Radical Self-Esteem Makeover for Girls

This is a class for young people who would like to develop leadership skills and the ability to speak their own truth. We are looking for a select group of young people who would like to walk the path of self-discovery similar to what the media portrays with Yoda, Gandalf, Obi Wan Kenobi, Dumbledore, and Merlin. However, we will not be studying fictional characters. We will study the ways of the sages and the most modern research on character development.

The class will teach young people how to develop a brilliant mind, a kind radiant heart and the guts to listen to their own conscience. Most likely, these kids will some day be social-reformers, inventors, great parents, CEO's and Presidents – and some of the nicest people you could ever meet or work for.

"Inner strength, cheerfulness, and noble unselfish
service to others are the basic principles of life."

This guided class will teach you how to use your body, breath and mind to achieve freedom from fear and doubt. If you conquer the world within you, then you have conquered the entire world. Philosophy, meditation, neurophysiology and nutrition will be presented in a manner that supports the goals and direction of each participant.

"To serve others you need inexhaustible wealth
- the wealth of inner strength and insight."

The Search for Wisdom - with Blair Lewis

Insight (inner vision) is something we all seek as a means to solve both worldly and personal problems. If we are lucky, something "comes to our mind" and we have our answer. What if this process could be known and controlled?  What if you could dramatically increase the accuracy of your decisions?

Increasing your memory and mental force at any age. Join Theresa Oswald, MD, Anne Schanz, PhD and Blair Lewis for an afternoon of techniques and guidance on how to stay mentally sharp. The "cognitive decline" of memory, mindfulness and mental health is a huge concern today.  As the baby-boomers reach full maturity, their concern for keeping their mind and body healthy is important to all of us.

We all know that the mind is our greatest asset. However if the mind is not properly cared for it can be our greatest hindrance. The newest research on mental function validates the power and scope of nutrition, meditation, and lifestyle habits in causing or curing this sad phenomenon of declining mental health. Join us and learn how to age wisely with a magnificent memory.
