Drawing on our wide yet integrated range of expertise, we have created a selection of highly effective short courses that we term, "Life Skills for the 21st Century".

Dynamic balance is essential in our fast-changing times. We must respond to change, internal and external, or we may stumble and fall. There are 2 aspects of dynamic balance that are of vital importance:

1. Mind-body health and self-healing: Health is priceless. All our activities depend on our health and it is now clear that our health in large measure depends on our mental and emotional balance. As health costs soar and a large part of the population approaches retirement, the ability to maintain our own mind-body health is rapidly becoming a necessity. Prevention is infinitely better than cure.

2. Adapting creatively to change- whether at work or at home. All relationships require this precious skill, which necessitates self-awareness and flexibility in each moment. We must flow freely and creatively with life or else be submerged or broken apart. Stress, now our #1 health threat, is an "adaptation" disease.
