Course Descriptions

This course is for you if you want to:

inhabit life with richness and vigour climb out of self-defeating ruts move beyond obsession and apathy reclaim your full range of feeling and expression realize growth in your anger energy expand into greater self-compassion

Description :
Passion rises out of a vibrant balance of expression and containment in one's life. To lack passion is to experience life as flat, empty and colourless . The most common complaint of our time is simply that 'something is missing'. What's missing is our full and passionate engagement with life!

Passion involves intense feeling, aliveness and contact-and the possibility of personal fulfillment. Rediscover your zest for living and bring yourself more fully into contact with your world.

Reclaim your passion!

Format:
This is a dynamic course with both experiential and theoretical elements. We'll start by defining 'passion'. We'll look at our 'holding' patterns and use body/breath release work; closed-eye exercises; gestalt work; group discussion, music and many other energetic methods of self-expression. Individuals will be encouraged to participate in body and energy mapping exercises and to explore their belief and behaviour patterns.

Testimonials: "This course will serve to remind me to appreciate life, and to be more cognizant of making the most of every experience." October 2007 "Absolutely I would recommend this course (actually any course offered by The Haven). I have attended three courses now...Each one has been quite different, and immeasurably helpful!!!" May 2007 "What I liked most about this course was the small group atmosphere of the weekend, being only 7 participants. It was a very intimate group and I felt comfortable right away. I think that I got more out of the course because of the nature of our group. I also loved the leaders of course!" May 2007 "Great course...thanks for another great experience." May 2007
