  8. MEDITATION Is a continuous INTROSPECTIONwhich ALLOWS us to clearly UNDERSTAND who WE ARE (SELF CONSCIENCE) and to FREELY CHOOSE who WE WANT TO BECOME (SELF PROMOTION) G. La Tour

  9. SELF CONSCIENCE Having a very THOUGHTFUL cast of MIND, one has to think only of ONESELF, NOT of the EXTERNAL WORLD, to implement SELF CRITICISM Gnothi Sauton Nosce te ipsum Get to know yourself

  17. COMMITTMENT of CLUB is to CREATE the CONDITIONSto IMPLEMENT the SPIRITUAL PATH of all its MEMBERS through EMPATHY

  18. EMPATHY is a WAY to UNDERSTAND what the OTHERS are FEELINGwith RESPECT and PARTICIPATION. A WAY to OFFER a RELATIONSHIP BASED on LISTENING WITHOUT JUDGING, LISTENING WITH INTEREST to other MEMBERS’ FEELINGS and NEEDS

  19. EMPATHY means being AVAILABLE to OFFER FULL ATTENTION, PUTTING ASIDE OUR OWN WORRIES and FEELINGS for a while;is a WAY to establish a better COMMUNICATION which can be LEARNT by EXPERIENCE and BASED on HUMBLENESS Mantegna

  20. SOCIAL EMPATHY: SOCIAL WELL BEING ORIGINATES from PERSONAL WELL BEING UNLESS you FEEL WELL with YOURSELF, how can you FEEL WELL with the OTHERS ?

  21. SOCIAL EMPATHY Is to be SENSITIVE for all EVENTS happening on EARTH, feeling INVOLVED and CO-RESPONSIBLE; it is NECESSARY to CREATE a COLLECTIVE CONSCIENCE to MODIFY some DEEPLY ROOTED BEHAVIOURS at SOCIAL and CULTURAL level

  22. In order to DEVELOP a “HEALTH CULTURE” in the SOCIETY, it is NECESSARY to PROMOTEsome VALUES such as: • INTERDEPENDENCE, as a SYSTEM of INTER-RELATIONS, RAISED to the level of MORAL and SOCIAL CAZTEGORY, a VIRTUE. • SOLIDARITY, as the WILLINGNESS to UNDERTAKE ACTIONS for the COMMON GOOD, in other words for the GOOD of EVERYONE. • EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYONE John Paul II, Enciclica “SOLLECITUDO REI SOCIALIS”

  23. ECOLOGICAL – SOCIAL APPROACH for the TREATMENT of ALCOHOLRELATED and MIXED PROBLEMS The CHANGE DOES NOT ONLY MEAN SEEKING and LIVING the SOBRIETY at INIVIDUAL LEVEL, but in addition MEANS a NEW KIND of BEHAVIOUR involving the FAMILIES and the COMMUNITY. FINDING and IMPLEMENTING a NEW POSSIBILITY to COMMUNICATE and INTERACT for a BETTER QUALITY of LIFE.

  24. LIFE, a mystery that can be seen either as a spontaneous development of organic material from the Universe, or as a gift from God or from the Nature. In both cases it is not our private property, on the contrary, we might say that it has been lent to us by God or the Nature. In any event, even though we are free to use it, from an ethical point of view we are not free to intentionally damage it or to destroy it. Hudolin Assisi 1995

  25. SPIRITUALITY IS NOT a VIRTUE in the ABSTRACT, it EMERGES IN EVERY DAY’SGESTURES, ACTIONS, CHOICES
