Event Type: Workshops
Live your values. Change the world. Choose MOGO!
Every day we are bombarded by doomsday scenarios, advertising that promotes endless consumption, a declining American economy, and growing environmental problems. But there is a philosophy and path that can create a better world and more joyful, healthy, and engaged lives. The MOGO (Most Good) principle is based on a very simple premise: when we do the most good and the least harm in our daily choices, acts of citizenship, community, work, and volunteerism, we create a life of inner peace while contributing to the building of a peaceful, sustainable world for all.
Our MOGO workshop offers participants:
- Dynamic activities that show you how to help people, animals, and the environment at the same time
- Interactive sessions to help you implement change
- a unique MOGO Action Plan to help you align your life with what matters to you most.
“The MOGO program is just what we need at this time in our history. It integrated today’s pressing issues into what an individual can do to create a safe and compassionate world.”
~ Clarence Widerburg, MOGO Workshop participant, Portland, Oregon, Feb. 7, 2009
MOGO is recommended for anyone who wishes to learn how to make their lives a manifestation of their greatest vision for the world. Read more about our MOGO workshops.
