In addition to their other professional training and experience, instructors of The Living Course (TLC) have been certified through an extensive two-year training program at the Global Relationship Centers in Austin, Texas. Expertly skilled in facilitating individual process in a group setting, these instructors are able to lead participants through a series of paradigm shifts in support of their goals for the weekend.
I didn’t think one weekend would make a difference, but now I talk about my life in terms of before TLC and after TLC, and believe me, the ‘after’ portion is so much happier and more fulfilled. Read my blog post: ‘The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened to Me.’

I gained a broader sense of myself and my capabilities....I feel that the lessons I learned over the weekend have continued on, as I am more comfortable now with a wider range of emotions.

TLC has changed my life in extraordinary ways; the quality of my relationships, my capacity to experience joy, and my ability to express my feelings effectively in every part of my life.

I am by nature a skeptic, but I will not equivocate in stating that spending the weekend at the TLC course is a remarkable experience which, for some, can be life altering.

Our Instructors
Instructor
Barbara A. Hosler
Barb is from Monroe, Michigan and has owned and operated The Center for Life Enhancement there since 1992. She is an educator, trainer, facilitator, coach, author, wife of 36 years, mother and grandmother.
Barb is a Certified Parent Educator and Trainer with the International Network for Children and Families. For the past 20+ years, she has been sharing her insights and knowledge with individuals, couples, families and teachers; at conventions, in corporations, in classrooms, and as a featured guest on several radio talk shows.
“Teaching TLC all these years has allowed me the opportunity to be a motivating factor in so many individuals’ journey called ‘life.’ Assisting them to achieve new dimensions of relationship with themselves and others—as well as bearing witness to their seeing and accomplishing the vastness of what is possible—has given me a deep sense of purpose and a level of joy and appreciation that is difficult to describe.”
Beyond TLC, Barb continues to motivate and encourage people of all ages to grow beyond what they believe possible through teaching such other personal growth courses as:
- Redirecting Children’s Behavior—a 15 hour parenting course
- The Kid’s Course—personal growth and team building for kids ages 8-12
- The Next Step—a year-long leadership program
- Living With Power—a one-day empowerment workshop
She has had the pleasure to teach these courses not only in the United States, but in Israel and Spain, as well.
Barb is the proud recipient of the 2007, “Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Award for Uplifting Human Values” given by the international Art of Living Foundation.
Instructor
Terry Wilson
Terry has been teaching TLC since its creation in 1996. Prior to that, he taught Understand Yourself and Others (UYO), the course from which TLC was derived. Terry’s introduction to this work began when he was a student in the UYO course in December 1987. Following that course, he was accepted into the two-year instructor training program which he completed in December 1990.
Terry has been the only trainer for new TLC instructors since 2006. He is currently preparing to begin training new instructors in Israel.
“During my course experience I was awakened to life, its possibilities, and my potential to achieve anything I want, like nothing ever had before. As a result, I could not wait to be a part of others having a similar experience and seeing the possibilities and options available to them. Getting to teach has allowed me to continue that process and continues to challenge me in ways I could never have imagined before. Simply put, TLC helped me find my passion and get to do it for a living.”
In addition to teaching TLC, Terry teaches a year-long advanced course, The Next Step, which he designed and began teaching in 1997. He also spent 10+ years working with families teaching the national course Redirecting Children’s Behavior (RCB), as well as training instructors for the RCB course. Finally, Terry designed and taught a course for teens, beginning in 1998, which has been taught at the New York center, the Monroe, Michigan center and is still being taught in Israel.
