Personal Growth


A very personal responsibility...

We've all heard the old saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink" many times.  We continue to use and share that statement because there is such truth in it.  All the resources, support, tools and materials can be given and made available to someone, but if that person doesn't truly, sincerely want to fully utilize them and actively embrace them and make them their own, well, they will not experience the benefits of those gifts.

Personal growth is work.  It takes effort, determination and sincerity.  To really achieve personal growth one must have some degree of stamina and inner strength, as well as faith.  It usually does not come to us very easily, but when it arrives we immediately recognize the power and new energy within us.  We begin to live our life in a different and improved way.  We begin on a new path and while on that path we discover new plateaus we wish to reach...new levels of growth we want to realize and experience...and so we continue the process yet again.

The Kiva Connection is for those sincere seekers of personal growth and healing.  It is far from a "spa experience" and it is not a "resort."  The Kiva Connection is like a keyring with various keys dangling from it, available for those willing to explore and try them out on their own, taking total responsibility for whatever the outcome of such actions.  The Kiva Connection is tailored most specifically for sole, individual, personal growth experiences more so than anything else.  It is a place and understanding of the "chop wood, carry water" philosophy and welcomes anyone ready to go on a lone retreat in the woods, camping rustically and packing in with only the barest of necessities as they honor and respect the land with its animal and plant life so shared.

It is a safe place, managed by safe people, and a place where you can be alone, still, and quiet.  It's a place where you can reconnect to your own inner knowing about the truth of who you are, and it's a place where no one will tell you what to believe, think or do with your life.  The Kiva Connection supports Love...unconditional Love.
