A THREE-YEAR EDUCATION

The Authentic Power Program is the most transformative, in-depth, and comprehensive program for learning to create authentic power on the planet.  It is a three-year exploration and experience of creating authentic power in close interaction with Gary Zukav and Linda Francis.

The Authentic Power Program is designed specifically for those who are committed to creating authentic power.  Authentic power is the experience of fulfillment, joy, creativity, and full engagement in the present moment.  It is the experience of having exactly what you need, knowing that your life has purpose, and knowing that everything you do serves that purpose.  It is also the experience of joyfully accepting yourself and others, creating with an empowered heart, and freedom from attachment to the outcome.  Joy, creativity, and gratitude fill your awareness, even when your experiences are difficult or painful, and you strive to create harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life   – the intentions of your soul – as naturally as you strive toward water when you are thirsty and food when you are hungry.

The Authentic Power Program is experiential and a big part of it is practice, which gives you the ability to apply at home what you learn in the program.  The Authentic Power Program is a microcosm of your life in which you learn to use your experiences, including your emotions, to grow spiritually.  Everything that you share and do in the Authentic Power program will be used to help you create authentic power.  As you develop the ability to see your experiences differently in the program, you also begin to see your experiences at home, at work, in school, with your children, your parents, and your neighbors differently.  The Authentic Power Program is a special opportunity to transform your experiences from those of a victim to those of a creator who is responsible for what she/he creates.

You will learn with the support of others who are also committed to creating authentic power how to use your emotions to grow spiritually, consciously choose your intentions and what they create, recognize and access your intuition, and develop trust in the compassion and wisdom of the Universe.  The three-year Authentic Power Program is a portal into a community of people striving to become spiritual partners, people who are transforming their lives from the pursuit of external power (the ability to manipulate and control) to the creation of authentic power (the alignment of the personality with the soul).  Creating authentic power is essential for everyone who is interested in, or actively working toward, creating a planet without conflict.

The Authentic Power Program will help you make the journey from your head to your heart – from an experiencer of your life to an experimenter in your life, from a victim of your experiences to a creator of your experiences – that you were born to make.

If this goal calls to your heart, come join us in one of our five-day Path to Authentic Power retreats so both you and we can see if becoming part of the Authentic Power Program is a good fit at this time.

We are looking forward to being with you.
