Couples: Dealing with Differences

Any two people including those who form a couple or some other pairing, will naturally see, understand, and act upon things differently. Differences therefore are the norm, not the exception. Conflict typically happens when couples get stuck on their differences. This workshop will provide teaching material and experiential activities to teach couples to deal effectively with differences. This workshop is intended to help couples recognize when they are stuck and develop methods of dealing with differences. It is not a substitute for couple therapy. Enrollment is limited to 6 couples/pair.

 
Rekindling the Spirit at work

“Rekindling the Spirit in Work” is about reconnecting with yourself and the work you do. Through creative excercises and sharing with the group, you can gain clarity about your goals in work, skills required to reach those goals, and a deep awareness of your strengths. The process can help you confront and dissolve major blocks to rewarding work and to integrate who you are with what you do. The process is far more effective than narrowly focused vocational perspectives. The emphasis is on “Who is working” From an identification with our highest self , what we can flow more easily and be a direct expression in the world of who we are inside.

This workshop is for people who are beginning new careers, in transition, dissatisfied, or simply bored with their work. Participants often come away with a sense of clarity and purpose. The subtle inner adjustments of identity, attitude, and perspective create greater job satisfaction and offer direction for taking the next steps in work.
 
“NonViolence is only a Breath Away"

According to Jainism life is all whole and complete yet is ever changing. There is no beginning or end, only a constant cycling and recycling of substances and experiences. Life is full of new and fresh moments and never static, giving us the power to create our own circumstances. With right knowledge, right faith and right conduct we know that we have choice in every action and that every moment is a new beginning point which is in the here and now. Jainism's paramount emphasis has been on inner peace, self discipline and non-violent ways of life in action, speech and thought. According to Jain teachings, violence and suffering are the result of disconnectedness from the knowledge of who we are. Indeed there is scientific evidence that disconnectedness in life impairs both the mind and body.

Inherent in human nature lies a core of wisdom, an inner knowing. With meditation and communication skills we can use our innate spiritual resources to move into clarity and freedom and develop self knowledge, we can bring more awareness and sensitivity to our daily process, restoring the natural balance of body, mind, and spirit, and realizing the aliveness that is our birth right. The purpose of this workshop is to develop the skills to maintain and strenghten peace within and without.
