Seminar 1
Managing the Negative Inner Voice: Rearranging the Narrative of My Inner Dialogue, 10/10
Through the writings of Marshall Rosenburg, Krishnamurti, and other essential teachers, we will examine our inner voices. Is it yours, your family’s, society’s? Is your inner critic protecting you, or imprisoning you from living your authentic life?
​
Our focus will be recognizing this voice, understanding where it resides in the body. We will find your own individual practices to release these negative voices and to connect to your authentic dialogue.
​
Seminars 2 & 3
Letting Go/Transforming Guilt, 10/17 & 10/24
Guilt and shame are often employed as manipulative strategies by those in power (ie, parents, employers, politicians) to diminish the self-esteem of others. These strategies may be based on a generally excepted community standard (sometimes a positive thing) yet condemn individuals who have failed to live up to these standards. These feelings are often embedded at an early age; we may carry these devalued self-images and feelings throughout our lives.
​
In these two classes we'll examine and discuss the origins and validity of these feelings and discover new ways to revaluate and rehabilitate our perceptions of self value. Through increased self-awareness and rituals of release, we seek to transform these limitations.
​
Seminar 4
Be Here Now – Allowing Presence, 11/7
Past – future – the attachment of what was or is to be, rob us of our joy. The awareness and practice of being in the moment can become more habitual when we add ritual into each day. As we become more present, we increase the potential for satisfaction and joy. Love arises with greater spontaneity and ease.
​
Seminar 5
Meeting the Challenges of Ageing with Grace, 11/14
We embody the experience of all of our ages. We see these ages of life in ourselves and in the members of our community that surround us. The losses of ability and diminished capacity for ourselves and our friends may be increasingly challenging.
We will honor these challenges, and with grace, we will endeavor to redefine – as we age – our physical limitations as well as our essential concepts of value and self-worth.
​
Seminar 6
Heart space, Loving Self, Loving Others, 11/21
Loving ourselves empowers us to love others. We will examine what it means to be present in life. What keeps us from holding ourselves from true love? How may we incorporate relationship with self as our highest priority? And how does this bring us into greater love of others?
​
All Seminars are on Thursdays 6:30-8PM, and will be held in our upstairs facility that we call our "Treehouse".
Priority registration when you sign up for entire series. Please contact Sabrina for registration of individual seminars.
