They will be stored with your other information.):

This one-day certificate workshop includes:

that resulted in HOPE;
- The basics of attitudinal healing--the power of
attitudes to change our lives;
- Acknowledgment of the restricting nature of attachments
and projections
- Exploring the healing power of love and forgiveness on the one hand and being present and letting go of fear on the other;
- Review of HOPE’s Golden Book that provides the
“crucible” for every HOPE Group meeting, how it does it without becoming a treatment; and how it empowers one to live a life of serenity, courage, and wisdom until the next time we come together;
- A HOPE
group meeting where the guide is a participant, not a therapist;
- A review and discussion of The HOPE Guide's Manual.
With this experience,
participants will be capable of guiding a HOPE Group in their
community, for which they receive HOPE’s ongoing support, particularly with today's Internet VOIP technology and web cams that make face-to-face support possible over virtually any distance.
