ALTRU Trainings
ALTRU CENTER workshops rest on a simple, fundamental principle: each person is born whole and complete, lacking nothing. So no matter what your race, religion, socioeconomic status, or physical gifts
and challenges, everybody is born complete. The Center provides workshops, continuing education classes, and other learning experiences to support you to rediscover and return to that original wholeness.

Part 1 of our training series is about self-discovery. Who are you, once you strip away the trappings of modern life? Which core beliefs further your goals, and which ones limit you? Through exercises, games, lectures, sharing, small group work and close-eyed visualization, students have an opportunity to experience how you respond or react to life. This awareness creates new possibilities, new choices and personal insight which begins to clear a path to a purpose-driven life.

The finale of the core 3-part training is the 90-day program which supports you to integrate Parts 1 & 2 into your everyday life. With a team of coaches to support and encourage, you will create an action plan to take your life to take to the next level. You will grow your leadership skills and see how playing team, focusing out, and being in service also supports you and your goals. This is a tremendous opportunity to have fun, make life-long friendships, stretch into a bigger possibility of who you want to be, and have your aspirations take shape in your daily life. The program includes three trainings weekends (Friday evening to Sunday night) plus one Saturday Ropes course along with daily coaching and team activities throughout the week.

Masters Course
Join us for a very special event as we host Master Trainer Bettie J. Spruill. The Masters Course is an in-depth experience of the principles of mastery and the practices of living a transformed life of freedom and grace. The workshop presents a thorough philosophical and intellectual framework for transformation. As such, the Masters Course is the foundation on which the Part 1, Part 2, Living Integration and any Graduate Workshops are built. Bettie herself wrote the course based on decades of experience as trainer, facilitator and coach. ALTRU is proud to be the only center in the world to have the author herself teach this course. Don't miss this chance to spend a 3-day weekend learning with the incomparable master herself!

SERENITY, PEACE AND BREATHING
Trainer: Rob Israel
​
October 8th, 2023 @ 3 PM (3 hours)
Breath is the vehicle to conscious awareness, mindfulness and presence and can also help us access our unconscious and the hidden material that is the basis of our conditioning. In this 3-hour workshop, ALTRU Center co-founder Rob Israel, will teach the fundamentals of meditation and various breath exercises to support well-being, manage stress and reset the nervous system. We will then have a facilitated Breathwork session and use conscious connected breathing to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness using a proven, known, safe and drug-free methodology. This technology, while already over 50 years old is just now coming to the forefront of personal growth and will take you places that provide clear insight into your identity, your life, your relationships, and your connection with the divine. Join us in this special opportunity to take a deep dive into the unknown and physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of who you are.
