 This 2½ day seminar is an incredible voyage that takes you to the state of self actualization - the Experience! Not a lecture about it, not a set of instructions for you to follow, not a description of what it's like for someone else. Instead you simply get to go to that state and experience it for yourself.Using Self-Actualization Learning Technology (SALT), this is an intensive but humor-filled experience that is guaranteed to challenge your cherished beliefs and lead you into the land of paradox and confusion. Dr P.L. (Mick) MacKenzie then takes you beyond those fierce guardians of Truth into the actual experience of a different reality - to the amazing state of self-actualization!

It Takes You "Out of Your Mind" |
| |
|
We, as healthy individuals, have a drive to express and experience the best in us, yet the human spirit comes with no guide or owner's manual. For most people, achieving health, healing and happiness has been left to fate and logic. Therefore our mind has a tendency to take over our reality, and we then identify ourselves with our mind.
The problem is, getting to the state of self-actualization is not a logical mental process at all - plus, it's different for each individual. If following what your logical mind says to do, or not do, could lead you to a life of magnificence, then you'd already be there! The truth is...
|
|
Your mind is designed to keep you "safe",
which means keeping you stuck in the familiar zone where you're used to operating. Unfortunately, the "familiar zone" is definitely not where your magnificence is!!
Therefore, this seminar is not designed for your mind, it's for your Self! It's designed to literally take you 'out-of-your-mind' so to speak, so you can have an experience of who you really are. It loosens the iron grip that your mind has on your life, and wakes you up to your authentic self so you can get more of what you really want.
We Take it Away From You On Purpose! This may sound quite strange, but...
Once you have achieved the state of self-actualization, we promise to take it away from you as quickly as possible!
Why? For two very important reasons...
You become the driver not the passenger!
Did you ever notice that when you are in the car as a backseat passenger and someone drives you somewhere that you seldom know how to later get there by yourself? But if you are actually the one driving the car, you will be much more likely to find your way back on your own?
Sure, you pay more attention when you are the driver, but there is something else at work here... when you are the driver you are actually learning the route at a much deeper, physical level. Later, even if your conscious mind forgets the way, you make exactly the correct turns just because it "feels right".
In a similar manner, we set it up so that first you get the experience of self-actualization and then you learn to how to get there yourself. You learn the road to self-actualization at a cellular level, giving you essential tools you need for every-day life.
You don't live in a remote cave
And we don't expect you to. After the seminar, you will go back to your every-day lis, I've noticed that people with an inquiring intelligent mind and a healthy dose of skepticism get the greatest results from this seminar. No "true believer" types please!
Also, we only work with a very small group at a time - a maximum of 12 people per class. This is to ensure that each person gets ample individual attention and receives the full benefits. So if you're the type of person that hides out at the back of the room of a large group so you won't be noticed, then this is not for you! We guarantee you will be "seen" and most likely to an extent you've never experienced befofe. It's vitally important for you to see just how easy it is to "lose" the state of self-actualization, because this is exactly what will happen later. Life will impact you - it's unavoidable. Another driver will cut you off, your boss will have a bad day (and blame you for it), or a salesclerk will be surly and argumentative.
The big difference is that now, instead of reacting in an old habitual pattern, you will have the awareness and the tools to consciously choose an different response! And even if you do get "caught" in an non-supportive pattern, you now have a built-in "homing beacon" that shows you the way back out.
In fact, repeatedly losing and regaining self-actualization is needed to strengthen and deepen the learning. It's similar to when you were learning to ride a bicycle for the first time - you were shaky and unsteady and probably even fell over quite a few times. But eventually, bike-riding was something you "knew" and can never forget, no matter how much time passes!
This is simply not a seminar for everybody
In all honesty, certain people get far more benefits than others from this seminar. Do you have a curious, open mind but prefer to think for yourself rather than "run with the pack"? Great! In all the years I've been doing this, those who are skeptical seem to create the most value.
And although this may be uncomfortable at times, shining a light on the persona you have created for yourself allows you to see exactly that... it is just a persona! By revealing to yourself the authentic you, things that are not you can simply fall away... Things like beliefs that aren't really yours, and characters that you may have played for so long you forgot you were the one that made them up! |

The Format...
|
|
To put your mind at least a little bit at ease, you'll be happy to know that the format of the weekend is quite ordinary and deceptively simple... We meet in an ordinary hotel conference room sit in comfortable chairs for the whole seminar. There are ample meal breaks and bathroom breaks and you can have water and drinks as you wish. All your physical needs are taken into consideration.
We also keep the space safe and protected so everyone can speak freely. During the course of the class, each person participates in an informal interview process. Also included are ample discussions, anecdotes, and jokes - often quite politically in-correct - in a very free-flowing seemingly unstructured style.
A Highly Individualized Experience
As you can probably tell by now, no two classes are ever the same. We have no lecture notes to read, no time-line to keep, no rote play-book. No two people get the same results or describe it in exactly the same way. In fact, we have difficulty explaining it ourselves since it is, by essence, an unexplainable process!
We don't pretend to know what's best for you - that would be the height of arrogance and disrespect. Instead, our job is to assist you in the process of rediscovering your own innate genius, your own magnificence.
Self-Actualization - The Experience is a very demanding and challenging class, but at the same time it is one of the most rewarding we offer. If you are curious about a deeply satisfying and more magnificent life, and are prepared for some change then this is the class for you.

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time.

