The Momentus Discovery Seminar

The Momentus Discovery Seminar is a three day seminar designed to produce insight on how to love and live more effectively. Originally developed by Daniel (Dan) Tocchini, the founder of the Association for Christian Character Development (ACCD).

Discovery is a response to the cry for a radical change.

We live in a time of unprecedented expansion of knowledge. The depth and breadth, as well as the rapid access and retrieval, of human knowledge would stun our forebears. We are all permanently embedded in this flow of information, yet we are still left with Jesus' question, "For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself?"

The Information Age is at the same time the Isolation Age. We are more isolated and out-of-sync than ever before. We have in many ways lost ourselves and each other. Many people sense a powerlessness over their lives, their relationships, themselves. Many complain of not being worthy and lacking significance. Many feel disconnected from themselves and others - even those closest to them. Often, as a result of our disconnection, isolation, and powerlessness, we turn to various diversions to anesthetize the discomforts of life. The ways we numb out are legion: materialism, workaholism, addictions, TV, video games; the list is as endless as people are unique.

Whether there is a direct connection between the expansion of knowledge and the increasing human disconnection is a topic for others. The essential question, the burning question is what can we do to become reconnected with what's important, how can we relate to others in life the way we know it could be?

Even among Christians, similar trends toward disconnection and isolation are apparent. We are filled with more biblical knowledge than we are living day-to-day. Like the rich man who came to Jesus seeking eternal life in Matthew 19, we know the answers to the questions of faith, but struggle to answer with our whole lives. How can what we know become what we live?

This discrepancy between knowledge and what is lived calls for a transformational breakthrough - more knowledge is not the answer, we've all tried that many times. We need to transform the very way we relate to God, others, and ourselves. We must take a radical leap to a new competency in relationship, rather than just an incremental step from the way we related in the past.

Discovery is an invitation to journey beyond your current limitations of what is possible for you - past the restraints your existing assumptions place on your relationships. This journey will bring you to the place where you will be able to break through these assumptions and impact your relationships in ways you know God desires for you.

Through the Momentus Discovery Seminar, you will gain actual experience and practice. With the insights and actions required to develop the relationship God has ordained for you to order chaos and release beauty in your life and those around you. With these experiences, practices, and insights you will discover a sense of vision and destiny, which God has gifted in you. You will experience the confidence of being divinely called to a deeper quality of living and loving.

In the Momentus Discovery Seminar, you will get at the root of your self-perceptions and your strategies for loving, living, relating, and achieving intimacy with God and people. You will gain a new vantage point on your life, from which new possibilities will be both evident and achievable.

The disciplines required in examining ourselves transform the foundations of our spiritual life- the way we think, relate, feel, and behave. At this core level we do not find formulas or dogma, we find the mind of God. The Divine process of transformation that Discovery facilitates is an ongoing act of preparing for God's love in you as well as the unique continuing expression of your love to others. The results of this process include:

· Clarifying your vision for the future and prioritizing your commitments to better serve your calling. You will develop your ability to take action in ways that contribute to the vision and destiny God has revealed through your longings to love and be loved.

· Deepening the fulfillment you experience in the most fundamental aspects of life-especially in daily activities such as working with your spouse, building a career, educating your children, and making wise and diligent choices when it comes to relating to friends and family. You will begin to experience making the difference your life was destined to make.

· Breaking through the cultural assumptions, opinion' theory, and thinking that is designed to make you believe that you are a product of your past or environment. Discovery is a call to a future compelled by imagination and grounded in what God has revealed through your gifts and most intimate longings.

· Developing ways of thinking that compel you to relate to mystery, risk, and change as opportunities instead of problems. You will practice valuable disciplines that will support you in resolving conflict and breakdown with hope, grace, and mercy.

· Engaging your daily commitments with a confidence that the Spirit of God is with you. You will experience an anticipation and sense of adventure when facing the challenges and struggles that naturally arise out of ordering the chaos of everyday life as well as taking on the risks and responsibilities of loving another person.
