Vision Keeping

While Connie was working with the women and consumers at Horizon’s, she  developed a unique curriculum for them.  The curriculum entitled Awake and Inspired provides information about how our beliefs create our lives and changing one’s belief system in turn changes one’s life. *

This process is a step by step series of seven segments of learning which help each person discover their own beliefs which have shaped their lives and also learning new ways to look at the world.

 The ideas of the curriculum are not new.  The Law of Attraction, the idea that we create our own realities, the ideas presented in Positive Psychology, the power of gratitude have all been discussed a great deal particularly in the last 10 years.

Putting these ideas together in a powerful way to shape thoughts and feelings so we can have the ability to create the joyous lives we were meant to have, is unique.

Now it is Connie’s desire to offer this powerful tool in a one on one or small group format to a select group of individuals.  She has observed countless people wanting to live the life they intuitively know they were meant to have and yet cannot find their way.

With her extensive background dealing with people who have clearly gotten off track, she is particularly poised to be of assistance helping people shape their own amazing futures.  And with her clinical background and her experience in the field of substance abuse, she is skilled with virtually every sort of history.

 Connie’s work has been impacted deeply b y many teachers.  Early on she had extensive training in Gestalt Psychology and, while what she does is not strictly therapy, Gestalt Psychology is one lens through which she sees the world.

Connie has also been affected by the 12 Steps and their spiritual approach to life,  She has learned much from Joan Borysenko about the power of meditation.  Caroline Myss has widened her beliefs about the mind/body connection and made the concept of spirituality more mainstream and central to life pointing out the differences between spirituality and religion.  She learned about the healing resources of guided imagery from Belleruth Naperstak.

 A particularly important teacher has been Louise Hay who, as the “mother” of affirmations, demonstrated the power of words and beliefs in shaping and changing your life.

And, more recently, Esther and Jerry Hicks and their teacher, Abraham, have provided a significant impact with the Law of Attraction and how we literally create our own lives by our beliefs.

 *Connie first developed a curriculum with Jim Morningstar called Personal Effectiveness Training and after teaching this initial model, rewrote the material which now more closely morrors her own beliefs and ideas.
