Why Play New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME?

Over the past dozen years or so, New Horizons has endeavored to offer the best of ourselves through various initiatives, our first civic program being the "I've Got A Dream Conversations" project, preceded by our profound involvement in the Jewish-Muslim Controversy that brought us a highly regarded, regional reputation for aiding groups and organizations to overcome polarization on the local level.

All about "Think Global, Act Local!"

The initiatives we have promoted, often combined with embryonic plans for all-out-movements, have been –
We have, additionally, taken extensive time and effort to gain a comprehensive understanding of what is needed most for our United States of America to be functioning at optimal levels. Our Possible Human, Possible Society Study has been our primary source for this. 

As an organization, New Horizons and I, as Founder and Executive Director, are most grateful for the kindness, support and information that given us, related to these efforts.

As each of these initiatives took form, we found ourselves making new friends and drawing encouragement from additional and varied sources, many of this coming through the key leadership of the nearby community in which we have, primarily, been involved, Frederick, Maryland. 

However, with all that we accomplished and the rewards gained, there was always something missing for me, personally, and the vision I held as Founder and Executive Director of New Horizons, a special touch that constantly left me yearning for a certain overlooked, key element or two, in the final analysis.

I had come from a clinical psychotherapy, private practice that had, over many years evolved into a therapeutic community outpatient treatment structure. 

I loved what I had created, under the guidance and supervision of my psychiatrist mentor, Martin G. Groder, M.D., that had been outstandingly impactful, well-received and applauded throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, especially the results that came out of our New Horizons GAME, originally called the Discount Derby – and – now, in its revitalized form, New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME.

I missed this program immensely when I found myself without eyesight for close to eight years, unable to return to my office in Rockville, Maryland -- and -- when, eventually after seven eye surgeries, I was unable to return to my work, no longer a licensed clinician and, consequently, without the abundant following of respectful and appreciative clients I had enjoyed and been rewarded by for a quarter of a century.

Now, however, the New Horizons GAME is back!  

And each and every day, now, since we launched our first GAME event, last September, I am feeling more and more as if I am coming home to my self -- and -- home to a way of living and being with people that more and more truly represents and nurtures who I truly am.

Ushered in by the hunger I was experiencing on the heels of coming out of the close to one year ordeal of my ITAA Ethics Complaint ordeal that had been, in my opinion, so lacking in the transparency, honesty, cooperation and accountability I had come to rely on in the days of “old” New Horizons and its powerfully transforming GAME community, pre-blindness (1973 – 1998).  

At that point the only thing I thought that might assuage the emotional burdens I had accrued during my Ethics Complaint ordeal would be to reestablish a new monthly GAME event, new GAME support groups, once again, wide spread GAME participation and GAME Master training, now set to begin Fall, 2019.

So it came to be that at “new” New Horizons we are doing it! 

Beginning to live out my dream, with win-win for all who join with us!

We hope, in time, that will include YOU!

This is the New Horizons project, program and MOVEMENT we believe is here to stay!

This movement, in time, will encompass all New Horizons has to provide in the service of our main initiative "Building (and sustaining) small "zones of peace" -- top of the line!

OMG!

Yesterday's Truth Or Dare GAME (#6) proved it!

I (Anastasia) am so excited!!!!!!


Who would’ve believed it? 

Certainly not me!

That I could hold the vision, for twenty, long, arduous years, for the return of New Horizons most famous, even infamous, Truth Or Dare GAME (formerly the Discount Derby) – and make it come true?

Imagine that! After twenty long years! 

A miracle!

Question: Why twenty years?

Answer: Because I was blind for eight years and took another twelve to come back to full speed. Meanwhile, no one else could be our GAME Conductor!

But here it is now!  Just in time for New Horizons to throw its hat in the ring to help deal with our national chaos!

Question: And, why is it infamous?

Answer: Because New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME (formerly the Discount Derby) has not only transformed hundreds, if not thousands of lives, but has also saved a good number of them, with its unique capacity for digging into the Dark Side and turning it upside down. (That's what Titans do!) Then right side up into the Light.

Since 1976!!

Note on "Elites" (in progress): New Horizons takes its usage of the word "elite," referencing our core GAME community, from the terminology of Murat Yagan, Abkhazian Elder (deceased), who served as New Horizons Community Development Mentor until his passing in 2013.

Murat's definition of an "elite" is as follows: "An attained Human who has reached the highest manifestation of his/her faculties in wholeness."

With this definition, in mind, we attribute "Elites (in progress) to our core GAME community members who make up the majority of the New Horizons Board of Directors -- and -- who have also been involved with New Horizons, some now going on thirty years. 

We are proud to call them "Elites (in progress)," acknowledging the human potential attainment these Board Members have achieved though still being, very much, works in progress.
