WELCOME TO MYOB

M.Y.O.B  – “Mind Your Own Becoming” is a sacred call for all of us to rise together. 

We place a new perspective on the term “M.Y.O.B.” – with the word “Becoming” – which denotes that we are all in the process of evolving consciousness together. When our “soul” focus is upon our personal growth to make a difference in this world – beautiful things occur.  We want to share some vital Key Principles that are important to absorb as essential to that “Becoming” the more of you that you are meant to be.

Vision

We see a world where every individual without exception is healed and whole and is valued and welcomed for their unique expression, qualities, and talents.

Mission

MYOB is a community creating safe spaces to open minds and hearts to inspire personal and inter-relational healing and change through open dialog and courageous conversations.

Mind Your Own Becoming is about soul growth – and that only occurs when we have had enough of what we see around us.  The greatest changes historically have been when as a society we can no longer process the pain and inequities we see.  When we are open to confront, no matter how uncomfortable,  our own inherent racism and entitlements based on a sense of “superiority,” gender, or ethnic prejudices, and be accountable for the thoughts we carry – healing  and new understanding can emerge.   We can authentically begin to bring about a world vision of love and regard for everyone, without exception.   And this is a multi-generational call to action. We will be honored for you to join us in this quest.


PURPOSE

The purpose of this organization shall be to offer educational classes, socially relevant workshops, and programs for personal well-being:  emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.  To be consciously aware of how we can impact healing;  past, present, and future for the evolution of humanity.

June will be our closing month for Mind Your Own Becoming.

Watch the special video below and look at the current Blog that reflects my personal journey the past months. Despite our extensive media efforts, we have not seen an increase in attendees or donors, which is vital to continue with integrity. The MYOB Board and I are choosing to celebrate 4 ½ years of enriching and inspiring programming and the last session will be June 26th.

I am thrilled our closing theme is – Authenticity – Identity and Who Am I? Mind Your Own Becoming has been about that soulful inquiry whereby we are contributing our highest and best to the evolution of all humanity through our words, deeds, and actions. I am excited about what our Presenter Rev Christine Renée Monks (pronouns: she, her, hers) will be bringing to you in our shared dialog.

 Rev. Christine Renée Monks is a licensed minister with Centers for Spiritual Living, certified life coach, transgender activist, and public speaker. She holds a Master of Arts in Consciousness Studies and a Certificate of Ministerial Education. Since her transition from male to female in 2017, she has found her voice in ministry, choral singing, and trans advocacy. She speaks frequently on Trans topics to groups interested in understanding the transgender journey more fully. She is a grandmother, father, pilot, and FAA certificated flight instructor.

Her life’s noble purpose is to share her gender dysphoria journey with the world in an authentic and vulnerable manner to foster greater empathy and acceptance between the cisgender and transgender communities.  I am profoundly honored to have Rev. Christine Renee Monks as our closing Presenter.

For three consecutive weeks in June during Pride month, Rev. Christine and Rev. Charles will explore authenticity, identity, and discovering our true selves.

On June 5th, we will focus on authenticity. What is it, and why is it important? Do authenticity and vulnerability walk hand-in-hand? Can I be authentic without being vulnerable and showing the world my flaws and imperfections? What might I gain if I fully embrace this spiritual practice?

On June 12th, we explore aspects of identity. Each of us embodies multiple facets of identity; some of these confer unearned advantages while others come with unearned disadvantages. Unearned advantages are often called privilege.

We will bring it together on June 19th with our exploration of “Who Am I?” Are we the roles we play or the possessions we’ve acquired? Or is there some intrinsic worth about us that transcends anything valued by our egoic self?

Each week will begin with an open-heart-centered discussion between Rev. Christine and Rev. Charles. After the discussion, there will be time allocated for audience questions.

June 26 – Charles will close with Gratitude to our MYOB Board, Past Presenters and all that made this experience a journey of soul enrichment.
