CORNERSTONES FOR MEN - FOUNDATIONAL TOOLS FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL FREEDOM
Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9:00-6:30 at the Solstice Institute, Big room. - Cornerstones "New Foundation" One-Day Course Discover "Cornerstones" for Men and you will discover a path to your own unique "Calling" in life! Every man has developed a set of "foundational" values that he draws upon to live life the best he can. How these values develop; the type of environment they develop in, and whether they have developed consciously, or unconsciously, often produces internal conflicts that undermine a man[base ']s ability to lead and create a life that feels both joyful and deeply purposeful. Cornerstones for Men has developed two powerful life-changing courses that illuminate and experientially explore four key "Energies" or "Modes of Being", that are common to every man[base ']s most vital values and actions: - Purpose - Presence - Power - Passion. These energies emerge in varying degrees within each of us. Through the Cornerstones courses, each man will have a personal opportunity to view the difference between how he wants to live his life and how he is actually living his life. Most importantly, a man will discover how he can finally break free from any emotional and spiritual "survival-based" living and shift away from fear, shame, and hopelessness to a life full of inspiration, love, and service! Each Cornerstones Course is lead by a professional facilitator with years of experience in personal growth work [^] centered primarily on men. Most groups have fifteen to twenty men from all walks of life who form a respectful circle of brothers helping each other through the discovery process.
