Welcome to Continuing Education! Encouraging Your Bravery Since 1970 What challenges do you seek? Is it a hands-on experience where you push your creative skills beyond your comfort zone? How about conditioning yourself to push the limits of your strength and stamina? Perhaps it is leveling up your professional skills to make you a stronger presence in the workplace. Maybe it is learning to see the world from a different perspective and new ways to problem solve. This spring, let Continuing Education offer you the support you need to face those challenges and many, many more.

In Something Has to Change! (page 20) Mariko Navin demonstrated how she really knows the material. She is full of examples and has done the research to provide the class with confidence. She is also willing to do a lot of extra work to help the students who are working towards their goals. I like the idea of working on goals in a small class setting. I’ve taken Finding the Work You Love, Finding the Life You Love (page 21), and will be taking the Neuroplasticity and the Eight Senses of Awareness (page 22) next, as well as a meditation course. They all seem to complement each other well. I’m very appreciative that North Seattle College is offering these types of classes.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in life? Do you wish you could change? Do you ask yourself, “Why is it so hard to make the changes I want to make?” You have tried, but determination and willpower don’t seem to work.
