VISION: A World in which people will rediscover and nurture their connection with unity within and as a consequence experience interconnectedness with others, nature, and the planet.

THE MISSION: Is to use NLP to help loosen our over identification with the body, and our over attachment to the outer world and our own maps so that the little deaths of change and the larger death can be experiences of liberating transition.

To help adults rediscover the connection within and with others and remove the barriers to the experience of those connections.

To support families and society in helping children maintain the awareness of their connection within.

Our identity is as catalysts for remembering our connection to the divine within.

Beliefs/presuppositions:

1. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience.
2. All beings are part of the web of connection.
3. The purpose is to use NLP to assist in the realization of spiritual connection for all people.
4. All growth is ultimately spiritual.
5. The divine is everywhere.
6. NLP can make a difference in the spiritual awareness of the planet

CAPABILITIES:

1. An increasingly ongoing awareness of our own spiritual connection as NLP trainers and the ability to communicate from that connected state.
2. Personal congruence and alignment at all levels
3. Willingness to commit to our own personal growth, spiritual and emotional as wll as cognitive.
4. Ability to begin and maintain a spiritual practice.
5. The capacity to see with compassion into the heart of another. To distinguish between pity and compassion.
6. The ability to laugh (at ourselves also)

BEHAVIORS:
Project 1

Develop and train a team of NLP students and volunteers in each center to work with people who are dying to ease their transition by assisting their healing at emotional and/or spiritual levels.
Project 2:

Developing a parenting class ( through parenting associations or school systems) weaving the developmental stages with the trans-personal insights and NLP tools in an non ideological ways so that children can maintain their connection to spirit within.

ENVIRONMENT will be:

NLP trainings, client sessions, hospices, hospitals, schools, parenting organizations, families and immediate communities and ourselvews.

The beneficial effects of this will be to support the spiritual healing of all those involved in the project (the dying people, the volunteers, trainers, and researchers).
An evidence of these benefits will be expressions of increased vitality, spiritual connection and peacefulness.
The benefits can be expected when they will have worked with the first clients.

This idea will lead to increasing intra and inter- connectedness..

We want to be catalysts.

The overall time frame for reaching the goal is 1 year.

The chief actors include trainers, assistants, NLP students.

The steps to reach the goal involve -

1. gathering information about existing models in real life and spiritual Traditions
2. Recruiting and training volunteers.
3. Practice (applying the model)
4. Feedback and support group

An effective ongoing feedback will be the improvement of the model, the spiritual and emotional health of the projects participants and progressive acknowledgement the of project by relevant societal institutions.

We will know that the goal has been reached when the processes has become part of adults spiritual education and we have feedback on the sucessful estabishment of similar volunteer projects at other centers, perhaps via an e-mail network.
