Surrender & Trust
This month’s theme at COR is Surrender & Trust. We might do well to reorder that to Trust and Surrender. Trust is the prerequisite for surrender. It seems to me we all have an instinct for Surrender, that giving over to something bigger than ourselves. On some...
Great Free Resources to help you with Truth & Honesty in your Life
At COR, the April theme has been Truth and Honesty, two very important pillars of the transformational journey. We’ve had several people’s take on this subject, from Lee’s introduction to this theme, about how we at COR value truth as a courageous and unwavering...
Truth Creates Self Love
Many of you may know that my wife, Liz, and I recently welcomed our second son, Levon Jude Steinberg, to the world. I have been soaking up quality time with my sweet family and enjoying my paternity leave. However, you may also know that one of my most favorite...
A Path to Intimacy
Truth and honesty? Oh my. When I first learned this would be the topic for April, I jumped at the opportunity to write an article. I have so much to say about this, so much to share, to teach. This subject is so vast; it could take lifetimes to explore it. And in many...
Truth and Honesty
I’ve spent many years now in personal growth work - attending workshops, leading workshops, striving to become the best version of myself and assisting others to do the same. Two necessary elements of the journey that I keep getting invited to embrace are truth and...
Want more Presence? Try this free Body Scan Mindfulness exercise!
At COR, the March theme has been Presence and Mindfulness. To recap: Presence is bringing awareness to the moment at hand, keenly attuned in “real time” to ourselves, especially our physical sensations, and to who and what is around us without being pulled into the...
Rather than Numb Out, Tune In!
As Lee and Aaron have mentioned in the previous newsletters, mindfulness and presence are such an integral foundation for personal growth. They help us attune to what’s happening right now for us with non-judgemental awareness. Without presence or mindfulness, we just...
But how do I actually BE mindful and present?
Once we understand, as Lee explained to us last week (if you missed Lee’s email last week, I highly recommend you go back and read it, as I will use his definitions as a basis for my inquiry), that presence and mindfulness are paramount to well-being, the next...
Presence & Mindfulness
This month at COR we are focusing on the importance of Presence and Mindfulness. These two tools are simple and yet profoundly important. We often find ourselves worried, problem-solving (a.k.a playing ineffective “mental gymnastics”), spinning in regret and fear. And...
Want more self-compassion? Make it a daily practice!
At COR, the February theme has been Compassion and Forgiveness. Compassion really has three different aspects: giving compassion to others, receiving compassion from others and extending self-compassion. All three are equally essential, and one overflows to the...
Compassion, Forgiveness, and the Bully
It is an honor to have one of our facilitators, Steven Kimmelman, share his story with you about Compassion, Forgiveness and the Bully. Enjoy! "As I live each day, it's hard to imagine compassion and forgiveness, and their opposites, not being present. Whether I am...
Forgiving my father
It is February again! It's the month of Love and here at COR, we will focus on the qualities of compassion and forgiveness, two very important facets of any real love. Since nobody and nothing is ever perfect in this world (have you ever noticed that?), both of these...
Want a New Beginning with Your family?
As we are nearing the end of the month of January, with the theme of New Beginnings, Openness to Receive and Beginner’s Mind, here is an inspiring sharing from Steve Mock, one of our 2017 Leadership Development Training participants, about a new beginning with his...
Are you open to receive the gifts that don’t feel like a gift?
Since this month at COR is all about the pillars of new beginnings and opening to receive, I figured I’d dive head first into this topic in my own life as well. It’s definitely been quite the experience so far! So, last Monday, I began my morning meditation by saying...
A New Beginning with Money
Below is a written piece by Elisabeth Becker, one of our 2016 Leadership Development Training graduates, and a gifted grief coach. As January at COR is all about new beginnings, Elisabeth is sharing about having a new beginning around her finances: Hello dear COR...
