THE POWER OF DECLARATION, AN INTERACTIVE LIFE COACHING GROUP - Jun 30,08
In our day to day life, most of us are constantly taking care of different common tasks such as going to work (or searching for it), making and spending money (or hopping about it), trying to improve our relationships (or thinking about it), getting involved in different social activities (or planning for it), and etc. The combination of these activities eventually becomes so intense that we start thinking that our life is about taking care of those. We do not see any new possibility in our life, lose the hope of any change, and eventually give up on our dreams and /or ourselves.
In the offered group course, you will be exposed to the space of possibilities, how to find them, how to catch them, and how to create them. How would your life change if you were constantly creating new possibilities in it? There are always possibilities that you are not even aware of their existence at the time being.
Class starts on Monday, June 30th, INSTRUCTED BY: PARVIZ NASSERI, M.A., info: (310) 897-3456 More...
