Meditations on Love, Fear, Purpose & Death

Meditations grew out of a genuine desire to offer a set of mindful tools which have served me well over the past 40 years and I believe can support others in their pursuit of a life filled with more love, courage and purpose.

The central pillar of this course is meditation with the goal of not merely achieving mental and physical wellbeing but also to forging an unbreakable connection with the Universal Intelligence which pervades everything. Through that connection, participants will discover new pathways which can dramatically enhance mental, emotional and spiritual capacity.

The second pillar is forming an intention; specifically, regarding love, fear, purpose and death which are central aspects to every human life. It’s important to understand that intention is not about how we want the world to be; rather intention is about how we want to be in the world. Through intention, Meditations strives to enable participants to love more profoundly, confront fear more courageously, share their unique talents more fully and embrace death more peacefully.

The third pillar is journaling which allows participants to concretize their thoughts and emotions without concern for personal judgements and the opinions of others as well as connecting with their gratitude at the same time. In addition, journaling, when combined with meditation and Intention, enables participants to answer any critical questions they face.

Dedication

I dedicate this course to my grandson Langston and to every other infant on the planet both now and for generations to come. My good friend Marc Freedman, founder and CEO of Encore.org, often says that a true sign of hope for the future is “planting a tree under whose shade you will never sit”. This is my tree.
