Our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and attitudes are multi-layered and multi-faceted. Often opposing motives and desires lay hidden in the unconscious. Without a thorough, intentional exploration of everything that lives in us, we may be contributing to the negative creation of our life experiences without realizing it.
It is possible to create a life of intimacy, fulfillment and connection. And the choice to create positively begins by saying “Yes” to this exploration, “yes” to being willing to know where and how we are sabotaging our best life in subtle, destructive ways.
We have to say “Yes” to our “No.”
In today’s challenging and tumultuous landscape, the world is calling out to all those bold enough to believe they can create more love, compassion and joy to share with others.
Would that be you? Do you hear the call?

A Call to Membership
By the time I encountered the Pathwork® in 1972, I could already see that “evil” is a superimposed label that the mind gives to what we don’t want to see in ourselves, a way to distance ourselves from what we reject. The Pathwork teachings offer brilliant insights into “evil” – in the form of the personal lower self – outlining its origins in trauma, its evolution as a defense against pain, and also the possibility for its transformation. 
We think about, or at least the mass media directs our attention to, many terrible things that are happening “out there in the world.” The list is a long one including climate change, toxic pesticides, top soil erosion, species extinction, and overpopulation. The fact is that the key to success in the environmental movement is “in here,” and by that phrase, I mean inside our heads, hearts, feelings, thoughts, and souls. All the scary facts about what’s happening out there in the world are symptoms of an inner sickness inside us, a sickness that desperately and urgently needs to be healed.
