EARLY BIRD SPECIAL FOR AUSTIN FOUNDATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL FRIDAY MARCH 19, 2010!
This is our most popular seminar and the one that synthesizes the Hendricks' 30+ years of teaching in just three days. You'll gain skill in meeting life moment-to-moment and making choices that increase your vitality and connection with others. Foundation is a prerequisite course for our other Trainings. You’ll leave with a complete manual of activities and ways to continue your learning at home.
In Foundation you’ll learn how to:
• Stop blaming and use your liberated energy to design the life you want
• Get unstuck quickly and in over a dozen friendly ways
• Expand your ability to give and receive more love and positive energy
• Know what you really feel and want so you can make clear choices and powerful decisions about your life
• De-stress and awaken a tangible experience of well being
• Open a flow of love and harmony with others
• Embrace change with ease
One of the unique aspects of our training events is the presence and participation of advanced students from our Leadership and Transformation Training. Our facilitators assist with the program by exploring issues with participants upon request and supporting a deeper experience of whole-body, whole-brain learning in the group.
This course meets the qualifications for 18 hours of continuing education credit for MFCCs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.
People sometimes ask us how the Conscious Living and Loving Foundation Seminar can be really useful when it's so much fun. Our experience has convinced us that learning only happens when people are in a relaxed and open state. Now science is catching up with our experiential research. This brief article outlines a few of the scientific studies that support the wide range of learning activities we developed and the unique whole-body, whole-brain approach we take throughout Foundation.

What People Are Saying
I came away from my first Foundation course with an unbelievable, yet very do-able sense of possibility for enjoying my life in a whole (emphasis on WHOLE) new way. Hearing Katie, i felt like I was being reminded of ancient wisdom and remembering myself for the first time. All the body centered activities stirred up my system in such a way that I moved through old patterns in minutes, rather than years in therapy. Three days went by like the snap of a finger!
Audrey Hazekamp
Aliveness Coach
Foundation Training was a full body experience beyond any words or theories I could wrap my brain around. Believe me....I tried. I felt alive with lots of energy. It reminds me of learning to ride a bicycle. I was scared and it was unknown territory. I knew this would take me places quickly and I would always remember "how to do it". I was constantly surprised.
Grayson Lee
Coach/Facilitator
The Foundation provided me with tools I now use everyday to shift from blame and criticism into a new life of genuine love and appreciation for myself and others.
Mari Nichols
The Foundation experience was an invitation for me to reconsider creativity as a way of living from conscious choices, in contrast to the many years of emphasis I've placed on achieving goals and trying hard. My experience was that my ability to play had gotten quite rusty and that I'd invested more than I'd realized in looking good over feeling good. I choose feeling good (which actually makes the looking part effortless!)
Teri Jo Summer
Wearable Art/Creativity Consultations
I learned how to rapidly shift from blame and criticism into love and creativity. I came to the training because I was at a make-it-or-break-it place in my relationship. In that one weekend I learned how to make it, and make it amazing -- seven years later we are married with children and love each other more and more all the time.

What an easy way to learn!! This training has assisted me in living on a whole new conscious level, which I enjoy so much more.
Crystal Miller

Both Katie and Gay's presence is powerful, grounded, centered and extremely clear.
Karen Drucker
Psychologist
At the recent trainings I attended, I gained a deeper awareness as to the underlying patterns that drive my negative and reactive behavior patterns. I have a much greater ability to observe and release them, responding much more authentically and appropriately to the situations at hand.
Tom Boyer

The whole-body learning process was a unique and powerful way to stretch and grow my boundaries. I really enjoyed myself.
Janet Slemko, Calgary, Alberta
I learned about being in tune with my body and what different body sensations meant for me.

Simply put, your work creates real practical growth in a gentle easy way remembering how fun it is to play.

Practical tools for living more consciously and robustly all of the time.
Bob Costello

Katie supports truth and authenticity in everyone as she models this for us.
Liz Costello
Coach
I am noticing that I am less and less defeated when I find myself feeling separate and disconnected from myself and others. Instead I find I am more often in wonder about the learning and the growth opportunity and curious about what else is here for me to heal and release. I find myself engaged in the process of discovery, rather than in despair that my 'shift has not yet come'. I experience myself genuinely loving myself learning and growing, a work in progress. Big quality of life improvement.
Leslie Karen Sann, MA, LCPC
The most comfortable program for personal transformation I have experienced.
Richard Corbett, Founder

Critical tools and invaluable information. It's a relief to know that I can have fun while growing and learning in my relationship with my husband-
Jill Thompson
Coach/Facilitator
I found a gift within my first Foundation which is more continuous than the energizer bunny: myself and opening of a portal and possibility of living my life in laughter and joy.
Cynthia Jackson
Educator/ Storyteller
I experienced Foundation as a balm for my soul that I can keep dipping into as long as I am willing to be open, curious and shift my perspective. I love how easy and playful change can be!
Jody Kaylor
Facilitating Life Coach
In Foundation I learned, in the most delightful way possible, the power of whole-body learning to transform me and integrate what I really want into my life.
Michael Deloughery
Business Coach
Taking the foundation workshop was like coming home - coming home to myself. It provided me with the tools to allowing myself to be me, an opportunity to embrace all of myself, my feelings and authentically share my essence with the world. It's been over a year now since my first Foundation workshop and I still marvel at the fun, laughter and ease with which I experienced deep healing in 3 short days.
Daniela Koenig
Dating and Relationship Coach
I came away feeling the same feeling I usually have after spending a few weeks in an ashram.. ( and it was so much more fun than that!) full of calm silence and yet powerful creative energy, clear vision and tools to help me create what I really want in life.. which what i started to do from that moment on..
Vandana Verma
The Foundation course gave me the felt sense of loving myself. Prior, it seems I was experiencing the IDEA of loving myself, rather than actually DOING it. A year later, this whole-body practice of loving myself has completely transformed the inner and outer circumstances of my life. I "show up" for myself and others in ways unavailable to me before. I now enjoy a new relationship with a sweet, conscious and loving man; delicious homeownership (previously elusive), more enlivening friendships and I have WAY more fun with my creativity. What surprised me most about all of this was how easy and playful the Hendricks toolbox is.
Claire O'Connor
My most vivid reaction to my first Foundation was a sense of huge possibility--possibility for changing old, no longer needed patterns, the possibility of living in a ever expanding state, the possibility to live constantly in joy, fun, and creativity.
Kat Carsey
FREEDOM ... Foundation created freedom for me to live, love and laugh from my depths to as far as I dare to go ....
Gayle Colman
CFP and Wealth Counselor
At Foundations, I learned playful, fun, amazing ways to MUCH more fully embody the personal growth I have been studying for years. I experienced a kind of 'coming together' inside me. Being at Foundations stimulated major breakthroughs in my life and relationships. And I experienced connection with people there, whom I love, and am still loving to play with -- Joy!
Rhonda Mills
Bodymind Vibrance Coach
The Foundation assisted me in developing skills that have been useful in my day to day living to create more joy in my life. I have been able to recognize ways I Iimit myself and then from that awareness make choices that provide more freedom. Also, I have used the skills I learned in Foundation to move from feeling helpless and blaming others to taking responsibility for my life and creating action steps that assist me in creating loving relationships.
