"Even though I consider myself as a 'conscious individual' and on a spiritual path,

I've been able to see what has been really going on in my relationships for years

& how I haven't been able to see the hurtful stuff I've been repeating and setting

up over and over....I thought it was because of what she was doing!!"                                                                              Bernard, 29yrs

 

CREATE CONSCIOUS & COMMITTED

HAPPY & SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS

        Who is this Workshop for? ......

          We recommend this workshop for ALL INDIVIDUALS - whether you are

           SINGLE or PARTNERED

        This transformational workshop is right for you if ......

  • you are happily single and smart enough to want to get to know yourself and learn about the dynamics of intimate relationship before jumping into a committed relationship         

  • you are beginning a relationship you want to keep
  • you are tired of and finished with relationships that don't meet your needs

  • you can't seem to meet the right person
  • you want to meet others with similar values and a deep interest in creating

           a "conscious relationship"

  • you're a couple and you both want to learn more about the unconscious agenda you bring to your relationship

  • you are separated or thinking of separating

  • your partner is not willing to do the work with you

    In this workshop you will......

  • understand why you are attracted to similar people

  • identify your Imago, the partner that your unconscious mind has chosen for you

  • recognise your defenses and learn how to achieve an intimate relationship without creating barriers

  • understand the connection between the frustrations you've experienced in past relationships and your frustrations in childhood and where you are vulnerable as a result of unmet childhood needs

  • learn and benefit from every past relationship

  • let go of painful emotional memories, grieve and say goodbye to former love partners

  • learn and practice practical user-friendly relationship and communication skills to break the negative patterns of relating and go home with a relationship "TOOL BOX".

  • discover how you sabotage relationships to protect yourself from fears and anticipated hurt

  • create a PERSONAL ACTION PLAN of do-able steps

  • know you can change yourself and become a truly great partner to Keep the Love You Find!

"Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change"                                                                                           Wayne Dywer

Relationships mirror back to you that which you most need to learn and determine 90% of your happiness or misery. They will inspire you to open and expand while also stirring up your conditioned patterns from the past that block you from being present.

The Create The Relationships You Want Workshop gives you an opportunity to uncover more of your "Shadow side" - the unconscious agenda/baggage YOU bring to all your adult relationships and to honestly and with clarity answer the questions "What is it like living with me; being in relationship with me?......" As one past participant put it:

"I discovered what has really been going on and how I haven't been able to see the hurtful stuff I've been repeating - I thought it was because of what she was doing!!"

It helps you to be more intentional about You! The past is creating your present. Childhood conditioning invisibly controls your life. We teach practical user-friendly life-skills to replace self-defeating behaviours and hurtful patterns of relating. It is a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of the interpretations and "the stories you make up" when you are in conflict.

From earliest childhood, our brains are actually formed and wired according to what is repeated in the environments around us. Whatever is repeated over and over and modeled to you becomes your perception of who you are and what you can expect from the world. Everyone needs to uncover what were the models of love that they were exposed to and influenced by.

What parts of you had to be hidden, or got lost, or were stolen, so that you could be accepted in the environments that were surrounding you as you were growing up? What is it like being around you when you are at "your worst"!......... What sort of "Darth Vader" or "wicked witch" do you turn into and why?.....

And remember we don't see these hidden parts of ourselves and they come out as your automatic default defense patterns when you are triggered and feel vulnerable. This work is a big key to unlocking much of the frustration and conflict and repeating patterns you find yourselves in....

There is value for everyone to participate in this transformational workshop. I often hear people talking about it as if it is just for SINGLES. What a loss to only see it in this way! We recommend this workshop as being for ALL INDIVIDUALS - whether you are SINGLE or PARTNERED

One woman who had previously attended the Couples Workshop with her partner attended the "Keeping" workshop with her mother and brother. One family of 5 did it together. There is so much healing and growth that can occur when attending with family members. There have been a few guys who were friends come together as well as a group of women. We encourage couples to see it as a perfect review and follow on to the Couple’s Workshop where either or both want to go deeper. We also promote it as a great place to start if your partner is not willing to do the work with you. I is also especially transformational for those separated or considering separating.

So come on your own .....or invite your spouse, partner, Mum, Dad, daughter, son, sister, brother - all your family, girl-friends, mates, or other important persons to join you. Share the experience and share the transformation. This will be a weekend you will remember fondly for a long time....

"What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function

of our beliefs about who we are." Anthony Robbins


PARTICIPANTS' comments:

Woman who had recently separated commented that she came feeling like she was falling apart and like she was all in pieces and at the end she said she felt like Wonder Woman...........;(Sophie, 34years old)


......a really safe environment and revealing processes......; (Chloe, 29yrs)


..so releasing and amazing.........;
(Adam, 33yrs)

“The work was remarkable – life-changing – because it gave me a way to find my way back to you – which is what I want because I want us to have the greatest marriage possible..............We needed some tools and we needed a guide. The steps that are laid out are very logical. I walk away very hopeful. I am inspired!"

(Matthew, 45yrs near break-up after he had affair who came with his wife of 20yrs )


A life-changing experience - it has given me new tools to change myself and my relationships for the better; ( Jessica, 54 yrs)


It's mind-blowing the parts of me that I have been denying......................and the patterns I have uncovered...; (Sam, 38yrs)


I now understand why my partner has been treating me the way he does;

(Angie, 48yrs)


I feel confident I know how to choose my next partner much more consciously...; (John, 49yrs)

I am on a disability pension and have had chronic pain for the last 14 yrs from accidents that occurred then, for which I have taken daily doses of morphine.

My biggest concern about attending the weekend was my ability to physically sustain myself through the two ten hour days.  I was astonished to realize on the Saturday night that I had been pain free throughout the day AND I had only taken half my usual medication dose and on Sunday I was only experiencing minimal discomfort.

I discovered the ways my physical illness is related to not being heard and having my needs met in childhood. I had an astonishing weekend of truly feeling heard, feeling safe and starting on a conscious journey towards developing healthy relationships with both others and myself.  The most amazing gift was experiencing the connection between being heard; validated, connecting with the unmet childhood needs and the power those unmet needs have on my whole being.  I’ve had a tangible lesson in transformational healing. (Elizabeth, 48yrs)


For a taster of the workshops we invite you to read the following Article from our ARTICLES & RESOURCES page making sure to do the EXERCISE at the end -

Who is My Perfect Partner – My "Imago Match?"


Why You CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER and What Your Marriage/Committed Relationship is Trying To Teach You...

You thought you chose your Beloved because they were soft, gentle, loving or maybe strong, dependable, intelligent or playful, handsome, free-spirited, spontaneous, generous, spiritual, good-looking, had a great body, sexy, beautiful…you know all those gorgeous qualities we place at the head of our lists if we are thinking about what to look for in our ideal partners.

But the part of our brain that comes up with all these wonderful qualities is unfortunately not the part of us that chooses our partners. There is a hidden reason you picked your partner and a hidden agenda in love relationships...(read more)

CHANGE is inevitable. GROWTH is optional.......
