Nicholas Nebulai
Soon after leaving the nest and endeavoring into the collegiate landscape in 2003, I grew frustrated with the corporate manufacturers of culture and the rigidity of academia. I also felt stuck and restricted within the confines of my own belief system. Not yet knowing what direction I wanted to steer, I persisted with many pathways of self-discovery in and out of the classroom.
In 2007, I experienced a sudden awakening while meditating under the stars in the hills of the Ohio woodlands. I became aware of the inter-relatedness, flux and relativity of all beings as I communed with the universe. This new sense of personal empowerment and interconnectivity continues to inspire my research and artistic pursuits. Each day I am becoming more and more aware of the depth of my own creativity and learning how to more effectively use myself as an instrument of positive change.
These last five years I have spent working at a comprehensive community-based mental health and recovery agency working first hand with children, adults and families affected by severe mental illness, emotional distress or chemical dependency. This passion has fueled my further study into a graduate program for community counseling; where I am working to enter into the heart of the beast, the current medical paradigm, in order to find opportunities and pathways for holistic balance.
My workshops explore neurological techniques of meta-programming with the intention to inspire and support each person's potential to self-heal. My vision is to co-create holistic health centers in local communities that embrace a multi-disciplinary and integrative approach to therapy and healing. With the foundational values of inter-dependence, mutuality and reciprocity we can learn to come together as empowered beings in symbiotic unity with all life.
Workshop #1: Words Create Worlds: An Exploration Into The World Of Human Language And Effective Communication
This workshop will provide a methodology for studying the part language plays in human affairs. Participants will be encouraged to actively experiment with and investigate the two way process of how our language affects our thinking and/or actions, and how our thinking and/or actions affect our language. We will explore how each of us experiences and makes sense of our experiences, including how we use language and how language ‘uses’ us. The physical scientist seems to utilize words in such an accurate way that they are able construct reliable and sophisticated technologies and erect enormous skyscrapers. Perhaps the scientist’s use of words may provide a clue to help us evaluate our own language habits. Maybe we can learn to use language more efficiently and accurately in order to achieve understanding and agreement while effectively co-creating a positive present and future?
Workshop #2: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World
We each live in a social reality-tunnel that may be manufactured of elements that are thousands of years old. The very language we speak influences our perceptions and our sense of possibility. This will explore how brain software programs you and your world. Merging ideas of quantum mechanics, neuroscience and oriental philosophy we will investigate how perceptions and ideas get into our brains. By recognizing how we construct models and maps to make sense of the ocean of signals that we are barraged with every second, we can learn that consciousness is not a passive receptor but an active creator. We will re-discover the depth of our own creativity as we are all artists of perception
