Michael Maynard – the first British leader of The Mastery – has called it “the Mastery on paper.” Can't say better than that! What is the Mastery of Self Expression? Created by Dan Fauci in 1977, this workshop was based originally on the training of actors. It is a workshop which is designed to give you an experience of your own capacity for creative and spontaneous self-expression, to connect you to your passions and to enable you to discover who you really are and to challenge beyond who you know yourself to be.  It is about you as an individual and what becomes possible for you when you release more of yourself into your life.   Over the past 30 years, thousands of people have done the Mastery across the globe. Leaders of the Mastery are seen as some of the best and most highly trained in personal development and are bound by the Code of Ethics developed by the Institute for Creativity.   Many people describe “The Mastery” as a truly life changing event.
