Nostos Seminars™
Learning that matters – Living that fulfills!
The Program is transformative learning, NOT therapy, designed for three broad audiences.
-
Persons who engage fully in Nostos Seminars find themselves energized, enlightened, and encouraged to approach their lives with renewed purpose and imagination.
-
Corporations can expect comprehensive organizational culture transformation when Nostos Seminars are incorporated into leadership and employee training and development.
-
Communities can come together to prepare official leadership and volunteer cohorts to work in sync to enhance and expand community awareness, preparedness, and fulfillment of identified initiatives that increase community-wide quality of life.
Courses, taken in sequence, build upon each other. Each course is three clock hours in length. All ten courses must be completed to earn a certificate of completion.

-
Persons in helping professions who are experiencing “compassion fatigue” or are feeling stuck,
-
Persons for whom at least one addiction has resulted in numerous losses, griefs, and costs to lives,
-
Persons who have come to expect impoverishment as opposed to empowerment or well-being,
-
Persons already in transition or anticipating a transition, and
