Transformational Workshops

Open Up Workshop Series: The Path of Inner Awareness, Self-Appreciation, Compassion, and Acceptance.

Our lives are full of denial, addiction and that forever need to grasp for more. Open Up is a series of workshops that capture the power behind forgiving ourselves and others to befriend the ego. Letting go, finding acceptance in who we are by understanding our past and valuing that our experiences are essential in the connection to the self. We can change ourselves at a cellular level by shifting our perceptions within and around others. This connection to the self opens the heart. When the heart opens, love enters. Acceptance, forgiveness, and connectedness are three qualities that are imminently present.

But what do we go through when we decide to open to Love? We discover we've been out of touch with our true self. We have frozen bodies, frozen emotions, and rigidity of thinking. We've separated our feelings from our minds. Hard to accept, but this is the beginning of forgiveness. It is experienced as warmth, radiation, expansion, emptiness and a quiet peacefulness. Our storylines melt and become irrelevant and our identity shifts from "what's in it for me" but rather "my purpose is to serve".

Merge Emerge Ongoing Support Group
For those of you who have attended any of my "growth groups" from the past, we merge into one.

This group provides a supportive, healthy environment to maintain open heartedness. The focus is on staying present to the choice of love. Emphasizing the shifts from old beliefs and attitudes, family patterns, loss, relationship and communication issues to conscious, intentional choices.

The format includes:
* lecture (topics from past readings)
* group share
* breathwork and meditation

When the heart opens, love enters, melting our frozen bodies and emotions, softening ridgid thinking.
