High Mesa Happenings & Heartstrings

New ITP Group Forming

New Group Forming …

 

"Whatever your age, your upbringing, your education; what you are made of is mostly unused potential."

- G. Leonard

 

A new, local group interested in personal development, community involvement and establishing a long-term practice will be accepting new members for a minimum six month commitment at High Mesa Healing Center (HMHC). We are looking for interested participants eager to commit to a fun, working group that will start on July 14th, 2008 and grow into a close knit community. As of June 16th, you may drop- in to our current group and learn more about our ITP practice and how it will benefit your life.

The practice is based upon Michael Murphy's (Esalen Institute cofounder) and George Leonard's (human potential explorer and author) development of an Integral Transformative Practice (ITP).

 

What is Integral Transformative Practice (ITP)? 

 

ITP is a long-term program initiated at Esalen Institute for realizing greater success, health, and fulfillment in our lives and for realizing the full potential of body, mind, heart and soul in the life we are given.

The practice is INTEGRAL in that it deals with the body (through exercise and eating habits), the mind (by reading and discussing books and articles concerning human potential), the heart (through group process and community activities, and the soul (via meditation and imaging).

The practice is TRANSFORMATIVE in that it is aimed at measurable, positive individual change in body and being.

It is a PRACTICE in that it involves long-term, regular, disciplined actions which are of value to the individual irrespective of any specific short-term external rewards. In other words, these actions and activities are of intrinsic value and demonstrate improved quality of life and nurture tangible human growth.

 

What we need from you:

 

Early participation! If you are looking to make a desired change, enrich your personal life or become more community oriented, pick up a copy of THE LIFE WE ARE GIVEN by M. Murphy and G. Leonard (ISBN# 0-87477-792-5) and join our discussion now. We are meeting every week on Monday evenings from 6-8PM. You can get more details by contacting VILLAGE WELLNESS at 258-2258.
