Workshop Schedule/Format:
WORKSHOP SCHEDULE/FORMAT:
Saturday: 9.00am - 7.30pm,
Sunday: 9.00am - 6.00pm
**Option of 8 week follow-on Seminar Series:
We very highly recommend everyone participating in some form of on-going work/support.
Along the lines of "it takes a village to raise a child" we believe it takes a community to hold/support relationships and that having an on-going relationship with others with similar concerns and values and a deep interest in creating conscious relationships greatly enhances growth and learning.
This follow-on series is designed to provide you with plenty of practice opportunities so that the tools become very well integrated into your life and family. Many have told us of their need to participate in some sort of on-going group. Attendance in this follow -on series is very highly recommended but not compulsory. We will tell you more of this on the weekend.
Follow-On Seminar Series:
For the first time, we are delighted to offer, a follow on seminar series to the "Born to Love" Parenting weekend workshop.
This eight week practical seminar series spread over 3 months, is designed to:
- empower and support you in successfully applying the newly acquired skills from the workshop in your family life
- search together for a mutually acceptable solution that will resolve the conflict in your family
- provide plenty of practice for you to be confident in applying problem solving skills with your children
Any new skill, either physical or mental, needs to be practiced. It is only practice that will make it perfect. Equally so, the pull to go back to your old patterns can be very strong. To prevent going back to the old ways of relating in your family and for the new skills to be fully implemented and integrated in your life, we are strongly encouraging you to avail yourself of the guidance and support of RANKA JOYCE, who is an accredited Parent Effectivness Training Facilitator and is currently training in Imago methodology and who will be assisting us on the weekend.
SESSION DATES: 6th,13th 27th September,18th, 25th October, 8th, 22nd November and 6th December.
TIME: 7-10pm
LOCATION: 22 Brix St, Wembley Downs
FEE: for the 8 week seminar series is $240 per person, $400 for couples and $180 for concession card holders.
