FIRST MONDAY
A Gathering  of Curious Friends
​Every Month in Orlando

On the first Monday of each month, beginning at 7:30 PM. There is a public event at Phoenix Services.   These events give us the opportunity to gather with friends, exchange ideas, review various topics about personal growth and evolution and to introduce new material as well.

Self Control
Tools for Managing Your Life
​Monday
August 5th, 2019
7:30PM
Sometimes it seems that our emotions overtake us, or that we just can't summon up the personal resourcefulness that we need to be at our best.  In this presentation we'll explore some tools, tips and strategies that you can use to take charge of your inner life.

We'll demonstrate some simple techniques that you can use to manage stress and anxiety, and we'll guide you through the BEAT process - a revolutionary way to gather up the particular qualities that you really want to have in a potential challenging situation.

You can use this method to "put on your best self" whenever you want it.  It's quick and easy and highly effective.

The evening will consist of a lively discussion and a guided process that you can use on your own afterwards.
