“Every quality in the outside world exists because you create it. Your brain is not the creator but a translational tool. The real creator is mind.”
From Super Brain by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and Rudolph E. Tanzi, Ph.D.

"We must urge all that have the power to live according to their own choices to set up for themselves some goal for the noble life to aim at... with reference to which they will then do all their actions, since not to have one’s life organized in view of some end is a mark of much folly."
Aristotle

The Program for Developing Creative Mindfulness

Vision Circles will show you a method to develop a clear vision of your intuited ideals that relate to all the dimensions of your life (personal, career, financial, family, political, religious) and to discover the practical ways to realize them.

The OSCAR method of Vision Circles begins by having you carefully observe your immediate concerns in one or more dimensions of your life and continues in the succeeding steps to exercise your powers of creative thinking, so that you can change ‘what-is’ into ‘what-can-be’.

The purposes of Vision Circles are:

  • To learn strategies to identify and clarify your own ideals;
  • To show you how to change ideals into action;
  • To facilitate dialogue within yourself and with others; to share concerns, ideals and practical concepts;
  • To show you how to construct a personal creed by using personal and communal dialogue.

The VisionCircles program is for those interested in developing creative thinking to improve their personal and professional lives.
