About

The Mastery

Ask Yourself

Are you feeling stuck in your current routine?

Are you yearning for more creativity and passion? 

Do you want to express yourself more fully and connect with others deeply and authentically? 

Are you ready to leap outside your comfort zone, stepping into the present moment and feeling truly alive, connected, and vibrant?  

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then 

The Mastery of Self Expression Workshop 

is for you!

“It was the most profoundly energizing and life-changing experience of my life.  We all left as different people than when we came.  I witnessed people being set free and the chains falling off. 

Absolutely Incredible!”

Donna Inglis

This isn’t just another workshop — it’s an opportunity to experience yourself and your life in a whole new way.  Engaging in dynamic exercises and personalized support you’ll step outside your comfort zone, challenge your assumptions, learn to trust your voice, stand in your truth, and engage with others from a place of self-assurance.

What's in it for you?

Experiential Learning: This is a hands-on, highly interactive workshop where you’ll be at the centre of the action. Expect to be on stage several times throughout the weekend as you explore new ways of expressing yourself and connecting with others. Real-time Feedback: Receive instant, constructive feedback that will help you see yourself clearly and make conscious choices in your life. This is your chance to test your assumptions and shift your perspective in a supportive environment. The unburdening of the Past: This workshop is designed to help you shed the weight of your past and release the outdated personal standards and labels that keep you stuck, empowering you to discover a life filled with power, passion, and purpose. Joy and Laughter: During the workshop, you will re-discover the joy and exuberance for life that you felt as a child. Most participants find themselves laughing with abandonment throughout the weekend, reconnecting with their sense of lightness and spontaneity and fostering freedom and connection. Lasting Transformation: Move from unconsciousness and fogginess to a state of consciousness and clarity, emboldened to actualize your innate power and continue to enjoy the fruits of the work. Ongoing Support: Facilitated Follow-up meeting 10 days after the workshop, opportunity to join a support group and you are welcome to observe or assist Mastery workshops at any location a workshop is being held upon completion.

participant requirements

Group and Individual Exercises: You’ll participate in both group and individual activities designed to challenge your perspectives and reveal your true potential.

This is your opportunity to express yourself fully, knowing that you are in a masterfully-guided environment that celebrates your authenticity.

Our History

The Mastery Workshops began in 1976 as The Mastery of Self Expression Workshop, created by Dan Fauci at the Actor's Institute in New York. Through his work as an actor, director, producer, and acting teacher, he noticed that many actors he knew had lost their passion for their craft due to the rigors of the audition process. It quickly became apparent that this workshop process worked not just for performers but was a powerful catalyst for connecting anyone with their passion for life, leading to its offering to the general public. Soon after moving to LA, actor Ted Danson convinced Dan to bring the workshop there, and the work quickly spread from that point.

The workshop was first introduced in Vancouver, Canada, by Larry Gilman, Paula Shaw, and Linda Darlow, all actors who had trained to lead the workshop under Dan. Since 1982, The Mastery has continued to be offered in Vancouver, fostering a strong community around the workshop due to the graduates who generate amazing results in their personal lives and share this work with the people they care about.

Over the years, The Mastery has been conducted in over 40 cities and 20 countries, continuing to expand worldwide. More than 30,000 people from all walks of life have participated in the workshop. Several other workshops, including Mastering Leadership, The Next Step, and The Abyss (created by Dan, Larry, and Trish Brydon), have grown from the roots of The MASTERY.
