Calm Amid Chaos
Make Peace with Challenging Events
Are you facing a serious and intense life challenge
or crisis? The death of a loved one, the loss of your
job, the break-up of your relationship, the loss of
your nest egg in the stock market or even a physical
attack? Do you feel traumatized, overwhelmed, like
it’s all unfair? Or maybe you just want to stand tall in
the face of any event or obstacle.
Imagine being able to maintain an inner quiet and
strength in the face of challenging and seemingly
incomprehensible events. Not by hiding from them
or ignoring them, but by facing them unflinchingly
and with ease. In Calm Amid Chaos you will develop
a foundational system of interlocking beliefs that
enable you to stand easy in the face of whatever the
world throws at you.
This is the program Co-Founder Barry Neil Kaufman
describes as "a life game-changer that took me to
the next level."
What you will learn in Calm Amid Chaos:
Make Everything Make Sense: Shift your point
of view so that everything actually makes sense
– take in the world through a powerful perspective
that lets you find meaning and beauty in
seemingly senseless events
Positive Bias: Uncover preconceptions that
negatively bias your spin on life; replace them
with perspectives that let you see light where
you previously saw darkness
Like a Rock: Forge a foundational system of
beliefs, an intelligent grid, that is unshakable in
the face of adversity and challenge
Practical & Personal: On top of this foundation,
construct your own practical everyday philosophy
that will take you wherever you want to go
with your life
I came to The Option Institute dragging my past and wanting someone to fix me. Each course that I have taken has helped me get in touch with a piece of myself. After Calm Amid Chaos, I am waving my arms in the air and so happy to be alive knowing that my “fix-it kit” is right inside me! I can take this knowledge with me everywhere I go. Deep, deep gratitude to all the spectacular teachers.

I came to Calm Amid Chaos to challenge an old, old pattern of withholding love. This pattern was held up like a flashing neon sign for me to see. Once again, I’ve enjoyed the whole experience so much, including the facilities of the teachers, the wonder and variety of my fellow seekers, and the beautiful Institute environment. In the end, I was surprised at the unexpected challenges that came up. It turned into an extra delicious course, after I’d already enjoyed a whole banquet.

Calm Amid Chaos was definitely life changing! I am excited to know that I can now see “chaos” with different eyes and different beliefs. This program to me, is a valuable guide on how to attain the most happy, adventurous life. I am calm. I am at peace. Thank you for giving me the tools to make that happen.

Calm Amid Chaos is my favorite program. Having taken it a second time now and having used the Intelligrid to make sense of events in my life already, I now see opportunities I missed previously. How exciting! I feel equipped for life.

Calm Amid Chaos was the perfect program at the perfect time. I got exactly what I most longed for; to embrace God again and to trust and hope again. Most exquisite of all, to create a framework that works for how to view the world and everything that happens in my life through a mindset that allows me to trust, hope, and see God in everything.
Jan Marie Gundacker, Son-Rise Family Counselor, CT
The Intelligrid is the perfect shortcut to happiness. The ideas are simple and effective tools for me to use. I loved the class! There is a chorus in the musical Les Miserable – “To love another person is to see the face of God.” I have changed that for myself – “To love another person is to experience my benevolence.” Thank you Option Institute!
Roe Dibona, Restaurateur, NY
Calm Amid Chaos did just that! I calmed the chaos in my mind. It enabled me to see and to remember that “It all works out in the end.” It helped me give myself permission to love myself, have strength in myself and own me and my thoughts.

“Calm Amid Chaos has been the most amazing week of my life. I learned how to dance and play. And above all else, I learned how to love myself completely without conditions or rules. Thank you.
Larry Freed, Coach, MD
I have finally accepted myself having taken Calm Amid Chaos. I don’t need to control everything to be happy! The Intelligrid has given me the tool to change my life!
