Course description:
Living the Power of Now is about learning to apply the practice of Conscious Presence in your life. Eckhart Tolle writes about this in his best selling book The Power of Now.
The basic idea is learning to live the Real You in the now moment. First it must be realized and then actualized.
Our society has taught us how to be an ego personality. The problems with ego abound. For example, ego at its core is self-centered, immature, judgmental, critical, negative, alone, etc. It sees in dualities, lacks wisdom and constantly judges ourselves and others based on its limited perceptions, biases, beliefs and prejudices. In addition, the ego is also limited in that its conceives and acts through object relations. It sees everything as an object that must be manipulated to fulfill what it wants. We suffer accordingly.
You have Real Being which is conscious now. The natural qualities of your True Self are peace, contentment, joy, holistic wisdom, and more. To experience this is to be a Real Being in a Real World. It takes a shift in consciousness for this realization, and it is a natural shift. This course will be about learning and practicing this.

Experience:
I have a master's degree in Human Development, and I have been studying conscious presence since 1978. Also, I have been facilitating courses, retreats, and weekly groups on the Power of Now for the past 6 years including an EXCO class on March 16, 2008 (15 attendees) I am trained in professional education and have been teaching in various capacities since 1977. The challenge is to get people to see a new paradigm about themselves and their world. To be successful, I will use concepts followed by experiential learning.
