"Supernormal capacities - next stage in human evolution?"
Humanity and the cosmos are united in common purpose, drawn by an ineffable pull, to bring forth the beauty and goodness embedded within. In this workshop we will explore the prospect that there are supernormal capacities within us, as yet undiscovered or undeveloped, and that these latent capacities express a natural evolutionary progression, that, if realized, could ultimately result in an evolutionary leap for humanity. By consciously aligning ourselves and engaging with this universal seeking through the cultivation of our latent capacities, we are fulfilling our evolutionary purpose. Even our most basic desires to be better parents or lovers, more competent in our professions, or even to make a better lasagna, contain the seeds of this self-surpassing, our deepest yearnings towards an extraordinary life.
“Like the human heart, the world points beyond itself to something greater and more beautiful than its present condition. That something attracts us all, in different ways, and leads many of us to seek transformation. Does it secretly inform the entire evolutionary adventure? Could it be that the human heart and the world’s heart are one in their self-surpassing? We believe that they are.”

Christina Grote is a long time practitioner and the board chair of Integral Transformative Practice (ITP) International. ITP is a long- term program for realizing the fullest potential of body, mind, heart and soul, and she loves to share it with others. She believes that we all have latent supernormal capacities that can be nurtured in a balanced and centered way through transformative practice, and that love is the at the heart of it all.
Christina grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, moving to Ohio in the mid 1970’s after a long stint of international travel. A life-long interest in natural healing, she became an a licensed massage therapist in 1988 and has continued to study many modalities, such as the therapeutic use of sound, color and movement with the Tama-do Academy, Bio-Acoustics and the Genesis Bio-Entrainment Module. She co-founded Good Medicine, a therapy and education center in Columbus, and taught massage theory and practice at what is now the American Institute of Alternative Medicine.
Music is important to her life and she currently plays the washboard and sings with Grassinine, a bluegrass/mountain rock band in Columbus. She enjoys sculpting with clay and concrete.
