Winter has been a time of quiet and creative hibernation for the CSC. A paring down, simplifying and connecting to that which is truly essential--to our passions!

Now that spring has sprung, or is about to (hmmm ...), new forms and expressions of our work are manifesting, along the lines of our deepest intentions. We are following where wisdom leads, and it truly feels like spring here, from the inside out!

Responding to results from our recent Survey Monkey, we are initiating new classes that will be virtual classrooms (accessible by Skype and phone) and drop-in programs at convenient times on weekends, plus, we are planning a yummy fall retreat.  (Details follow.)  Communities are also in our hearts as we look to ways we can support you in spreading these Principles close to home. Time and again we're reminded just how big a difference can be made in the communities where we live. 

Spring has also brought an office move, so you might want to take a quick moment to make a note of our new address.  

So here's more on what's up...  

New MONTHLY OPEN CLASS

CSC is re-starting our monthly Open Class: "Peace of Mind is What You Are" at our new group space in Palo Alto, the last Sunday of every month, 4 to 6 pm. 

This class is facilitated by either Ami Chen Mills-Naim or Gabriela Maldonado-Montano, Co-directors of the CSC, and 3 Principles practitioners for a combined 30 years.

Open Class is based, simply, on the three principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought and deepening our understanding of them as individuals. Our own understanding then manifests in our personal lives and in our work, as increased peace of mind in all circumstances, more grace and efficiency. Open Class is appropriate for professionals, parents and the general public.

Next dates for Open Class are Last Sundays: March 27, April 24, May 29 and June 26. Class fee is a suggested, sliding scale donation of $20 to $45.  

Please e-mail info@principlespsychology.org with your name and phone number to RSVP, so that you might notified in the event of an unlikely cancellation.  

Location is at 2878 Bryant Street,  Palo Alto, CA 94306  

New Class for Teachers and Practitioners!

For those who have some prior experience with the Three Principles, we are pleased to offer a new monthly teleconference class, "On Teaching Peace" for those who share the principles, or would like to share with others more directly, in their work or professions.

This class will be offered monthly on the Third Thursday of every month, beginning Thursday April the 21st, at 11 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Central/2 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. in the U.K.  

• Sponsors, NCRP partners, partner staff, CSC Board Members and volunteers attend at no charge  
• All others: per class drop-in fee is $40.00  

You can find out more and register online here.   

If you have questions, we'd like to help. Here's how to email us or talk to us by phone.  

New Retreats!

"Thank you, this was a wonderful and important class for me ... Just 'being' and operating from my health and natural wellness is so profound to my daily life."

--CSC class participant

We continue to provide Principles-based coaching and training to individuals, couples and families at our offices and beautiful meeting spaces in Santa Cruz and Palo Alto.

Our annual group retreat is currently planned for early September, 2011.

We are very excited about all the ways the Three Principles are spreading into new communites and organizations.  After planting lots of seeds, we are anticipating the coming months of continued flowering. We look forward to how you will be a part of that. 

With Gratitude and Spring Joy!
