Many have journeyed on a path of individual exploration in search of wholeness, having discovered that relationship is both the most challenging while also the most rewarding path to wholeness and connection. To remain centered and grounded, separate and connected, we need to enhance our capacity for expanded ways of relating. Through gentle and empathic, authentic and intentional communication, development of relational skills and processes can help to illuminate a new path, where connection to self and deep intimacy with another are inclusive. In fact, the other provide the mirror to define us more accurately.
We invite you to consider attending our workshops for couples and individuals. As participants you will:
We experienced emotional states from our earliest childhood, without the capacity to manage these states consciously and with intentionality. As a consequence of our survival strategies and our human need to be loved and approved, to "fit in", we gradually build a character structure around our vulnerabilities. We seek relief from the pain of these vulnerabilities and archaic woundings in our intimate relationships. We consciously as well as unconsciously expect our beloved to be the source of our fulfillment. When our partners act in ways that activate the pain behind and beneath our character armor, we become defensive, blaming them for re-injuring our pre-existing wounds. We expect our partners to know or intuit how to love us perfectly. Our expectations place untold pressure on our relationships locking us into a cycle of disappointment and blame, shame and criticism.
By undertaking an archeological dig into our family of origin experiences, and exposing archaic adaptations and ways of being by which we survived our childhood, we release from our survival strategies, move closer to our essence, building trust and developing an ability to open to undefended loving.
Trust is fundamental to co-creating conscious, positive, constructive, functional relationships, and is the sacred ground of enduring partnerships. It is one of the earliest relational attributes to develop in infants, and is crucial for the emotional and social well-being of people of all ages throughout the life span. The development of trust in intentional and sacred relationships moves the participants away from the innocent, naive trust of infants to sacred trust and safety that is central to mature relationships.
It is crucial to experience trust in our relationships, and to intentionally develop the ability to discern whom to and whom not to trust. Our workshops help you to identify your archaic strategies that interfere with and/or sabotage trust. When you restore compassion and trust for your partner and yourself, and thereby create safety, your heart will open to undefended loving.
We have reached a period in history where we seek meaning and purpose in our lives, where we can claim our place in the fabric of human evolution, where we are called to contribute to evolution of the whole. We invite you at this unprecedented time in the human journey to transcend old patterns of conditioning. Establish your place in cosmic ourney, embracing your connectedness and thereby your wholeness.
