Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for the VisionWorks seminars?

VisionWorks is for anyone who wants to make their life work better. Whether you are searching for stronger relationships with yourself and others, or seeking a way to make a difference during your time here on earth, VisionWorks will happily introduce you to your possibilities and the means for manifesting your vision. Whether you are searching for the avenue to a successful career or struggling with relationships, you will acquire tools for creating joy, vitality and fulfillment. The mainframe seminars are open to individuals over eighteen. Often students take the seminars when they are at a crossroads in life–graduating from high school or college, about to be married or divorced, longing to make a career change or going through some other rite of passage. Some students are very clear on what they wish to create in their lives as a result of the seminars. Others have a vague sense that something is waiting for them. Some students are functioning very well in their lives, yet know that there’s more and they’re looking for the tools to improve their situations and do so exponentially. Some are stuck on the ladder of life, and are not sure how to move forward. Others are struggling with destructive habits or addictions. Through commitment, all can succeed and manifest their dreams by using what they learn in the seminars.

Do the VisionWorks seminars replace therapy?

VisionWorks is education, rather than therapy. VisionWorks seeks to sustain a cooperative relationship with counselors, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other members of the psychotherapeutic community. Whenever people undergoing therapy present themselves as candidates for the seminars, we request that they discuss the matter with the care-giver and create agreement so that everyone is working together to achieve the highest good of the student/patient. Since the orientation of the VisionWorks seminars is to discover solutions, rather than to dwell in the problem, people often find their therapy is accelerated as a result of the seminars. As students become more accountable for their wholeness and overall well-being, they may even decide to suspend therapy or even to close this avenue of their lives. We always encourage healthy, mutually agreeable completion, with the therapist’s support.

Will VisionWorks compete with or in any way invalidate my religious beliefs?

As with all responsible education, VisionWorks aims to enhance everything in your life. By adding to your body of knowledge, and by increasing your sense of wholeness, you will find all areas of your life magnified. Through deepened commitment and heightened awareness, you will likely to become a more devoted member of your religious community and more genuinely engaged in your spiritual life.

Does VisionWorks threaten my significant relationships in any way?

VisionWorks stands for the health and continuity of relationships, particularly those with family members, including spouses, children, parents, siblings and extended family. VisionWorks encourages active engagement in the healing and growth of these relationships throughout each seminar. Although growth always means change, and some people feel threatened when their loved ones grow, we urge students to include their family members in their growth and keep them informed. We have found that relationships with others as well as with oneself benefit hugely from honesty and unconditional love. We support the healing and growth of all relationships except in situations where lives are endangered by dysfunction. We also encourage the enhancement of relationships with co-workers, neighbors, and other community members.
