Strong Mind Foundation Kicks Off The Lenten Season With a Succesful Spiritual Seminar

Days before the Holy Week, Strong Mind Foundation, headed by its Founder and President Rolando Cortez, facilitated a 1-day transformative spiritual seminar.

Find out how the Strong Mind Foundation’s initiative transformed the mindset of the attendees and what you should look forward to in the coming sessions. 

Strong Mind Spiritual Seminar

On March 23, 2024, the Strong Mind Foundation held its first-ever Spiritual Seminar at Rosary Hills Conference Center in Brgy. Hoyo, Silang, Cavite.

Strong Mind Foundation aims to prosper reconnection and a journey toward spiritual renewal and mental health awareness, just in time for the Lenten Season.

The event was divided into five segments that sought to tackle the seminar’s purpose, the importance of mental health, as shared by Dr. Noreen Molina – a Psychiatrist and co-founder of Hiraya Wellness Retreat,  understanding the paschal seed, and lots of spiritual exercises.

A true-to-life inspiring story of Jelyn Hermoso also sparked inspiration as she shared her testimony about her mental health journey. 

Strong Mind Foundation has been successful in its objective of helping attendees feel solemnity during their program.

Guests can’t help but share their experiences immediately after the event and spread the word about how the Strong Mind Foundation helped them renew themselves.

Kaye Tesorero: “In this event po, we can be vulnerable, maging mahina for a moment, and mag rant. It’s a safe place to burst out what gives us a weight in life. Sobrang nakakagaan ng puso na, ma-voice out ang mabigat na nararamdaman.” 

Richelda Barrot: “Gusto kong magpasalamat sa Strong Mind Foundation and specially to Sir Rolly, dahil binuo nya yung foundation na ito at napaka swerte ko kasi isa ako sa unang naka experience ng seminar na ito. Dahil dito mas nabuksan ang aking kaisipan laban sa anxiety at depression at alam ko bukod sa’kin mas marami pang matutulungan ang foundation na ito lalo na dun sa mga taong hopeless at pakiramdam nila mag isa sila.”

Kyshia Chiong: “It’s important to remember to pray to our God. We need to surrender all our worries to Him. It’s not hard to seek help from those people who can understand you and can validate your situation.”

Honey Castillo-Panguban: “Thank you so much, Strong Mind Foundation, for the knowledge you’ve shared. I’m grateful to experience such a wonderful event like this.”

Jennelyn Likas Cano: “Thank you Strong Mind Foundation! Walang sapat na salita para sa naranasan namin. Thank you Sir Rolando Cortez sa mga mabubuting salita na tumatak sa aming isipan.”

Joan Cortez: “Congratulations, Strong Mind Foundation, for the success of the first spiritual seminar. Continue to share your advocacy about mental health awareness to touch more Filipinos.”

Life Changing Initiative

Of course, VIYLine Group of Companies’ Business Development Manager, Ivy Cortez-Ragos, and Yiv Cortez also shared their memorable experience during the seminar.

“Thankful ako sa STRONG MIND Foundation kay Papa Rolando Cortez kasi napuno ng positivity at lumuwag ang puso ko,” Ivy wrote in a Facebook post.

Meanwhile, Yiv Cortez shared: “I really learned a lot from this seminar. I’m proud to say this seminar helps us para malabas ‘yung bigat na dinadala namin. I hope many people will appreciate these kinds of things kasi it will transform you.”
