USLC welcomes Leonard Szymczak!

The Roadmap Home: Your GPS to Inner Peace - Sunday, August 8, 2010

Leonard Szymczak, MSW, LCSW, has been a psychotherapist and educator for over 35 years, both in Australia and America, working with individuals, couples, families and groups. He was Director of the Family Therapy Program at the Marriage and Family Centre in Sydney, Australia and later served as a senior affiliate therapist with the Family Institute at Northwestern University. His new book is The Roadmap Home: Your GPS to Inner Peace. He is also the author of the novel Cuckoo Forevermore, a light-hearted satire on psychotherapy, and its sequel, Kookaburra’s Last Laugh, due out in 2010.

Leonard has conducted countless seminars and presentations and has written numerous articles on mental health, personal development, stress management, and relationship building. Throughout his life, Leonard has been committed to ongoing personal growth and believes firmly in the power of the individual to overcome adversity and transform one’s life.

Like the mythologist Joseph Campbell, he utilizes the concept of the hero’s journey to help individuals reshape their stories into amazing adventures. He firmly believes that when connected to the Guiding Power of Spirit, individuals can shift problems and pain into opportunities for healing and growth and return Home to love and inner peace.

A licensed clinical social worker, Leonard lives near the beach in Southern California where he writes, conducts seminars, and maintains a private practice. He is the proud father of two adult children.

Workshop at 1:00pm - 3:30pm

Leonard draws upon his personal challenges and professional experience to map out a route of conscious living and steer you through the stages of spiritual awakening. In that process he shows you how to connect with the ever-present GPS, Guiding Power of Spirit, which illuminates the road to love and inner peace.

PRAISE FOR The Roadmap Home: Your GPS to Inner Peace:

“Read this book! It will lift your heart and give hope and help for all on the spiritual pathway. Leonard Szymczak shares a treasure trove of ideas to bring a loving, lasting peace to our hearts as we find our way home to wholeness.”

Author of The World Peace Diet and recipient of The Peace Abbey's distinguished Courage of Conscience Award, he has also taught over 20 different courses at the college level, including courses in mythology, philosophy, comparative religion, and creativity.

His Ph.D. dissertation in education from the University of California, Berkeley, focused on educating intuition in adults and was nominated for the Best Dissertation Award. A Dharma Master in the Zen tradition, he has done intensive training in Korea, and has practiced meditation for over 35 years, studying contemplative Christianity, and a variety of non-Western spiritual traditions.

Rev. Tuttle travels with his spouse and life partner, Madeleine, a Swiss visionary artist, providing seminars, concerts, lectures, TV & radio presentations, meditation retreats, exhibits, and individualized music and art portraits.

"Will has that rare ability to communicate effectively with his audiences from both the sense level and the realm of intuition."
-- Tom Witherspoon, Unity writer and minister

"Will is not only an entertainer and an educator, but a spiritual uplifter, as well. Participants found his music inspirational and his presentation gently challenging. I experienced him as a 'partner' in the Sunday service and would surely welcome him in my ministry at any time."
-- Rev. Claudell Hefner, Unity minister and teacher

Opening the Intuitive Gate - Monday, September 6, 2010 at 7:00-10:00pm

The Keys to Developing Your Intuition

Uplifting, philosophical, musical, and both challenging and reassuring, this is a workshop that can change lives, as we invite spirit to work its wonders on the ultimate frontier: the human heart.

Dr. Tuttle’s insights include:

• Discovering your unique ways of accessing your intuitive wisdom
• Effective inner & outer practices for developing joy and spiritual awareness
• Techniques using meditation, imagery, music, and art that inspire intuitive insights
• How to respond to the global “intuitive imperative” and meditate more effectively
• Ancient secrets for awakening the love, compassion, joy, and peace within.

This workshop is presented on a love offering basis.

Individual sessions for personalized Music and Art Portraits - Sunday/Monday, September 5/6, 2010 Indivual Afternoon appointments

These sessions can be for either individuals or couples.

In your session, Will meditatively tunes into your unique essence and translates this into uplifting original piano music. You will receive a private piano concert inspired by your spirit, and the music is recorded onto a 30-minute compact disc and a digital master tape.

Simultaneously, Madeleine creates a 9” x 12” watercolor painting also inspired by your essence, not a physical likeness but a unique artistic blend of evocative images.

Many people have found these sessions to be particularly helpful for increased self-understanding, healing, love, and in times of transition.

The suggested donation is $135.00 and includes the half-hour session of music, the CD of your music, and the painting, all using highest quality materials. If you’d like, Madeleine can mount and frame your painting as well.

Sessions take approximately 45 minutes.

Service 10:00am

Victoria's Victorious Bail-Out Plan

Our country, and even our world, is struggling right now under the misunderstanding that we’re in a crisis of insurmountable proportions. The news tells us that it’s bound to get worse. Politicians can’t help but compare what we’re experiencing now with the Great Depression. We need to know now more than ever: It’s all in how you frame the circumstances, and how much God you bring to bear on them.

In this presentation that I started working on in the late fall of 2008 when I was invited to address the people of Iceland after their country went bankrupt, I lay out a “bailout plan,” not one that’s national and political, but one that is personal and spiritual. Packed with lots of humor and touching stories, the lesson makes the following points:

• Live richly. It’s not about your net worth today versus a year ago today. It’s about finding delight in every day.
• Watch your words. We can talk ourselves into fear – and out of it. We need uplifting words in conversation and affirmation. My favorite affirmation for the present time is: “I am energetic, charismatic, and irrepressible.”
• Keep good company. We need positive people around us to remind us of the Truth.
• Keep tithing. God wants us to prosper at all times and in all circumstances, and He’s given us this dependable tool to make that happen.
• Look for the good – the God – in everything. The seed of magic and wonder and greater good is in everything, even situations we see as negative. This is a twist in the plot, not the end of the story. Look for God, and give Him a chance to bless you.

Workshop 1:00pm-3:00pm

Custom Crafting a Spiritual Life

Everybody knows that having spiritual life is a vital part of self-care, but conflicting ideas and beliefs can make it difficult to craft a spiritual life that works for you and grows with you. In this class, author Victoria Moran will help you establish an inner life that will enrich practical life.

In this two-and-a-half-hour workshop, participants will learn:

• The spiritual basics that show up in every culture and tradition
• How 10 minutes in the morning can change your life
• Ways to both nurture your body and support your spirit
• A technique to engage your soul as you walk around town
• The reason why spiritual people are so annoyingly happy and how you can be one of them
• The 10 Power Principles of the Spiritual Life:
1. Connect with your joy
2. Get silence every day
3. Keep a Sabbath
4. Cultivate compassion for yourself and others
5. Maintain your body as if it housed your spirit
6. Surround yourself with high-minded friends
7. Give generously and joyously
8. Read powerful books
9. Feel grateful and express gratitude
10. Always remember who you are
