Consider this an individual actualization course. The following materials have been compiled over a 32 year process of spiritual growth, seeking and individual transformation,
Shared by Dr. Andrew Skadberg, Ph.D. (Andy)
The following outline sets up a "course", or preparation for both individuals and groups who are participating in the Newday Wellness experience, or for that matter, any new venture into personal growth and transformation. The following are suggestions for individuals to read, contemplate and potentially use as guideposts for discovering YOUR-SELF, which ultimately is what we are all here to discover (quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson). This resource is closely associated with the Reverence for Life University which was officially launched in Jamaica in 1994, and has since been evolving into the "University of You!" At the bottom of this post you will find several Websites that are available for individual, community and organization re-creation.
Two quotes to start are "We are all in this together" and "Be the Love and Peace You want to Experience in the World" ~ Andy

Vision
“Authority without vision is the author of much confusion.”
Desmond Donald Green
Our Vision is to create harmonious playing/working
relationships to fulfill the members of the group’s personal aspirations and
visions; to support the whole being, spiritual, physical, mental. To create an
environment which maintains integrity of the group while assuring that no
member “falls through the cracks”. Where, potentially, a long-term support and
encouragement group is formed to allow each of the members to thrive and
realize their personal potentials to the fullest. To create a fun and
full-filling experience that will inspire each person to go realize the potential
of NOW and to go forward with their lives with enthusiasm, joy and abundance. Eye Am Breathing this Reality into Being, NOW.
Mantra: "MY BREATH IS MY PARADISE OF ORIGINAL SWEETNESS" - it is recommended that this be repeated as often as possible, either verbally, or in thought.

Timelessness of the Experience
Our now moments reach into our future and past. We can
transform our past by changing a belief now. As we embrace each now, our future
is altered.
THE PRESENT IS THE POINT OF POWER
All of your physical, mental and spiritual abilities are focused
together, then in the brilliant concentration of "present" experience.
You are not at the mercy of the past, or of previous convictions, unless
you believe that you are. If you fully comprehend your power in the present, you will realize that action at that point also alters the past, its beliefs and your reactions.
In other words I am telling you that your present beliefs, in a
manner of speaking, are like the directions given to the entire
personality, simultaneously organizing and reorganizing past experience
according to your current concepts of reality.
The future--the probable future--is being altered in the same way, or
course. To look backward for the source of current problems can lead
you into the habit of seeking only negative episodes from your past, and
prevent you from experiencing it as a source of pleasure,
accomplishment, or success (very intently).
You are structuring your earlier life through the dissatisfaction of the present, and therefore reinforcing your problems.
It is as if you were reading a history book that was devoted only to the failures, cruelties and errors of the race, ignoring all of its accomplishments. Such practices can
lead you to use your own "history" so that it gives a very distorted
picture of who and what you are--a picture that then paints your present
circumstances.
Those given to such practices--constant examination of the past in
order to discover what is wrong in the present--too often miss the
point. Instead, they constantly reinforce the negative experience from
which they are trying to escape. Their initial problems were caused precisely
as a result of the same kind of thinking. A great many unsatisfactory
conditions result because individuals become frightened at various
periods in their lives, doubt themselves, and begin to concentrate of
"negative" aspects.
........
The question. "What is wrong with me?" will only lead you to create
further limitations, and to reinforce those that you do have, through
exaggerating such activities in the present and projecting them into the
future.
Which you? Which world? These questions are to be answered in the
"now" as you understand it, through the realization that your power of
action is in the present and not in the past. Your only effective point
of changing any aspect of your world lies in that miraculous instant
connection of spirit and self through neurological impact.
To rid yourself of annoying restrictions then, my dear friend, you repattern your past from the present.
Whatever your circumstances, you use the past as a rich source looking
through it for your successes, restructuring it. When you search it
looking for what is wrong, then you become blind to what was right, in
those terms, so that the past only mirrors the shortcomings that now
face you.

Application of The
Practice for both the Individual and the Group
The Practice will provide the foundational
principles/guidelines for both the individual and the group experience. The
reason is to keep the group dynamics based on solid footing while keeping the
process of group communications and interactions as simple as possible. Of
course, each group is free to develop their own processes based on their own
ideas or referencing other materials and experience.
Our emphasis on The Practice is simply to provide guidelines
that will keep the group playing and working together for the common goals of
the individuals and the group. Special attention should be given to the
principles of “Trust”, “Spirit of Generosity” and “Breath Based vs Imaged Based
Relationships”.
Here is a General Outline of the preparation for this Course/Experience
1. Preparations - for trip, familiarization with Newday program and India experience.
2. Studying, contemplation, journaling.
3. Specific preparations for travel.
4. Completing the preliminary reading and reflection and writing.
5. Preparing, adjusting, contributing to be part of the team experience.
6. Study Newday process and expectations/requirements.
7. Prepare personal Study guide, plan and statement as extensive as desired.
- see Recreation Experience Model -
8. Travel to
9. Onsite Experience
10. Return home, and processing of the experience
Outcomes
Although every person, ultimately, determines what their benefits will be from any experience, we do have some suggestions for what could be expected as a result of their participation in the Newday (Reverence for Life) experiences. Here are those suggestions: (r = required, s = suggested)
~ Vision/Mission Statement (r)
It would be highly beneficial for each student/participant to have a written statement of their Vision that results from their experiences. (More information can be found at the Vision Excelerator about the importance of written, "non-contradictory" statements about a person's intention for themselves.)
~ Continuation Plan (Health, Wellness, Excercise, Practice) (r)
Newday (RFL) will Share a specific set of activities to continue the health and wellness benefits of the experiences. This item is about developing a personal plan/strategy for continuing the experiences after we return from India. This item may or may not include activities with your team/tribe.
~ Vision Strategy - Life, Bigger Picture (s) - what do you want to create? Who are you? What is your grandest dream? What would like to create as a legacy?
~ Completed journal with reflections from experiences (r)
- this is each persons personal property. There will be no requirement to share this with anyone, unless the participant desires to share with others. There may be some benefits to Sharing, but truly there will be no expectations to do so.
~ Ideas for continuing working with team/tribe (s)
~ Bucket list (s)
- inspired by the movie "The Bucket List", this would be an initial set of life experiences that each participant is interested in experiencing. There will be a lot of latitude for how this is expressed.
