Last night I was delighted - deep delight is about the only way I can describe it - to give a presentation to some of the people at JFK University at the Pleasant Hill campus. Anyone who is at all interested in personal development should take a close look at the programs offered here, especially those based at the school of Holistic Studies, which includes such programs as Transformative Arts, and Transpersonal Psychology; and the whole wonderful list is described as the Arts and Consciousness Programs.

It made me giddy with joy just to now such a place exists.

And what wonderful people came to the talk! I knew I was in an extraordinary place from the moment Patty Morris welcomed me, and when Marilyn Fowler appeared that
impression was confirmed.

This roomful of people who think differently about what makes for fully-actualized, fully healed human beings, was an inspiration to me. There is something beautiful about those who have taken the individual path of learning and discovery. While that road may be hard and challenging it is never tawdry, dull, or depressing.

Today, writing this, I feel privileged to have been given the chance to stand before these good people and share a few of my ideas and to enjoy the discussion. Today I realize how truly moved I feel by this experience.

Thank you, Julie Stiles, for making it possible. Thank you everyone for the work you’re doing. Peace really does have more of a chance with you all working towards it.
