Links to information about each seminar are below, and more detailed information can be found further into our newsletter:

If you want to see our upcoming videos when we post them:

I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try. 

NIKKI GIOVANNI

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, but indifference between life and death.
