"It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them."

- Leo Buscaglia - professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Southern California.​

Reading the quote above I can say that we had a whole lot of fun "playing" at the last seminar I hosted called Mind Games - Supercharge Your Brain! I can tell you that during the 3 hours there was not only fun, but a whole lot of laughter, exhilaration, shouts, cheers, creative stories, people representing other people, and even a few tears coming from breakthrough spontaneous realizations. 

Yes in three hours we all shared a wonderful time and in many ways with little effort at all bonded through the exercises we participated in that day. Instant friendships were created full of sharing, caring and gratitude. That's what I call a healthy brain & heart workout! 

If you missed it I'm sorry, you really did miss a great time and as I've always said...nothing beats experiential fun learning.

However, you can come to my seminar on Saturday as I lead a group of people into the practice and benefits of Mindfulness Meditation. 

More details below as well as a link to six books that were inspirational in my life in a big way. One of them was from Leo Buscaglia whose quote opens this newsletter.

With love,

I took a quick picture from our Mind Games - Supercharge your Brain Seminar. Here are a few of the participants having a lot of fun during a blindfolded exercise. The object of this game was to order themselves from tallest to shortest and the only catch was...they weren't allowed to speak!
