Monthly Meeting

The Journey of TRUE Freedom

Presentation by Ricardo Flores-Clar

There is an immense opportunity to help individuals in organizations throughout the United States and the whole world live significantly more fulfilling lives. Many people are trapped in the prison of their own self-imposed limitations, not realizing that they have been endowed with wonderful gifts, that if developed and put at the service of others, many needs would be met. These needs would be met in incredible ways, not only bringing relief, healing, improvement, but also enabling the “gift-giver” with the joyfulness and fulfillment of a more purposeful journey of life.

In this presentation we will discuss thoughts and insights into what keeps us trapped and then how we can become FREE from those self-imposed limitations, how we can be catalysts in making our organizations and the world a more fulfilling and purposeful place.
