CoreTraining: Building the Foundation for Meditative Living
with Dan Rotnem
In person and via Zoom
CoreTraining is a transformative program designed to help
individuals develop self-mastery, emotional intelligence, and mental strength
through purposeful living. The program features 12 practices–6 meditations and
6 mindfulness exercises—that blend ancient wisdom with modern psychological
insights. Dan will lead a 90-minute hybrid session on the first Sunday of each
month, focusing on a different CoreTraining practice. This system empowers you
to unlock your highest potential and navigate life’s challenges with clarity,
purpose, and authenticity.
CoreTraining suits people seeking to integrate spiritual growth
with emotional intelligence and practical life skills. Its focus on identity,
co-creation, and transformative practice creates a system that supports stress
reduction, self-transcendence, and comprehensive
personal growth and empowerment.
The twelve practices are divided into six modules, each
containing one meditation and one mindfulness practice. Each practice is
effective on its own and can be engaged with by beginners and advanced students
alike. You do not need to attend all sessions to “keep up” or benefit.
Participation in all sessions is not required.

CreativeSource is a powerful
meditation practice that helps you cultivate focus, creativity, and inner
balance. In this workshop, you’ll learn to quiet the mind, enhance your
attention, and tap into your inner energy source. Using techniques drawn from
Zen, Taoism, and modern mindfulness, you’ll begin by focusing your mind on a
simple object—like counting breaths with mala beads—to build mental clarity and
discipline. As you progress, you’ll incorporate breathwork and energetic
visualization, allowing you to feel a surge of vitality and contentment flow
through your body. This foundational practice will help you build emotional
resilience, creative clarity, and a deeper connection to your true self.
Whether new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this 90-minute workshop
will equip you with powerful tools to unlock your highest potential. Join us to
experience the flow of creativity and purpose you’ve been seeking.
