[This arrived with a note to the effect that it had already appeared elsewhere and that they had been referred here. Please forgive both Peter and me for any duplication you may have noticed. Thanks. -mod] Would you like an opportunity to explore what really matters to you? Would you also like the safety of a supportive community of friends right there on on your desktop? If so, our unique learning community may be right for you. Our community is unique because we meet via computer, using technology similar to usenet. It's unlike any other personal/spiritual growth work you've ever done. Members of our community use their personal computers and modems to connect to our multi-user system near Portland, Oregon. Participants outside the Portland metro area can use PC Pursuit to connect long distance. We participate from our desktops at times of our choosing. Our innovative group process software (groupware) supports collaborative learning and also encourages us to reflect on what is true for each of us. We work in intimate, small group seminars of 7 to 16 people. Together, we consider how we can make our work and lives more meaningful and fulfilling. Our unifying theme is living on purpose -- discovering what really matters and finding the courage to risk living it. Right Livelihood focuses on discovering and building bridges to your work with heart. Embracing Uncertainty focuses on befriending change and learning dynamic balance in turbulent times. Each includes a mix of inner, reflective and outer, practical work. Each week we consider a different aspect of a topic. After reading background material, we each select a self-discovery process that fits, reflect on what is true for us, and then share whatever we've discovered. Our seminars last 10 weeks. Participants connect for an average of 3 hours a week. Participants rate our seminars highly. The convenience, safety, and connectedness made possible by the technology create a lively and surprisingly effective self-development educational environment. It works. Judge for yourself. Ask for a free copy of our newsletter. It includes comments from participants and results from our evaluation questionnaire. Our spring seminars begin April 3. The cost is $300, only $30/week.
