Welcome to LIVING VALUES AUSTRALIA
Living Values' purpose is to provide guiding principles and tools for the development of the whole person, recognizing that the individual is comprised of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.
The aims are:
- To help individuals of all ages, cultures and race to think about and reflect on different values and the practical implications of expressing them in relation to themselves, others, the community, and the world at large;
- To deepen understanding, motivation, and responsibility with regard to making positive personal and social choices;
- To inspire individuals to choose their own personal, social, moral, and spiritual values and be aware of practical methods for developing and deepening them within the home, the workplace, the community; and
- To encourage each of us to offer our young people a philosophy of living, thereby facilitating their overall growth, development, and choices so they may integrate themselves into the community with respect, confidence, and purpose.
Point of Difference
"The quality that makes Living Values different to every other approach to human development is that it is not a teaching.
It does not rest fundamentally on ideas or in ideals...it offers the notion of what might be embodied in a Value, but it totally acknowledges that these qualities are beyond words, or ideas, they are innate in the heart and soul of every man, woman and child and the journey to their fully lived expression comes through 'feeling'.
Consequently they cannot be extended, only revealed. They cannot be contained in philosophy or doctrine, espoused by gurus, or extended through religion. They are already yours.
Every individual knows them in their own unique way. That is why this Program is such a refreshing experience. It is about you. It enables you to take time for yourself to discover the Truth of you. The beauty you have inside you, revealing what you already know. Bringing it to the light of your own conscious awareness to enable you to live and extend it in totality.
And the lived expression of these Values changes everything..."
