Self Actualization Growth Education
A Powerful Heart-centered personal growth Program
The SAGE intensive is a powerful personal growth/therapy program for anyone seeking to live life to its fullest. It is an innovative adjunct to individual therapy because it takes people further in their healing process than they can possibly go in a one-on-one setting.
We all have mental, emotional and physical blocks that limit our joy, prevent us from knowing the truth about who we are and interfere with living up to our full potential. When we release these blocks, we allow our true self to be in charge of our life rather than old unacknowledged, hidden parts of us. Personal transformation means getting down below the surface of the roles that we play in life and reclaiming our authentic, deeper self. SAGE is an opportunity to explore these deeper levels and move beyond our unconscious self-imposed limitations. It is a powerful personal growth program that utilizes group process to facilitate healing, foster a greater sense of personal fulfillment and improve relationships.
SAGE is very difficult to put into words. It is very earth shattering. I learned more about myself in those 5 weekends than I could ever imagine. It has helped me immensely in my journey of health. It is joy, sorrow, tears, laughter, friendship. I would totally recommend it to anyone even remotely considering attending. It is an experience you will never regret.”
