HOPE Healing Of Persons Exceptional

Guided HOPE Groups:
Creating possibilities with intention and affirmation.
The challenge of this decade is to learn to focus on possibility and meaning in life rather than on life’s problems and their causes. When we can focus on our innate ability to meet and move beyond challenges, we focus on what is possible; not what is wrong. HOPE groups help people face challenges in their lives by focusing on what they want to have happen, what they would like to see come of things--intention. We encourage the participant to “go for it”, and patiently wait for the results without any “shoulds” to interfere.

HOPE Groups are coached groups--guided groups--not facilitated groups. (To facilitate means to make something easy; the work of a HOPE Group is often difficult ... and there is usually a lot of humor flying around that does make the work easier. The Hope Guide is not a trained humorist, either, but s-he always has a sense of humor!) The function of a HOPE group is to help people get in touch with their inner resources that make a success of the process.

As people move through their process, we affirm them for their movement--for their success in life.
