MAY CIRCLE: Being You, Changing The World, by Dr. Dain Heer
What really matters in this lifetime, if you are not being you? Does being you seem confusing, difficult, or too abstract? What if being you was actually a personal key to freedom? What if the invitation to be you was all it took to shift what you have been receiving, or not receiving? Are you willing to come explore this? "Being You, Changing the World by Dr. Dain Heer This is a very different book. It is written for the dreamers of this world— the people who KNOW that something different is possible—but who have never had the tools before.... This is a Handbook for Generating Infinite Possibilities and Dynamic Change. For you. And the world. Ten years ago, Dr. Dain Heer started as a chiropractor in California, USA. Seemingly successful and happy, Dain Heer was on the verge of suicide when he came across Access Consciousness. With this modality, based on question and choice, Dr. Heer’s life began to expand and grow with more ease and speed than even he could have imagined possible. This book is his way of paying it forward. 'Being You, Changing the World', provides you with a set of PRACTICAL tools and processes which can change everything and give you YOU, as you truly be. It provides you with a totally different perspective of BEING. What if being you isn’t about doing something differently or being better? What if it is about BEING the energy you be, in totality? And what if that can change EVERYTHING? Your life, your relationships, your money situation . . . And the world! Access Consciousness is a system for opening the doors to anything that is possible in this world. By giving you access to your knowing. By dynamically increasing you awareness. By including everything and judging nothing. Today, Dr. Dain Heer travels all over the world inviting and inspiring people to more consciousness from total allowance, caring, humor and a phenomenal knowing. His unique points of view on of embodiment, earth, sexualness and healing transcend most things currently being taught. 'Being You, Changing the World' is his eighth book. From the back cover: 'I am not a guru. I have no answers for you. Just questions. Only you know what is true for you. What I am inviting you to, is exploring WITH me. My own path to consciousness is on going, as is yours. I use these tools every day and I keep discovering what else is possible, every day. If you’re willing, this book can guide you to Being You. And Changing the World. Is now the time?'" > Click to download an audio of the first chapter, read by Dain Heer > Click to order online Rebecca will facilitate Circle and the book's personal meaning and unique application to you, using coaching and Access Consciousness Facilitation tools.

Playing Big: Find Your Voice, Your Mission, Your Message by Tara Mohr
We began 2015 with The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks. We explored how to overcome the negative sabotage we often engage in when things start to work well...too well. We were introduced to the Upper Limit Problem, and the barriers we experience that keep us playing small instead of embracing our Zone of Genius
In March, we take the next step. In Playing Big, by Tara Mohr, we look to access our Zone of Genius by learning to "play bigger" from the inside out.
Featured on the Todayshow, CNN, and other media outlets, Tara Mohr offers, "practical tools to help women quiet self-doubt, identify their callings, “unhook” from praise and criticism, unlearn counterproductive good girl habits, and begin taking bold action."

Rebecca will facilitate Circle in order to clarify the book's personal meaning and unique application to you.

DARING GREATLY
April is about Daring Greatly, thanks to the work of Brene Brown.

THE HOW OF HAPPINESS
In February, we will continue January's conversation around happiness by exploring The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want by Sonja Lyubomirsky. We will use the book as a conversational starting point for a broader discussion on fulfillment and the role of choice in the creation of what we are getting. What are our barriers and what is required to achieve the "happier" states of heart and mind we desire? "You see here a different kind of happiness book. The How of Happiness is a comprehensive guide to understanding the elements of happiness based on years of groundbreaking scientific research. It is also a practical, empowering, and easy-to-follow workbook, incorporating happiness strategies, exercises in new ways of thinking, and quizzes for understanding our individuality, all in an effort to help us realize our innate potential for joy and ways to sustain it in our lives. Drawing upon years of pioneering research with thousands of men and women, The How of Happiness is both a powerful contribution to the field of positive psychology and a gift to people who have sought to take their happiness into their own hands." Circle Tribute: $25 When: Thursday, February 27, 8pm Where: Latham, NY (Directions provided with registration) Please RSVP to receive confirmation and preparation details. |
