WHY DO I NEED THESE?
Mental Soundness
Mental soundness is crucial for the ability to distinguish between illusions and facts, and to unveil deceptions from truths, thus enabling us to fully realize our purpose in life. These errors in recognition and perception often stem from specific risk factors present in our childhood environments, shaping the way we view the world and interact with reality. By addressing these early influences and promoting mental well-being, we can enhance our clarity of thought and embrace a more authentic understanding of our existence.
Emotional Balance
A balanced approach is key to uncovering the nuanced emotions that drive our actions, allowing us to make insightful decisions with careful consideration. By tempering impulsiveness and employing emotions wisely, we can navigate through situations with thoughtfulness and react in a manner that is both mindful and strategic. This self-awareness enables us to harness our emotions effectively, leading to more deliberate and well-judged responses in various scenarios.
Social Health
Social health is being able to risk vulnerability in the most rewarding of human activities while keeping the strength to overcome rejection. This makes lasting relationships survive the storms of life.
Physical wellness keeps us in the fullness of life with its rewards. We have joy! The satisfaction of a life well lived survives even in our old age when faculties may fade.
Spiritual Health
We are spirit as well as soul, mind and body covered above. Spirit has two, yes three facets if one is born again. All humans and other animals have the first one. This enables us to freely move about and act on the earth. The second gives me the ability to discern from creation God's existence, His attributes, and the motivations of my heart.
From this spirit we can give honor and thanks to our creator. We can then experience eternal spiritual life. The born-again spirit makes Jesus Christ our covenant Brother and that gives us a family relationship to our Heavenly Father with His inheritance of all.
The living is congregate for developing social and teamwork skills, and it provides for mutual accountability. There are private areas for personal care, meditation, study, and sleep. Our staff is present 24/7 to ensure our students are supported at any hour and cover overnight mentoring, oversight, teaching, and guidance as scheduled and as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We do this by helping you discover your purpose in life. Your purpose is through holding the world view that gives purpose to every human being, everything in the world and every event is interconnected and has a purpose. The most wondrous purpose is developing deep and lasting connections (aka relationships) with other people. Learning how to do this starts on your first day. Everyone is given gifts to practice in life. These are discovered through work skills and practices done on the campus. The ones that seem to flow easily point to your purpose. Thus, they point to who you are. Your purpose becomes the glue that holds connections together with deep rewards following.
This is called Commitment Phobia or Relationship Anxiety. Love, particularly young love, is the most wondrous and euphoric experience in life. Too often it becomes the most hurtful of all experiences. Some never overcome the loss and have anxiety over any relationship. This paradox does not have to be. The problem is not the euphoria. The problem is that the first euphoric experience is so unique one whispers, I want that tomorrow too, to be able to “live happily ever after.” The truth standing against this whisper is that love is present tense not to “live happily ever after.” One or the other will die, suffer a loss or have circumstantial change first. Love exists from moment to moment by choice for affection and care that would allow each to pursue their purpose while remaining in the relationship. This is Liberty! After each moment being thankful for the experience that so animated and enriched that relationship. Then, being open to love again in the next moment or day. This is vulnerability. This understanding is learned by practice and guidance within our congregate campus. All of this works together in transforming hurts into opportunities for love in ways nothing else can!
