality as that of an archetypal "Saboteur." After all,
it takes a thief to catch a thief, she explains in her
latest work. In her workshops and readings, she goes "on a
search and destroy mission to find my students' spiritual
panic... Deep in the unconscious, our spiritual potential
lies in wait for us to release it. Sometimes you will have
to blow things out of your own way to get to it." Here, Myss
offers her readers a new system for blowing away pedestrian
notions of their purpose on the planet. She espouses the
ancient notion that our souls enter into a kind of contract
before birth that we agree to have various human experiences
and even (in Myss's version) to encounter certain people in
order to learn lessons. The author includes a technique for
arriving at 12 archetypes that rule different areas of our
life from career to sex to our highest aspirations. While
each of us is controlled in different ways by four
"survival" archetypes Child, Victim, Prostitute, Saboteur
the other archetypes that flavor our relations to the world
are up to us and as richly different as Vampire and Messiah.
One value of Myss's ingenious system is that, like the I
Ching, it teaches readers to use symbols not as
one-dimensional descriptions but as a call to reflection and
imagination and a means to see ourselves in a greater light.

Caroline Myss
Caroline is dedicated to creating educational programs in
the field of human consciousness, spiritually and mysticism,
health, energy medicine, and advancing the science of
medical intuition. She established CMED, her own educational
institute, in 2003, which offers two programs running three
courses per year, on Sacred Contracts and Mysticism.
Additionally, Caroline maintains a rigorous workshop and
lecture schedule internationally and continues a
consultation practice with physicians, psychiatrists,
psychologists, and other health practitioners, as a medical
intuitive.
In 1996, Caroline compiled her years of research in medical
intuition with her work in the field of human consciousness,
releasing the book, ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT. This book became
a New York Times bestseller and has been published in 18
languages. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million copies.
In investigating the underlying reasons why people sabotage
their healing processes, Caroline identified a syndrome as 'woundology',
characterized by a person who prefers to rely upon the power
of illness for manipulation of his or her world as opposed
to attained an independent, empowered state of health. As
with her other ground-breaking research, this syndrome is
now a recognized psychological condition. Her work in this
area became the subject of her fourth book, WHY PEOPLE DON'T
HEAL and HOW THEY CAN. This book was Caroline's second New
York Times bestseller.
Caroline released her fifth book,
SACRED CONTRACTS, which
became her third New York Times bestseller. As with her
previous books, this one is also in 18 languages and reports
sales of well over 1.6 million.
Due to the interest generated by her work in
Sacred
Contracts, in 2003, Caroline opened CMED (Caroline Myss
Education), her own educational institute. CMED offers two
programs per year, each three sessions long. The first is on
Sacred Contracts and the second is on Mysticism, Intuition,
and Healing. The Institute draws students from nineteen
nations, as well as across the United States.
In 2004, Caroline released her sixth book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF
POWER, which also became a New York Times bestseller.
Through the years of her career, Caroline has taught in
thirty-five countries, continuing her international work at
present. In addition to writing six books, Caroline is the
leading recording artist for Sounds True, Inc., the major
audio recording company in the holistic field. She has
recorded with them since 1990, producing 30 different
titles. Her entire library of recordings now number of 180.
In 2003, Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television
program for one year with the OXYGEN network in New York
City, which ran successfully for one year.
Is your life path lit by your inner candle flame, or are you
stumbling along in the dark? In Dr. Wayne Dyer’s book, 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace, he
reminds us of what so many people easily forget in the
day-to-day grind of life, that material success is not what
we are ultimately trying to achieve, and therefore it
shouldn’t be our driving force. Within each of us lies
success and inner peace, which can be found once we
understand that a deeper, richer life experience is
characterized by a burning desire, or as Dr. Dyer describes
it, an “inner candle flame.” In this thought-provoking book,
Dr. Dyer offers simple ways to change your life — and your
outlook on life. The ten principles presented here apply to
people who are just beginning their journey of discovery, as
well as those who have already embarked on life’s winding
path. Dr. Dyer urges us to listen with an open heart, and to
apply the secrets that resonate with them and discard the
rest. By doing so, we’ll learn to feel the peace of God that
truly defines success.
