Equilibrium Dynamics is a new charitable corporation looking for people who share our mission to enable underserved groups to build successful lives and communities. We approach this by teaching how to use feelings to empower – rather than sabotage – careers, relationships and recurring issues in everyday life. If you value these same goals, we invite you to add us to your list of favorite charities.

Our workshops and seminars teach our students the principles and skills of managing feelings, both internally and in relationships. This requires coordinating feelings with thinking, judgment and actions. Without such workshops many minority and low income students of all ages would not have access to these techniques and training in emotional competence known to improve the likelihood of success. In fact, almost every public high school student at one of our recent workshops reported in questionnaires that “some” or “all” of the information we taught was new and helpful to them.

Frequently, we also receive unsolicited feedback about the positive impact of our workshops. One man sent us this particularly inspiring email this summer:

"My name is [‘Tong’] and I had talked to you at the recent seminar that you held [for exam anxiety]. I wanted to thank you so much for all your help, with helping me find out why I was not able to do well on the [exam, despite doing well on practice tests]. It really helped to sit down and express my feelings with you. Later that day, I went home and let the tears just pour out. I also wrote in my journal, [as trained,] expressing my fears and coming up with another career that I could see myself doing [if I was not able to do well on this retake]. I just took the real [exam] this Saturday, and I would have to say that I feel very good about it. I took it off the pedestal, and 1saw it as just another day. Knowing that if I didn't do well on this exam, [it] didn't mean the end of my life, really helped. I would be just as content [doing another career], and I know that my family would just be as proud of me, as long as I succeeded in something. I owe all of this to you. Thank you so much. Hope to see you again."

Positive results like these motivate us to reach more students, more regularly. However, to do that, Equilibrium Dynamics needs philanthropic contributions, large and small. We would love you to consider such a financial gift if you would like to invest in our underserved communities through us. We promise our “best performance,” including careful spending. If you have any questions or ideas, or would like to meet or talk with me, please give me a call at 415-333-8631, or write to contact@EquiD.org.

Yours sincerely,
