Open to create worlds that overlap and express beyond the ability of verbal expression.

Dynamic responses bring deeper exploration. Learn how to step into the cloak of clarification to build relationships you cherish. This is not gender or age or geographic or cultural specific. It is a way of anogogic. It begins with tenderness and effort. Treat yourself dearly to shelter and protect your own being. Give new forms of consideration to those with whom you desire to share. When you have undertaken this task and reached beyond selfishness or self-centeredness, you can begin this flight beyond words.

This course creates a map for the soaring of your human spirit and for your emancipated life on earth. Each month you will receive three tasks to practice for 28 days and an ebook for support and encouragement.

Mutuality Training
English or German ebooks available

If you do not understand yourself, it is difficult to comprehend what is taking place around you. After years of research and testing, Dr. Gurnee has systematized the importance of mutuality into six stages with identifiable patterns. These can be observed in others and understood inside.

Monthly ebooks and individual coaching by Sue Gurnee are included.

Taught in sets of three platforms, Mutuality Keys 1-3 (Year 1) establishes the first three key trainings. These are directed toward collaborative relationships.

Progress through these stages can be plotted using the keys of understanding offered in this 12 -module training. These three stages (Keys 1-3) help you practice the qualities of participation, creativity, and the subtle aspects contained in goal-directed accomplishments.

Mutuality Keys 4-6 (Year 2): Prerequisite for this course: Mutuality Keys 1-3. If you do not understand yourself, you will have difficulty understanding others. If you do not love or respect yourself, it is almost impossible to love or respect what you encounter. In these next three Keys, capture the seemingly fleeting awarenesses of your operating system. Notice how subtle forms of defense can hinder the development of first three levels of any relationship. Learn how satisfactory outcomes can be prematurely diverted. When the first three keys have become valued, then a gateway can open to sustained appreciation and sincere forms of communication. Trust-filled collaborative associations can easily follow using Mutuality Keys 4-6. Three stages (Mutuality Keys 4-6) for sustained collaboration using communication, trust, caring and assurance to enhance personal relationships, team support, long-term associations, and family evolution.

 

Establishing Unified Direction
English or German ebooks available

"Unified Direction" is achieved when both conscious and unconscious thoughts are free of inner conflict. Until that time, achievements are hindered by contradictory attitudes, concepts, and beliefs that disperse energy and scatter objectives.

Unconscious thoughts are classified as involuntary. These often hold fear-based false conclusions that over-ride and determine the orientation of the conscious voluntary thoughts and reactions. This course is influential in its manner to systematize and uphold mutuality between the involuntary and voluntary parts in one's operating system.

Throughout the year, build new pathways of confidence and clarity with easy-to-follow charts and personal worksheets. Each month, students receive elegantly adorned information-packed charts and worksheets.

This brilliant one-year course is offered to inquisitive learners and those with previous training at Fields of Understanding. Scheduled throughout the year are telephone consultations and facilitation by Sue Gurnee.
