What some past participants said about previous Growth and Wellness seminars facilitated by Earnest:

• Impressed by his gentle style, authenticity, openness, transparency. His personal stories gave credibility to what he communicated, with such spirit, humanity and conviction.
• The experience was life transforming!
  
• It has given me a road map to work on my own issues. Earnest's honest sharing of his personal stories was so inspiring and gave me much hope. Didn’t realise how my childhood impacted me so much. With the tools given, I can free myself from that which chokes me from growing.
• Understanding my family roots led to the discovery of my inner self. This enabled me to name the paralysis that prevents me from growing.
• The workshop opened my eyes to many deep issues within me and provided tools to help me. Helped me to understand myself better in a non-threatening and hopeful manner.
• It came at the right time in my life, allowing me to understand myself, my emotions and responses better. I came away believing that psychological development and enhancement is key to spiritual growth.
• The whole workshop... helped me understand that I was sabotaging my own life because of what I held onto.
• Learnt the tools for identifying and addressing my emotions, processing self and inner wellness... learning to be more reflective.

II. COMPASSION FATIGUE (A Workshop for Caregivers)

About the Programme
The very nature of a caregiver's involvement can be demanding. As such, they are the primary candidates for compassion fatigue. This is a result of caring over time, sometimes without support or respite, and can lead to severe exhaustion and even spiritual vacuum.
This program will help you assess and become aware of compassion fatigue. This is in order for us to anticipate it before its effects hit us. It also explores the factors that often lead to compassion fatigue, whether it is coming from personal or organizational factors. It will teach a way to name the stresses that are experienced. It will also discuss some of the common issues related to caring.
