“The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe.”

Michio Kaku

For centuries, scientists thought the brain was only capable of growth during childhood.  How unfortunate of a misunderstanding to confuse people into believing that and creating statements such as “That’s just the way I am...”  

In recent years it has been discovered that brain is capable of significant change throughout life, even into old age! It can grow and change in response to both physical and mental activities.  Simple things like deciding to learn a new language or instrument can rewire your brain and have great effects, both additive and preventative.

Just as the effects of exercise has positive strengthening effects on muscles, organs and tissues in physical parts of the body, working your brain in different ways can produce incredible results that last throughout life. The mind isn’t a muscle, but when you exercise it, it grows stronger. Similarly, when you stop using it, it atrophies.

This means that your brain can be your enemy or your hero depending on how you train it!

The conversations you have with yourself determine your ethos (environment) for what can cultivate and grow within your life and your legacy.  The type of situation created in the brain determines the condition of the harvest.

Practice moves us towards having a new brain… When you work on focusing, you increase your ability to focus. There are many ways to solve problems creatively, and when you open your mind to more possibility, you create a fluid intelligence.  Evidence shows that you will get better at doing the particular mental activity that you were busy exercising. Fundamentally you are transforming parts of your brain!

Transformational work aims to do this, but a lot of the principles in common practices only temporarily produce results.  In other words, the effects are short-term, and participants tend to be left with more questions than results.

Longing to produce lasting results for participants, a 4-day workshop called The Revenant was born. This training is an experiential and conducive experience, created by expert transformational trainers to allow participants to enter a creative playground within the environment of the active mind.  

With an emphasis on relationships that we have with ourselves and with others,  this opportunity creates a new space for your thoughts to thrive.

When you can be increasingly aware of your own experiences, reactions, and limitation, you will be able to guide your own brain training regimen. The fruit of awareness is humility, and when we are humbled, learning can indeed start.  

Inquiring into the thoughts that cause you suffering from a place of genuine curiosity is the gateways to freedom and creativity. Limitations are only put on ourselves BY ourselves.  As soon as you can become aware, you can access your actual intelligence.  

Keep kicking at the indifference until it bleeds life!
