The latest in Jef's series of creative discovery workshops will be a romp into the extraordinary origin, ability and compassion of your secret identity.

"Every person has some unique ability, some special power. The key is discovering which powers you possess and learning to use them to achieve the goals you set out to achieve in life."

Where do I come from? What is my unique ability? What do I want to do?

The key to rediscovering the joy in day to day life has little to do withprogramming the mind to agree to some formula or doctrine and much more to do with the level of excitement you enjoy from moment to moment. The excitement begins with the ability to acknowledge that this world is full of challenges.

Get into the moment, the moment within the moment. Experience the world in a deeper sense. Beyond expectation, beyond the man made surfaces. Your senses are much stronger than you ever imagined. Your intuition is a gift. Your identity is safe!
