SOME COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is their any  religious or spiritual affiliation to Born on the Mountaintop?

Absolutely not. Our courses are taught in a unique and non-traditional manner that appeals to people of all faiths and backgrounds. We do not preach ideals. Instead we encourage free thought and open discussion. Born on the Mountaintop invites you to take an inner journey and uncover your own realizations.

How is this course different from motivational courses I have attended?

First of all, Born on the Mountaintop is not a motivational course. Though we teach principles that can be applied to achieve any success you desire, our main focus is on expanding your awareness of how your personal freedom is inhibited by the 13 Life Addictions, and opening the door to a perspective that will help you break free from these inhibitions. The tools you then acquire will  empower you to move towards new possibilities and living life according to your own terms.

It says that Born on the Mountaintop is about  personal freedom. What do you mean by "personal freedom"?

Personal freedom is about choice - the ability to choose your life direction unencumbered by rules imposed on you from your upbringing, the media, your culture and, most of all, yourself. Many of these forces are so subtle that few people can distinguish between what they want from life and what they have been conditioned to want. At the same time, as long as The Greatest Lie and Addictions rule our lives, our  potential on a personal and professional level will be greatly inhibited.

How  does Born on the Mountaintop help people realize personal freedom?

The first step of the weekend experience entails becoming aware of the ways in which the Greatest Lie and the 13 Life Addictions may be limiting your experience of love and freedom. Since each of us has been conditioned in different ways, the workshop has been designed in a way to allow you to explore your own mind to uncover how specifically each of these may be inhibiting your self-worth and personal freedom. 

Once you have a thorough understanding of how Life Addictions and The Greatest Lie affect you, you then become aware of a completely different approach – an approach that challenges and helps you break free from these patterns. This is a very exciting process because you don’t know what you or anyone will find here. Everyone will have a different idea of what freedom means to them when they explore the possibilities of living without these forces in their life. That is why the exercises within this stage allow each participant to explore this sacred place within themselves. 

We then provide a variety of practical tools and insights that allow you to gradually reclaim your freedom in every day life.  Each participant receives a workbook and is given ample time to reflect on themselves and explore new possibilities in their lives. This workbook helps you to integrate and apply the tools to your life even after the course is finished. In addition, every participant has the option of follow-up sessions and is invited to our monthly community sessions where past participants meet to discuss a variety of topics and share experiences.

Is the program only for adults?

A certain amount of awareness is crucial to take full advantage of the workshop and so currently the program appeals to adults, college or high school students.  In due time, we will create a course that caters to even younger children.  Born on the Mountaintop is definitely an essential course for parenting because it helps identify how we reinforce Life Addictions in our children and adversely affect their self-esteem.
