The Empower Austin Project
Learning Mind Skills that Unleash Your Potential
The greatest discovery you’ll ever make...
...is the potential of your own mind.
Jose Silva
Founder of the Silva Method
Free Classes for Students and Adults
(Refer to notes below)
The Silva Method of Central Texas is launching a new series of free classes designed to teach adults and students how to use mind-focusing techniques to develop better skills for decision-making, speed learning, test-taking and energizing goals.
The Empower Austin Project will feature three classes that will be held in libraries in north, central and south Austin in the month of August. These classes are open to the public and are free of charge. The material presented will feature proven educational methods that have been researched and taught by The Silva Method, an internationally established organization, for over 40 years. The techniques demonstrated will help participants direct their minds more effectively, improve grades, make wiser decisions and energize their goals to succeed.
