The Workshop is about the book:
Whether you're a college graduate hitting the job market for the first time or a baby-boomer counting the days to retirement, there are three commonly asked questions that tie all of humanity together: "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" and "What difference will my life make?" Ironically, most of us jump on the treadmill of life and never stop to truly answer these critical meaning-of-life questions. Just think of all the people you know who live robotic lives without ever taking the time to ask, "What is life all about?" What if there was a simple road map you could follow to help discover your greater meaning and purpose in life? What if there was a way to dig deeper and grow deeper in life to uncover the real destiny you personally were meant to achieve?
Dance with the Elephant – Life's Cosmic Equation is a self-help, self-discovery, workshop in a book, designed to connect you with the universal principles and natural forces in the world that shape your perception of reality and who you think you are. The "elephant" in life is the emotional secret that everyone knows about but nobody wants to talk about. Unfortunately, these secrets that are never openly discussed continue to fester and rankle in the unconscious mind. Eventually they become roadblocks in our lives that limit the options we consider and the choices we make. Essentially, these secrets prevent us from reaching for and achieving our cosmic destiny.
Your journey through this book will guide you to ways of spirited dance with both the drama and trauma events of life. You will discover the true value both the yin and the yang have in fulfilling your life's destiny and your universal cosmic legacy. You will come to understand that in order to dance with the elephant you must dig deeper to find the “me” of life, and when you learn to grow deeper you can dance in harmony with the "we" of life. When the dance is in harmony the unified creative power evokes new life discoveries. But the true test lies in the fact that the music of life has both high and low frequencies of the conscious and subconscious; the challenge is to learn how to dance to all the cosmic vibrations of life.
This book includes a combination of breathtaking inspirational photos and insightful quotes from some of the worlds greatest minds and philosophers. The authors weave their personal stories into the framework of a simple equation for living a more fulfilling life called Life's Cosmic Equation.
Life's Cosmic Equation: Creative Power + Reflective Choice + Faith * Time = Life's Cosmic Legacy
The true resolve in this book resides in the power of the questions that are asked during the journey throughout this book. The answers to these questions will provide you a road map to your future. Every day you have the choice to be true to yourself and in concert with those you love and cherish. The world you live in is connected and there is joy to be discovered in your journey to grow and enhance your connectedness with others.

"Even though I have thought of the question (what if today was my last day on earth?) many times throughtout my life, making that list is helping hold me accountable to the things that are my heart desires. I definitely feel that this is a book to be used to continually reference back to, and that people who are ready to "Dance With The Elephant" will use this as a study guide to help them in their process. I loved all the illustrations you had! These are beneficial for those life myself who learn from the visual stimuli as well."
