Course Descriptions

This workshop is for you if you:

recognize self-harming patterns in health or relationships have found outward success but inner emptiness are recovering from any addictions experience self-hate find that you are caring for others, but not yourself want to become your own best friend

Description:
There is a joy and good humour in compassion that stands in contrast with the harshness of self-hate. This program explores both ends of this polarity. It is for anyone who has tried to be the person they 'should' be and, in the process, lost touch with the person within.

This is an expansion and exploration of the 'Selves Model' that is presented in the Come Alive program and will be of particular interest to those who found those concepts helpful. However, lack of previous participation in a Come Alive is not any hindrance to the enjoyment and learning in this program.

Format:
Using music, guided imagery, gestalt, art, stories and other experiential forms, you will have an opportunity to learn about the paths that lead you away from yourself and explore the paths that direct you towards self-acceptance. There will be opportunities to explore blame/victim, the 'path of glory' and its self-hate, the path of despair and helplessness and a variety of means of moving toward self-compassion.
