Self-Actualization - the Experience

Incredible Voyage

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 owners 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 life. 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, 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 - only 10 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 before.

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.

Life will never be the same afterwards, guaranteed!!
