Honor the Resistance to Your Gifts: Develop your Intuition

In this time of powerful change, many are maximizing their potential and finding greater purpose in their lives by using intuition as their guide. The use of intuition can provide powerful guidance supporting everyday decision making. Whatever path you are on in life, there has never been a better time to find the freedom, clarity, joy and integration of all aspects of your life. Overcoming your fears will offer you the chance to create the life you always knew, deep down, you could live. When ‘opening’ to the intuitive voice, it is often difficult to discern between the sound of your mind or the voice of your heart speaking to you. This workshop will provide the experience you need to learn and trust the deeper, wiser voice within. In order to hear this voice you will need to honor (be aware) of the resistance…the fears that many of us acquired early in life. Whether it is felt as an inner experience or seen in the circumstances of your life, this resistance is legitimate feedback that can guide you to a true, deep listening of your inner voice and can show the path towards a life of greater meaning. This workshop will help you see your resistance and transform it into an intuitive message of hope. You will learn:

Truly hearing and finally trusting your intuition

Participants will leave this workshop feeling supported in their personal development.

Each will have the tools necessary to continue their journey of realizing their most profound potential. In that process they will move towards a recognition of healing and love that they can draw upon.

Body, Breath, Consciousness and Sound

A trend of change is in the air…….

The world is waking up and awakening to an awareness of the self that is deeper than what appears on the surface…

Join us for an evening/afternoon of connection in this unique workshop Body, Breath, Consciousness and Sound

What is this workshop about? This transformational workshop integrates the works of many different techniques aimed towards the achievement of personal growth, expansiveness of consciousness, healing and spirituality.

With the assistance of facilitators, a safe environment and a partner/sitter for support, you can experience your “self” beyond your beliefs, emotions and sensations. Evocative music assists the “journeying” process accompanied by the breath bringing awareness to the body, images and experiences that are unique for each individual.

Why attend this workshop? In our daily experiences we are influenced by the dramas of the past. So much more of us is hidden from view. By glancing into the deeper self, explore unknown aspects of your being, bringing forth new functional resources to your relationships and interactions in every day life.

How does this happen? These aspects of yourself are ever present, but during this four hour time frame set aside you have an opportunity to “let go” and become an explorer. The music, breath, movement and support aide in this process.

What does the breath do? For thousands of years, attention to breathing has been a significant focus in many psychological and spiritual traditions. Many of the Eastern systems relating to human development are the same as developmental psychologies of the west. Eastern and Shamanic systems use breathing for both psychological and spiritual growth. Awareness of the breath helps to give the mind a focus and can open up awareness to other realities of the psyche.

How will I let go? Your inner psyche has a protective mechanism that is “built in”, allowing you to experience only that which you are ready to explore. Your full conscious awareness of actions is always available and you can stop the process at any time. With the assistance of skilled facilitators your experience will be kept safe and supported.

Are there any risks? This technique is not advised for individuals who are pregnant, experiencing cardiac disorders, high blood pressure or having mental illness.

Following one session of breathing, partners will switch roles. A full group debrief will occur at the end of the two segments. Discussion will ensue to discover mechanisms for integration of awareness into function.

Honoring Transitions

This workshop invites you to explore the complex and deeply spiritual issues of life, death and re-birth. Based upon the Science of Spirit by Rudolf Steiner, and the contributions of Kubler-Ross, Maria de Hennezel, Dr. Cesare Boni and Mr. Almut Bockemuhl, Donata will guide participants in a journey of discovery and philosophy regarding personal connections to the process of conscious living and transitions towards death.

Using the medium of art, specifically watercolor, group sharing and meditation, in the safe container of a group in which to share, you will be given the time and opportunity to explore your own creativity.

With the guidance of this gifted healer, you will be invited and given time to move inside yourself. This will allow you to explore and deepen your spirit as you continue along your path.

No previous art experience is necessary.
