MASTER'S COURSE

THE ESSENCE OF BEING HUMAN

Humans are the products of selection acting on ape populations over millions of years. Each of us has within us the power of thousands of generations of our ancestors, forging an evolutionary path of success through intellect, empathy, cunning, charisma, strength and generosity. We can use our understanding of our evolutionary past and the adaptations we carry within us to improve our lives. We can embrace the power that comes with this knowledge and fully realize the, "...grandeur in this view of life," that Darwin described over 150 years ago.   

THE PROGRAM

The Master's Course     is a six month program designed for individuals that want to challenge their own understanding and take their lives to another level. The program is thorough and deals with every aspect of what it means to be human. The program will culminate in the journey of a lifetime to Africa, with Dr. Sherrow as your guide.

OUR PLACE IN NATURE

To move forward, one must understand where they came from. For humans, those origins lie in our African ancestry and our ape heritage. The program will begin with an introduction to our place in nature and a clear understanding of the evolutionary processes that produced our special species of ape.

HEALTHY LIVING

Every successful project has a strong foundation to build upon. Our mental and physical health, together form our foundation, and we need them to unleash our full potential. The second phase of the program focuses on establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

RELATIONSHIPS EVOLVING

Relationships are what compel us to wake up in the morning, to work all day and to live each day to its fullest. Without relationships we are alone and as Donne said, "No man is an island." The third phase of the program is designed to help you build new relationships or strengthen the relationships you already have.

ALLIANCES

Alliances are the cornerstones of cooperation and success for humans everywhere. Yet, too many people in today's world have forgotten how to form powerful, impacting alliances. Part four of the program will help you learn to strengthen existing bonds, identify potential allies and form sustainable coalitions.

COMMUNITIES

Communities provide humans with the support we need, and without them we wither and shrink, we are social animals. The fifth part of the program focuses on how to identify and join communities that enrich and advance your life.  

LEADERS EVOLVING 

Leaders are the critical components of any community or organization. Part six of the program identifies what traits make up a leader and how to bring those out in you.
