Event Details
Date: Sunday, November 24, 2019; 10:00am – 4:30pm
Sliding Scale: $75 – 200. Code DG2D19.
5.5 CE credits available for $55, for psychologists and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, and LPCCs.
Description:
Most couples envision sharing a life of love and joy with each other. We look forward to deepened intimacy and inner discovery. Then somewhere along the way, we feel as though they are bushwhacking through a thicket of life’s issues.
We ask, “Is there a map or trail that will guide us on our journey?” This workshop offers a time-tested path for couples that leads partners towards the treasures that are hidden in our hearts. We discover that a joyful, awakened connection is possible. We will learn to be more mindful of our communication patterns, which can either draw us closer together or create distance.
Experiential exercises and guided partner meditations will give couples tools and inspiration to choose patterns that open our hearts and support awakening. We will learn specific practices to reignite the spark of an alive and growing love, and which can be done on an ongoing way at home.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
At the end of the program you will better able to:
• Identify unconscious communication patterns that undermine integrity and reinforce separation;
• Utilize communication skills with clients that deepen compassion and self-awareness;
• Utilize skills, in a clinical setting, that help to strengthen one’s own ability to stay present in the moment, and listen more deeply;
• Demonstrate to clients a conflict resolution model, which will help them explore the reasons behind repetitive conflicts.
