Every experience can either lead to greater fulfillment, enjoyment and a deeper connection to the world around us or it can lead to isolation, suffering and pain. It is easy to become trapped in the maze of daily living; it is easy to forget how powerful we truly are and the difference we are here to make.

School is meant to be a time of great personal growth, expansive and transformative, leading towards finding one’s true place in the world. Yet, many students express a feeling of being overwhelmed by their lives, their emotions, their negative and self-critical thoughts and fears about the future. In these conditions, it is even more attractive to retreat into the maze.

The truth is, we are all faced with choices and each one is significant. Something very big is at stake. And, the waters of our lives are often turbulent and pressure comes at us from every direction. So how do we stay in the channel and keep from hitting the rocks over and over again? How do we respond to these pressures and make the most positive and productive choices which will lead towards true fulfillment, satisfaction and joy?

The Way Back Out...

The maze is, in fact, real. In “the way back out” workshop, we first define the maze and then become keenly aware of it. In this new awareness, the students discover how to get onto the path back out. Together, we explore specifically how to walk this new path. As we do, the group gets in touch with what we call “the deeper wish”, what each person is actually here to do in this life and how to make the biggest difference in a troubled world.

“The way back out” has been designed for students with any major

or interest. It is experiential, it is challenging, exhilarating, thought provoking, inspirational and deeply human!
