Dear Friends,
My heart is so full after completing the Thought Coach Certification Training Program at my home! We had an awesome group of graduates, and I can’t wait to see what they will do. When you embark on the Transformational Thinking Journey, you see your life change. There’s no time to waste on negative, fear-based, and limiting thoughts, when there’s so much to do and experience that can make your life extraordinary.
There is so much to be grateful for here at the Institute! I'm thrilled to announce that we have just launched our first ever Transformational Schools program! This is a one year program featuring all-school assemblies, parent education nights, and classroom workshops for students and faculty. Our first school to pilot this program is New Roads Upper School in Los Angeles.
In addition to the launch of the Transformational Schools program, we are also launching our Practical Meditation Teacher Training, taught by IFTT Director of Education, Ben Decker. This four-week online certification training begins on October 1, and registration is now open! This program is designed to train professionals in facilitating and guiding group meditation and is a great training for therapists, yoga instructors, community organizers, and meditation teachers looking to expand their offering. More information can be found here and in the newsletter below.
Because of the launch of the Practical Meditation Teacher Training, I have dubbed this month's newsletter our "Meditation Issue," and included below you will find my video interview with Huffington Post Live on How To Make Your Morning Cup Of Tea Or Coffee Your Meditation. I have also included my latest article below, on authenticity and mindfulness, called Learn To Get Naked Within.
Below you will also find a brief recap of my recent event Sacred Sundays: Living A Mindful Life with my wonderful team. This was a gorgeous half-day event, and it was great taking such a beautiful group of souls on the Mindfulness Journey where we did Mindfulness Meditation, Mindful walking, Mindful eating, and all things Mindful as a community. Beautiful sound bath by the dynamic Dynasty Electrik and divine vegan feast by Om Chef.
I look forward to sharing more transformational news with you soon!
Love & Light,
Ora

LEARN TO GET NAKED WITHIN
Introspection Means Looking At Parts of Ourselves We May Not Like
Article written by Ora Nadrich
Self-awareness and personal growth comes from being unafraid to go within and look at ourselves more closely and honestly. The inner journey helps us to better know who we are and increases our self-perception. We can’t change or improve who we are without fully knowing ourselves...

"Meditation is not a search, it's not a seeking, nor probing. It is an explosion and discovery. It's something that comes naturally, when all positive and negative assertions and accomplishments have been understood and drop away easily."

PAST EVENT
SACRED SUNDAYS:
Living a Mindful Life
Brief recap from the event on August 26th, 2018
Couldn’t have asked for a more magnificent day with such beautiful souls to hold space with in sharing the importance of Mindfulness in all that we do. This higher intention is what made this day about coming together as a community, and valuing what it means to be present, aware, conscious, and filled with love and acceptance in our hearts each moment we are alive.
We were blessed to have a crowd of spirit seekers and open hearts fill the space, meditate together, have mindful lunch together, mindful walking, and a heavenly sound bath by Dynasty Electrik.
Big thank you to all the volunteers who aided in creating the healing experience, and all the guests who chose to sit with us and embark on their own transformational journey.

PAST EVENT
THOUGHT COACH
Weekend Certification Training
Brief recap from the event on the weekend of August 31-September 2, 2018
It was great doing the Thought Coach Certification Training Program at the home of IFTT Founder & President, Ora Nadrich. It’s getting more and more exciting to see Transformational Thinking come into play as a new way to approach how we use our minds. It’s time to let go of those old habits of thinking, and cultivate a more intelligent mind that can handle the challenges of the future.
Based on what we see going on in the world today, we certainly can use a paradigm shift in the utilization of the human brain. Get on board to evolving past sub-intelligent thinking!
Stay tuned for info on future trainings! In the meantime, check out our new Practical Meditation Teacher Training Here.
