And why would you want to join?

The Whole Revolution is what is happening to the United States and the planet. It is the change emerging from deep within each of us. It is an instinctual desire to be whole-to be complete as a man or a woman. As our old institutions go through metamorphosis, our external support falls away. For example, the current economic crisis not only erodes our faith in these institutions, the crisis also evokes out of us what we often don’t experience in good times.

We start to ask questions of our lives and ourselves. These questions don’t produce quick answers. It is the intent of this site to support you in your exploration and manifestation of what you need to be whole. As we travel what we term the Whole Adventure, we begin to experience an innate sense of peace from within. This serenity is not passive; it wants to create. Out of knowing from a felt sense who we are and what we want, creation is much easier and more enjoyable.

Empowerment

As we wake up from the trance we were in, we first feel despair and anger for what we allowed. How could I have allowed this to happen? What was I thinking?

Use that grief and anger to propel you into doing what you always wanted to do or be. One great thing about times like these is that there is less to lose from changing. In fact, change might be the only thing that will save you.

If you are changing out of necessity or desire let it be easy and efficient. This is where we can help. Our five stages of change (the Whole Adventure) are what women and men have used for thousands of years. Deep within each of us is an instinctual skill to transform who we are. Most of us never use or develop this skill. Yet with some guidance and support, you can draw out your inherent skill of change.

How do you know what you are talking about?

Believe me, I’m no genius; I stumbled onto to this secret of change. I grew up with Asperger’s Syndrome and dyslexia. Throughout my childhood, I failed at most things but I made a commitment to heal when I graduated from college. With that commitment, I started my Whole Adventure. Now, 33 years later, I’ve healed these two problems to a point where they are much more of an asset than a burden. In the process of doing this, I’ve helped thousands of clients and students travel their own Whole Adventure.

I began to observe in others and myself that when deep change occurred, a common phenomenon transpired. The journey begins with a vision of what the traveler wants. Then he or she commits with action. This action brings new adventures and new help. Because it is new, it can be scary. Eventually the person reaches the center of his or her spiral down into their being. Here, he or she lets go of what is not part of his or her being -what is not working. For a moment, the person might feel alone. Once the person reorients himself or herself, the journey back begins as a process of integration and reinforcement. Once back, it seems he or she is inevitably called to help others with his or her new gift.

I was a slow learner; I had to go through this adventure a few times before I began to see the pattern. Once I saw it in myself, I quickly saw it in my clients. As is so often the case, I then realized that another person had discovered what I thought was unique. Joseph

Campbell laid out his Hero’s Journey in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Campbell uses mythology and history to explain what a hero goes through to solve an unsolvable problem.

We are in this together. The change the planet requires must come from each of us-we all know that. The Whole Revolution is how we make this change deep and sustainable. And, I hope, with grace and ease.
