Adrian's Story

I recently completed a Passion Search™ workshop and what I discovered wasn’t what I expected. Like most of us who have contacted Centerpoint and taken, or thought about taking, Passion Search, I have been struggling with the conundrum of "what to do with my life". For years I’ve tried many avenues, all leading to less than total satisfaction. I began class with high hopes and low expectations, and somewhere during the class, something unexpected found me.

To quote an Open Space principle: "Whoever comes is the right people." Not only was this true for me and our group, I feel it is the most important aspect of the workshop. One of my fellow students has been an actress for most of her life, and her feedback frequently relayed that she perceived I have an aptitude for acting and voice. Other students agreed. Never before had I given the concept of being an actor more than a moment’s thought, and I certainly didn’t expect that to come from Passion Search. Yet here I was in a workshop designed for finding one’s life passion, and this was one of the amazing things that I learned about myself.

Another anonymous quote: "The universe supports you when you are on your path." On a whim I took a one-evening voiceover course through a local continuing education school. I found the class to be thoroughly engaging and interesting. Halfway through, the instructor asked me to stay after class. I was taken aback by what this wise and seasoned acting teacher told me. In a nutshell, she saw potential and wanted to work with me. I’ve been taking lessons from her ever since, and am finding the process, concept, and future potentialities exciting.

I can honestly say that Centerpoint, and in particular the Passion Search workshop, was the medium by which the universe illuminated the path toward my life’s passion. I didn’t get what I was looking for: I found something unexpected and much more exciting.
