The Big Weekend...

Who are Seymour Segnit and Aaron Huey?

Aaron Huey and Seymour Segnit are friends of mine...

They are both transformational trainers and very good at what they do.

Below is a short video - less than two minutes. The guy doing the intro is Seymour and Aaron is the guy sitting on the wooden chair with the water in the background.

If you listen to Aaron in this video, you will hear something that is unmistakable:

He is authentic to the bone.

He is not putting on a show for the camera, I know Aaron. He is a Warrior - not just in the metaphoric sense, he is a real warrior. He is compassionate and he cares.

This is how Aaron is in real life and why what he does makes a difference.

Check out the video...

Both of these guys are the real deal.

I worked with Aaron on staff in 2006 at the Enlightened Warrior Training Camps in Beaumont California and I liked the work he did. He was a facilitator for one of the most challenging break-through processes. He was tough, but kind. He was effective but gentle. He was focused, yet compassionate. I learned to trust Aaron and I liked him immediately.

Aaron is tight with one of my best friends - Shane - who has worked with Aaron even more frequently than I have. Through their relationship, I have gotten to know Aaron better - vicariously - through the eyes and words of my close friend. One of the things I really admire about Aaron is the work he has done to help adolescent kids over the last few years in many of his camps.

Aaron is a man of his word. You can believe what he says. And if he says the stuff he is working on for the Big Weekend with Seymour is going deep within him and creating a lot of change, it is.

Seymour Segnit is a multi-talented trainer.

I met him originally in 2005 when we were on staff for Peak Potentials traveling around the country on the seminar logistics team. He was a trainer before I met him and I watched him continue to develop his skill until he became one of the best people on the team.

Seymour is a good man, a good husband and and good father. He is the kind of man who walks his talk and lives the values that inspire people to find the best in themselves. In the beginning, he and I banged heads a few times while we were all doing a lot personal growth and some very deep work.

The cool thing about that is that it is exactly how you really get to know who someone is. Conflict often creates depth in a relationship. Over eighteen intense months of sixteen to eighteen hour days traveling city to city - working together on high intensity self development seminars - we became pretty good friends.

More importantly, we grew to respect each other as we did the kind of soul wrenching work that people do when they are committed to personal growth. It is the kind of work where you don't hide - where you can't hide - who you are deep down inside if you really want results. It is like getting naked with yourself and not turning away ever again.

These two guys have done it all. They really have. I would say they have been relentless in their pursuit of excellence. They had the best mentors and teachers on the planet today. They know what you want, and better than that, they know what you need and how to get you there. They KNOW you have the stuff - the courage to do things you haven't even thought of yet, but wish you had.

Fortunately, Seymour and Aaron have thought of it. They know what you hope they know and that is exactly what THE BIG WEEKEND is ALL about.

Take it from me that if you are ready to make changes and create a better life for yourself, working with these guys is the best place to start. You have my word on it.

THE BIG WEEKEND is calling your name. You don't have to answer the call but you may wish you had.

I AM Blessings and Love,

Qigong and Tibetan Yoga in Sarasota

Qigong and Tibetan Yoga in Sarasota...

We've been here in Sarasota - not quite two months - and what a place this is. We have been blessed with personal and spiritual healing & abundant opportunities to grow, to learn and to meet amazing people.

Sarasota is a beautiful place and we love the beach here. It's pretty hot and humid but it's amazing how fast we have adapted. Although it has been less than 8 weeks, it often feels like we have been here for a long time - a long time in a different sense. It's the type of long time that goes really fast because you are enjoying what is happening so much - like kids and summer time. I remember how it always felt like summers went really fast and every time I turned around school had started again. The funny part about that is that we felt from the moment we got here that we belong in this place and always have.

Upon our arrival, we have stepped fully into the space of manifesting magnificent health and into becoming facilitators to help other people do the same thing.

With over 30 years of study and practice in the natural health arena, this is not a new topic.

We have created a class we call rejuvenation energy alignment which is hybrid of two styles of qigong combined with Tibetan rejuvenation yoga. Integrated into each session is a guided meditation. The net result is a alignment, strength, balance, concentrated internal energy and vitality.

We are starting a class in downtown Sarasota, at:

Transendance Chiropractic (across the street from Whole Foods)
1487 2nd St - Suite B
Sarasota, FL
Mon @ 5 and 7:00 p.m. alternating weeks
Tues @ 7:00 p.m.
Thur @ 7:00 p.m.
Class lasts about 90 minutes...
