The ISA Experience
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. — Buddha
In my ongoing quest for happiness and fulfillment I participated in The ISA Experience last weekend. "ISA" stands for the "Institute for Self Actualization". The Experience is a four-day seminar that encourages self awareness and provides the right environment to learn and grow.
This was a powerful event as it provided some insight into the way I was leading my life and why certain things weren’t working. It gave me a platform from which my life could now move on from.
The presenter was great – always captivating and a lot of laughs, and the group of sixty-odd people were just amazing.
Not only did I learn a lot about myself, but I now have new friends that are free from judgment and are all following similar paths.
During the weekend, the group participates in various activities including discussions, sharings, and exercises. In the Experience, you focus on you. You are encouraged to look for yourself to see what works for you and what doesn’t – without any judgment or criticism.
I found out about The Experience through a work colleague who happened to be one of the assistants at the event.
Funny story – originally my manager and another work colleague were scheduled to attend the course. I had sent a request to my manager expressing my interest and he replied saying that if he and the other colleague found it to be of good value then I could attend the next one in July.
As it turned out my manager couldn’t attend but he’d already paid so I was asked to take his place. I was like "hell yeah!"
I’m so glad that I did it sooner rather than later. It opened my eyes to the truth behind my past actions and beliefs, as well as the way that I’ve been programmed. With the information that I acquired over the weekend I can continue to apply changes in my life. I’ve already begun.
I strongly recommend anybody interested in self-improvement to attend the next ISA Experience. The next one in Sydney is in July. It may change your life, and you certainly won’t regret it.
ISA holds events in Australia, United Kingdom, USA and Sweden. Refer to the web site for event dates, registration and further info.
We spend so much time and money on things that make us temporarily happy, why not spend some money on the one thing that can really determine whether or not your happiness is long term… You.
