All about "Think Global, Act Local!"
The initiatives we have promoted, often combined with embryonic plans for all-out-movements, have been –
- Coffee House Conversations;
- Overcoming Polarization;
- Exceptional Community;
- Making Violence Obsolete;
- Beyond Gender Tyranny;
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!

Why play New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME?
Because it is --
“The win-win way to personal, social and political change”
-- through transparency, honesty and accountability
- Learning to dialogue rather than debate as a relationship and community-building art;
- Learning the art of leaning in;
- Learning the art of exceptional community-building;
- Learning the art of being an exceptional leader;
- Learning the art of transforming any Dark Side Warrior areas of yourself into the Compassionate Warrior;
- Learning to be a Titan, an embodiment of the art of dealing with the Dark Side Warrior in others, should you choose to do so.
