In this course we will explore the idea that the key to understanding each other is to first understand ourselves. We will look beyond our conscious selves and look deeper at the things that truly control how we behave and think and feel. We have found this course very helpful in improving relationships between parent and child, husband and wife, and other people in our lives.
Men and women are both welcome to join in this journey of increasing self-awareness.
