| MISSION STATEMENT Susan D. Kalior Through travel, study, and work, I've gained a rich awareness of cultural differences among people and their psychosocial struggles. I have discovered that oppression often results from the unexamined adoption of outside perceptions. The healing always has been in the individual's stamina to expel outside perceptions of self and constructively exert one's unique core being into the world. I am driven to facilitate expanded awareness that people may separate who they are from who they are told to be. The way out of the labyrinth is to cease the linear walk from today to tomorrow, and move out of the spaces that imprison us and into the rich wonderland of our individuality. Humanity cannot thrive if we do not begin the heroic journey into self. There, we can replenish, grow wings, and fly into the overview where every twist and turn of the labyrinth can be seen. I sincerely believe that from there, we can attain true freedom, touch unconditional love, and make wise contributions to this world. |
