SALON SMALL GROUP MENTORING PROGRAMS

If you have been looking for a personal mentoring program with Dr. Jean Houston, then perhaps our Small Group Mentoring Program will be the perfect way to begin. These small groups of no more than 12 students consist of two parts:

PART ONE: THE SALON. Each mentoring term begins with a two-day intensive, now in person as Jean welcomes you into her home. During these intensives, Jean, and often a guest teacher, present daily programs that offer advanced training and discussions on topics that integrate personal growth, spiritual deepening, the latest discoveries in psychology and brain-science, quantum physics, the wisdom and observations of Dr. Houston and her guest teacher, and the personal and social implications of the learning.

PART TWO: THE INTEGRATION. Dr. Houston has found during 50 plus years of authoring over 28 books, serving as an advisor in social change to communities and governments, functioning as an international consultant for the United Nations, and now a University Chancellor, that the greatest, longest lasting learning takes place when it is applied to life after one leaves the "classroom". For this reason, the second part of the mentoring takes place with a follow-up private mentoring session between Jean and each individual student via Zoom.

The 2024 Mentoring Programs explore the majestic quantum world within us and beyond us. Throughout the mentoring series, which may be taken as individual courses or as a year’s study program, Jean takes you on a bold exploration of soul food that feeds your body and spirit. She shares her unpublished work on how to access and use the vast encoding that you contain, challenges your beliefs about power and responsibility, explores the larger story of our times, and helps you to discover what the future is asking of you. It’s a glorious, inspiring year of training, and we hope you’ll be a part of it.

Electing Yourself

Powerful New Insights, Options and Opportunities

September 28-29, 2024
October 26-27, 2024

Electing Yourself, is the latest and final series of Master Mentoring Programs offered in Jean Houston’s home for 2024.

We often speak of the drama of the changing times, and there is no better example than the elections taking place around the world. The real election question, however, is how you elect to participate in these historical times.

Jean Houston has created a masterful program that initiates you into the multi-dimensions of creativity, vision and insight that exist within you. It is an initiation that prepares you to not only move forward with an exciting set of new creative skills, but allows you to see beyond the obvious and into the heart of the emerging story that’s now in play.

This is a mentoring program that offers not only critical new competencies and options, but one that helps you define your next steps. It has been described as “… inspiring, illuminating and ultimately practical.”

If you have been hearing a call to take your place in quiet or visible ways, this mentoring will help you achieve your goals with a new level of conscious and meaningful action.

Individual Mentoring

In addition to the group Salons, Jean Houston, Ph.D., offers three individual mentoring programs. These programs are designed for those who feel that they can be change agents and want to clarify their lives, their roles and create significant contributions to their families and the larger human community.

"Having Jean Houston as a mentor has been a deep blessing in my life and a dream come true. She has been my guidepost through many worlds, retrieving what in me wants to be an active participant in this world, while helping me to honor what is not quite ready to be seen. Her keen insight and persistence in valuing my gifts enables me to see them for myself. Jean is kind, funny and richness personified. I am blessed."
-- A.C., Malibu, CA

OVERVIEW

The Mentoring Program is a unique personal development opportunity. It is considered by those who have taken it to be one of the most profound and potent experiences of their lives; it provides an inclusive approach to your own personal and professional expansion.

This one-on-one process is a deep coaching partnership dedicated to helping you be all that you can be. Jean Houston is a unique mentor. Her wisdom encompasses years of counseling leaders from around the world and studying the cultures who have been involved in and accomplished significant shifts in their thinking and policies. For over half a century, she has interviewed some the finest thinkers of the world discovering their secrets for a meaningful living. It comes from a lifetime of studying the mind-body-spirit connectivity in humans, and the hidden capacities of the human potential. Her work not only references the latest discoveries of science, but integrates them with her extensive knowledge of ancient and modern philosophy creating keen observations on intention, possibilities, timing and action that benefits individuals and their communities.

This background results in a perspective that recognizes the gifts that each individual carries and helps to refine them, clarify visions and create a course of action that is consistent with his or her values and goals. All of this is accomplished within the context of giving you opportunities to be an active contributor to these, the greatest transition drama that humanity has ever had.

These mentoring programs therefore activate not only a deep realization of your personal potential, but also provide insights into significant shifts in relationships to others and guidelines for meaningful participation in family, community, professional interests and intentions. In essence, you become an active player in the emerging new story of these critical times.

Jean Houston is like a Fairy Godmother to me. Not the kind who grants wishes, but helps me empower myself. She reminds me how to access the deepest realms of my creativity; my life is transforming.

OUTCOMES

To date, those who have been in the year-long, in-depth Athena Program have experienced extraordinary and dramatic growth and realization of their projects and intentions. It is not surprising. Each person was born with particular capabilities. Experiences and family and cultural beliefs may create artificial boundaries that marginalize your potential. Jean Houston has spent decades creating breakthrough programs that empower individuals and communities to be and do more of what they were created for. She studied with leaders of social change, psychology and philosophy from the time she was a young woman. She initiated national and international programs like The Possible Society, and Social Artistry which are making dramatic shifts in individual and collective lives around the world.

"The Athena Mentoring Program with Jean gave me the tools to expand towards my highest potential and helped me understand the impact of unhealthy patriarchy in life and business practices. This is leading me to cultivate a deeper sense of empowerment as a woman in my personal and professional life."
