The awaken Forums has several ways to assist you on your journey.
Personal Coaching"Donald radiates love and compassion, yet he is also very realistic about the present. He is able to see things from many perspectives AND cut through the B.S. By talking with them, he gets others to see THEIR strengths and recognize the real issue(s). I often ask myself, 'What would Donald do/think/see in this situation?'" - Pauline S., Winnipeg, Canada You actually know more about life than you may think. Just as a caterpillar instinctively knows how to become a butterfly, we humans have much knowledge about our own personal transformation process. The difference is that we have the free will to make choices which a caterpillar never has to face. The multitude of choices which we face on a daily basis can become overwhelming. At awaken our job as your personal coach is to help you learn to make better choices so that you can evolve toward your full potential and experience a more satisfying life. To serve as a catalyst to help you discover patterns, recognize strengths, and access the information you need to live the kind of life you want to live both personally and professionally. You’ve heard the saying, if you don’t like the results you are getting, then change the behavior that produces those results.

K.C Atlanta GA, USA People take many different paths to find their inner selves. Some go to workshops, others read books, and some are searching for more than a book or workshop can give them.

Your excellent skills in group facilitation created an atmosphere where the students and faculty felt comfortable in expressing their personal experiences. As a result of the success of the initial workshop, we are planning more sessions. Until then, I would like to again say "THANK YOU" and keep up the good work!!" - Donald Cleveland, Hollywood, Florida The awaken Cinema circle workshops and courses are not lectures, motivational technique, or therapy. They are a transformative learning experiences that gives participants an awareness of the basic structures in which they know, think, and act in the world. From that awareness comes a fundamental shift that leaves them more fully in accord with their own possibilities and those of others. This shift is the single most powerful attribute of the awaken Cinema circle and Awaken’s other programs. Participants find themselves able to think and act beyond existing views and limits in their personal and professional lives, relationships, and wider communities of interest. The course can be taken as a customized series or as a single workshop event;
The awaken Cinema circle is conducted in a casual environment with 4-12 people and will provide a unique educational experience for adults, combining uplifting and sometimes spiritually challenging films with theory, personal experience, self-reflection, experiential learning activities, field work, exercises, and group discussion.

"With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of ones own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities."-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from 'The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom'
