MPC - Welcome

Welcome to "Mastering Personal Creativity: An on-line course for learning to create experiences you really want to have."

This is a unique, learner-centered MindAffects™ on-line course that will allow you to thoroughly learn the principles of creating desired future experiences at your own pace and time. You will get individualized helped every step of the way by direct responses from Joanne Rodasta Wilshin and through e-list exchanges.

The course examines recent mind-matter and mind-body research, as well as the relationship between what you personally believe and what you experience, both in the past and in the future. The course, which is based on Joanne Rodasta Wilshin's Take a Moment and Create Your Life!, will teach you:
- how your experiences are created
- why you sometimes fail to create what you want
- and how to use the MindAffects™ process to ensure more and more successful and conscious creations.

The ultimate requirement of the course is that you use MindAffects™ to turn around, or begin to turn around, at least three major obstacles or issues in your life. You will have plenty of on-going support from Joanne Rodasta Wilshin in doing this! (See course goals.)

During the course you will use the following Mastering Personal Creativity technologies:
- Mastering Personal Creativity E-list
- personal communications from Joanne Rodasta Wilshin via e-mail
- World Wide Web resources
- the Spiritsmith Internet site (back to top)

The Mastering Personal Creativity on-line course is for people who consider themselves consciously aware. Our users are people who, to some extent, understand the mind-matter and body-mind-spirit connection. The course is also for people who really WANT to bring positive changes into their lives and the lives of those in their circle. They are willing and open to receive support and guidance from Joanne Wilshin in doing this, and they are willing to give it their focus and effort.

The course is designed to take from three to four weeks to complete because we provide parallel learning and practice, which best supports good creating. If you need to take longer than this, please discuss it with Joanne Wilshin; learning becomes diluted if the learning process becomes too spread out. We have a no-refund policy with this course.

This is an individual-oriented, rather than a class-oriented course. Participants, are, therefore, not required to keep up or wait for other students taking the course. Students will all have access to the e-list during and after taking the course.

Mastering Personal Creativity has basic personal, technological and material requirements. back to top)

Course Goals

The following eight goals are designed to ensure the learner understands and uses the subtleties of creating positive experiences. The goals can all be met using MindAffects™; no goal is impossible. While it may seem like a lot of experiences to create, in reality, the creations will simplify your life in many ways. (A favorite slogan of Joanne's is: Thinking the right thoughts takes the work out of life.)

Imagine your life with these goals met. Imagine the changes coming into your life in the coming month!

Student Center

Our Student Center is our Mastering Personal Creativity e-list. It is very desirable for you to "talk" with people who are in the process of learning and who have already mastered MindAffects™. Your questions and observations are important, as are those of others. And others can support your learning, as you can support theirs. We know learning MindAffects is difficult to do in a vacuum, and we know that learning increases markedly when you have other like-minded individuals with whom you can share your successes, questions, and obstacles. back to top)

Joanne Wilshin also partakes in the bulletin board and e-list, so you'll get added support from her. She participates in the group, but does not monitor your entries before they are submitted.

You may register for Mastering Personal Creativity through PayPal, or by mailing or faxing your enrollment form to the Spiritsmith Company. If you have questions about registering, please contact Joanne Wilshin.