Team Building & Communication |
|
Essential training for Business and for Life - Exploring a common subject within the expansive parameters of Self-Actualization Learning Technology! Building a team or being on a team that you want to be on and which will look out for your fun, vitality and happiness must be based on a set of rules that demand that the innovator of the team have fun and gets more vitality from each team encounter. There must be trust and belief in what your team wants to accomplish. It will take duration and persistence, a certain amount of ruthlessness, as well as extremely intimate, honest communication with all the team members. On your team, how do you convey to the members of your team what you want, and how do you find the team members that want to play on your team? This course is for anyone running a team including Parents, Grandparents and particularly Entrepreneurs. In this economy, what is needed, is more entrepreneurs. Too many entrepreneurial endeavors fail because of a lack of technology in teambuilding - and lack of clear goals set by the entrepreneur. If you have been looking for a team, because you know that your role is not that of an entrepreneur, this class is designed to see where you fit in the team you want. 
Brian Tracy states that within 3/1000 of one second, you know whether or not you’re going to deal with a specific salesman. First impressions count, and most sales people simply don’t know what they’re communicating. Buckminster Fuller says ‘99% of human communication is invisible’.If you don’t know exactly what you’re communicating to others, how can you get expect to what you want from them?? During our Team Building and Communication weekend, we show you how to see that which seems invisible. This has powerful effects both at work and in your personal life. Becoming more effective and efficient at communicating will make you more impactful; reducing stress and opening more doors of opportunity. Trust is a key component of both effective communication and team-building. Over the course of the seminar we examine what trust really means; not an opinion on another’s actions, but consistent prediction of someone’s behaviour (whether you ‘like it’ or not!) Properly understanding this vital and regularly overlooked distinction will have dramatic effects on the way you interact with others and give you more choices in your daily life! Through an inspiring, revealing and humour-filled weekend, you will gain insights into:

| Parenting Levels 1 - 5 |
| MacKenzie Responsive Parenting Method |
|
Most parents get engaged on a daily basis into power-struggles with their children. Everybody knows that you should not get emotionally engaged when disciplining your children. When you do, your discipline becomes a punishment instead of a consequence. In this one-day class you will learn effective tools on how to respond versus react and therefore hold your children accountable without punishment. This course is an urgent must for every parent!
Developed by Nicole MacKenzie and based on the universal principles of teamwork, mutual respect, honest communication, non-judgmental awareness and curiosity, this amazing parenting method gives you a solid foundation for raising happy, self-confident, cooperative children using accountability and discipline - without punishment.
The method shows you...
Our 1-day Parenting Classes
For parents and educators that want the fastest results, Nicole has developed a series of five separate 1-day classes. This gives you more in-depth training and personal coaching in effectively utilizing this revolutionary parenting method.
Having 5 separate classes gives you time in-between (at least a month or two is recommended) to practice the new techniques with your own family. This gives you practical experience and you will have more specific questions for the next class. You can then get more personalized coached for your particular needs and will achieve greater results overall.
What about the kids?
One of most unique and effective things about our classes is that we also offer you the opportunity to have your children trained in how the method works and what is expected of them within the new parenting system. Children have their own separate seminar and learn the basics of team meetings, time-outs, rules and consequences, and much more.
What's even more effective, is that we have the older MacKenzie children (read about Mia MacKenzie) do most of the training! We have discovered that children will easily learn and "hear" things from other children that they would otherwise resist coming from an adult. The children readily confide their manipulation "games" and engage in parent/child role play to increase their level of awareness. They readily discover the children's view point of Rule #1 - when Mom and Dad are having fun, then they too have much more fun!
It is strongly recommended that you include all your children in the seminar as this will greatly accelerate your results.
Level 1: Discipline Without Punishment
In the level-1 class you will learn effective tools on how to respond versus react and therefore hold your children accountable without punishment. This course is an urgent must for every parent!
Level 2: Team Building and Communication
Level 2 focuses on communication and team spirit. What really is a team and how do you go about building one? Level 3: Setting Your Family Stage
How to have more fun as a parent. Discover what you really want in your family 'space' and then create the checklist to get it.
Level 4: Curiosity and the Environment
Teaches you how "noticing fixes more than fixing". Build your awareness, notice your impact. Also includes conflict resolution.
Level 5: Family Management
Learn how one family member being 'out-of-balance' affects everyone. Introduction to Biological Terrain Management and Cell & Psyche to address the whole health picture of your family.

Powerful Relationships Lead to Greatness
Truly powerful relationships are like a business. Even basic Yin/Yang Male/Female attributes can be seen as business principles which directly impact all male / female relationships. The distinctions between power and strength create a symbiosis and atomic fusion which creates dynamic and fun filled possibilities outside of the realm of "typical" relationships.
But how do you go about establishing a powerful relationship? Fortunately, there are now tools that will assist you to interact with your partner in a way that virtually guarantees a successful and pleasurable relationship.
This 2-day seminar will give you those tools as we explore relationships from a totally different perspective. It will allow you to see your partner in a totally new light, as if you were seeing them for the first time. We utilize effective communication techniques and do role-play to give you the experience of actually 'being' your partner.
Nicole and Mick go into the depths and intricacies of being in a relationship with 'someone special'. For couples, this is a great way to gain common ground, trust and understanding. For singles, this is your training ground to learn the basics about powerful relationships before you form one. What you learn will be of immense value in finding a suitable 'business partner'.
If you are in a relationship, or want to be in a relationship, and are looking to explore the possibilities (at least for a weekend), come and join us for this two-day course. Everyone will discover the dynamics of truly great relationships and will have the tools to build the relationship you've always dreamed of!!
