Why 'AuthentiCity'?
|
The secular techniques we use are authentic and effective; they come from traditions that have been perfecting a science of the mind for over two and a half thousand years. By secular we mean open to all, regardless of belief.
We do our best to be authentic teachers, we will only teach you techniques that we have mastered for ourselves. The techniques we teach can all be empirically validated, and we will never ask you to accept anything that you cannot verify for yourself. We won’t ask you to exchange one set of values for another, instead we will encourage you to strengthen your own inner authenticity, where more and more the actions you take align with the values you hold. This is a healthy and organic approach to reducing anxiety, remorse, dissonance, and inner turmoil. |
The Training

The Rewards
This training will steadily bring clarity, energy, and peace of mind. You will learn to combine a specialist's attention to detail while maintaining a broad perspective.
We approach our training through three main perspectives:

We approach our training through three main perspectives:
Secular concentration: we offer authentic training for the mind.
Secular understanding: we encourage you to look at your mind, what goes on there, and to notice its effect on your everyday life.
Secular values: we don't ask you to exchange one set of values for another; instead you train to enhance the positive values that you already hold, awakening your emotional intelligence, and training out of problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, addictions and obsessions.
In all these areas we encourage a rational, subjective based, empirical approach to heart and mind. Our main focus is on training in secular concentration. Secular concentration is the key to discovering more about your mind, and how effective it can be.
