The Event™

The Event is a profoundly transformative, three-day breakthrough training in which we realize our inherent capacity to have powerful, authentic and open hearted relationships in every sphere of our lives.  In The Event, we engage in challenging personal work and a deep community process that moves us beyond our past conditioning into a life of consistent honesty, passion, and deep connection with others.  The Event is a unique opportunity to clear and transform family of origin conditioning, shift positions of victimization and reclaim our authentic voice and innate personal power and wisdom.

In contemporary society, we may spend thousands of dollars and countless hours on professional education & training while never having the opportunity to develop skills and wisdom in that which is most fundamental to our lives: the quality of our relationships. As human beings, it seems we either show up at our best or our worst with one another; and in order to be at our best, we need to be able to be with other people openly and authentically under all circumstances.

The Event is about you and the specifics of your life. It empowers you to take charge of your life and live from possibility rather than limitation. The unique setting and methodology of the training is a powerful catalyst for:

  • completing unfinished business.
  • transforming negative or self-limiting core beliefs
  • reducing dysfunctional habitual patterns
  • building the capacity to effectively manage our emotional triggers
  • discovering our authentic voice
  • developing an awareness practice
  • building healthy relationships
  • clarifying and standing behind our highest commitments
  • identifying and taking critical new steps—personally and professionally
  • clearing away obstacles to personal and professional success

Business professionals, parents, teachers, skilled laborers, artists, doctors, administrative assistants, therapists, and students -- including women and men of every religious and ethnic background -- have all found The Event to be a powerful way to unblock and enrich their lives.

For professionals, The Event provides the opportunity for transforming self-limiting patterns and unconscious obstacles in service of creating powerful actions and relationships in the workplace.

For everyone, The Event provides a safe, effective setting to renew relationship, resolve crisis and learn the tools to sustain an ongoing path of personal growth and transformation.

Quotes about the Event from past participants:

"The Event did more for me in one weekend than everything I’ve tried in the last ten years." — Olga Sheean, Magazine Editor

“I realized how difficult it is for us as women to express our anger in a healthy way. It was a struggle it was for me to take my voice back and how incredible it has been since that happened.” — Linda Zolotrow

"The Event was a watershed for me. That weekend brought me in touch with myself in a way that no other experience in my memory has done." — David Lauer, peace activist

"My experience at the Event had an effect beyond the three days unlike any other retreat type experience that I have had before. The Event certainly has what I would call a mountain top componant to it: it is intense. With most exceptional and demanding experiences, once one is back in everyday life there is a certain disconnect with the intensity of that sort of experience. However, in the Event I achieved a profound perspective that is just as suited in everyday life as it was in the crucible of that experience. In my opinion, the Event achieves something very human and natural, very efficiently. Honestly, some of the things I achieved there, in one afternoon in particular, could have taken me years on my own to get to. — Richard Curtis, teacher

"My wife took The Event before me and she really wanted me to do it. I really did not want to, but thank God I finally did. It has changed my entire life." — Martin James, civil servant

"Since the Event I find that I am ruthlessly and compasssionately assessing my current relationships and engagements with people and with life altogether. I am acknowledging my responsibility for old, stuck, but comfortably uncomfortable, patterns and relationships. I am realizing, more vividly, my crippling fear, and the "me" inside that is screaming at "me" to make choices to move beyond it."
— Cindy Cochran, CPA

"Doing The Event made a big difference for my relationship. Our communication after last weekend is more tender and real than before. Watching people in The Event get out from behind armor and masks helped me see how much I protect myself and how it keeps me stuck and "right." It gave me new inspiration to be in charge of my life and be an adult who serves. This work is so needed in the world. Thank you for providing it." — Lisa R., real estate agent

"Purna Steinitz lives his life with more authenticity and integrity than anyone I know who’s alive today. He brings an amazing blend of compassion, precision, magic and genuine alchemy to the training room." — Fleet Maull, business consultant

“The Event for me was a wake up call to enliven relationship with my husband. Over the years, raising four children, careers and life had left little time in my day for relationship. Since The Event, our relationship is more alive and more passionate than ever.” — Terry Nestrud, Nurse

 “I would rate The Event as the top training in the world for healing and personal growth.” — Charles McIntyre, Businessman

 “I finally got that I am really okay being a woman. How wonderful. Being stuck was more painful, more lonely than it was to take a chance on myself." — Sandy Scala

“The Event gave me my life back, as a woman and as a human being. I now have possibilities beyond my wildest dreams." — Kirsten Altemoeller
