Facilitators

Vincenzo Santiglia

I am a student of life and after all sorts of sweet and bitter lessons, I have now grown to wonder and appreciate its many gifts.

My quest for meaning and purpose became clear one day at school when I was eleven years old. The teacher asked all the pupils:  “What do you want to become when you grow up?” Many answered: ” A lawyer, doctor, nurse, fireman…”  I answered unexpectedly: “I want to live one day with my head and my heart saying the same thing”.

After many years of solitary search and fruitless speculation, I found my teacher when I was 25 years old.  A sensitive and wise European gentleman, a medical doctor and musician.  Jean Klein introduced me to ancient teachings from India: Yoga and Advaita Vedanta (the philosophy of Non-Duality) to a spirit of openness for all spiritual traditions and intelligent quests, and to the appreciation of beauty in all its expressions.

In its essence, he pointed out that life is an endless field of consciousness; wise, loving, beautifully overwhelming. The challenge for we human beings, is to  remain open to it. It is is so easy to lock ourselves into a box, a particular way of seeing, feeling and thinking. When we do this, we die to the great, all embracing Universal Meaning.

He introduced me to a way of listening, feeling, seeing and questioning, which for millennia has helped individual seekers to surrender to all life.

In my case, this has helped me to move through many walls, bridge gaps and face numerous, painful cracks. In this spirit of openness, I have rescued myself out of endless prisons. The freedom I have grown to experience, together with a natural desire to share, has brought me to listen to, feel and see people’s pains and quests.

I see no difference from mine.

Moved by mind and heart united, I have synthesized my learning into an accessible process, The Now Technique.

It teaches us to weave body, heart and mind into an harmonious whole. This harmony is the mother of all meanings, of compassion, of conscious, creative, restorative action and of the universal human being which is now coming to life.  To know, love and be who we are.

Jose Ricardo Fuentes

 

I have dedicated my life to the embodiment of transformation, personal growth and spiritual development. Born in Colombia, my education included Engineering and computer science. I worked for 10 years in Human Relations and Organizational Development and 20 years in operations and IT management.  At 28, I pursued spiritual development and lived in an ashram (spiritual community) for eight years, practicing meditation and community service.

I have consistently studied and practiced meditation, personal development and consciousness. I obtained certifications in hypnosis, Auto Observación Neutro Consciente – AONC, (neutral awareness self observation), Conscious Language of Mastery and Outcome Facilitation. And studied and read extensively on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Coaching and Integral Theory.

In 2004, I had a revelatory experience when I was able to help a family in Miami with a very problematic situation concerning their daughter.  Through this experience, it became clear that it was “through me” and not “because of me” that results were achieved.  This personal experience of being used as a vehicle of Grace and Love was the catalyst I needed to ignite the flame of service within again.

Life has given me maturity, experience and tools to be of service. Life took me from Miami to Sedona where I pursued a full-time career as a counselor and consciousness instructor, and recently, I have returned to Columbia.

I am delighted to be working with Vincenzo and my colleagues in The NOW Technique, as it represents a perfect synthesis of all my studies and wisdom, and it has helped me to embody the teaching more fully, and to gracefully flow with some very unexpected changes in my own life.  For that I am profoundly grateful.

Suzanne Mark

 

Along my journey, I learned many healing modalities. a few which I instructed internationally for many years. I could see that all of these were a piece of the puzzle, but when I devoted myself to only one mode of processing, eventually these modalities and ways of processing became limiting and painful, and I had to let them go and embrace an integrative approach.  Nature works as a whole, so I needed to work with all modes of sensing in order to experience the underlying wholeness.

As a “human doing” on the winding path to awakening, I took the “long way around” until I gradually realized that any spiritual “efforting” (even in the clever guise of a self-development method)  can keep us from recognizing our oneness with Source. I now see that suffering is not necessary for evolution and present moment peace, although it can arise and be attended to.   The Now Technique brings the puzzle pieces together beautifully and helps balance the aspects that we have over-emphasized or left unattended.

My calling is as a facilitator of deep, dynamic personal change–assisting myself and others to find the peaceful, strong core that resides within.   Together, we recognize that we are already the freedom that we seek, so the focus will be on gently UNCOVERING that through direct experience, not by piling on more concepts, fixes or modalities.

I use gifts of humor, empathy and compassion to guide you in The Now Technique, help you rest in the NOW, and experience yourself as the Master. You can live a beautiful life with effortlessness!

I am very thankful to be working with my colleagues and clients at The Now Technique, as it gives us direct experience of Pure Being, and facilitates freedom quickly, with no hanging on the the modality.  I deeply cherish the Now Technique because it is such a simple, direct instrument for change and fundamental shift.

Daniel Sternberg, Ph.D.

My 30+ year career as a clinical psychologist has encompassed realms of teaching, consultation with businesses and community agencies, program development and evaluation, and facilitation of groups and workshops both locally and internationally.   I have had extensive experience in the areas of performance enhancement, trauma, employer-employee relationships, stress management training, pain management, crisis resolution, PTSD and psychological assessment.

I have facilitated workshops on communication skills, The Sedona Method, Holotropic Breathwork©, EMDR, biofeedback, anxiety reduction, stress management, and pain control.

As a therapist and facilitator, I work with executives, teams and individuals willing to expand their awareness beyond the everyday stresses and conflicts that limit creativity and productivity.  I have taught thousands of people how to relax, reduce their stress, and release the emotions that prevent them from realizing and putting into action their true potential. I have also produced two CDs: Fearless Flying and Relaxation for Those In a Hurry. I also work in the area of sports performance.

The thing that has most interested me throughout my journey is deep inner freedom or awakening, and how to attain it.  I, too, have gone through many modalities and experiences, and I realize that it is all here in the PRESENT MOMENT.  The Now Technique is profound, powerful, elegant and eloquent, precisely because it points us to the here and now and not out to some future goal or attainment that is never achievable.
