What will the Loving Me, Loving You workshop bring into your life?

Participating in this workshop will open your eyes to many simple, yet profound, methods for increasing the love, harmony and happiness in your life. We are social creatures by nature and our relationship to ourselves is the foundation that stems outward into all of our interactions in daily life.

Ideally, we are able to live life as a whole person, who feels secure in our choices, needs and personality. However, most of us have had experiences in our lives that have broken trust, or made it difficult for us to be fully self-expressed.

Most of the time people begin relationships with love, but struggle to communicate and live in such a way that their love stays strong. When one or more people don’t feel whole, a relationship is turned into hard work.

Consider the metaphor of a lighthouse for clear communication. At the beginning stages of a relationship, our lighthouses (or inner-selves) shine brightly. Each person is able to fully see and appreciate the gifts the other person offers as they beam love outwards. As time goes on, and break-down occurs, relationship “muck” gets smeared onto the windowpanes of the relationship. This makes it tough for the light to shine through.

If we do not pro-actively “clean-up” and repair misunderstandings, miscommunications, differences of needs or opinions… over time our ability to see our partner’s light dims, as it is covered up by “everything that got in the way.”

This workshop will help shine light on the places that need your attention. It will offer you unique and impactful experiences that will open your heart and bring love back in.

Have you ever come away from a workshop thinking that you got the key ideas and the magnitude of the transformative experience while at the workshop, but then struggled to apply what you learned in your daily life? Developing any new skill takes time and practice – which is why we’re offering this program to ensure that you have someone to walk beside you as you continue to grow and develop yourself.

The evening sessions are designed to accelerate, refine, and reinforce your understanding and experience of the concepts offered in our workshops. At each weekly meeting, you will receive coaching, share your insights with others, and gain confidence in what you have learned.

We look forward to welcoming you to an experience that will sharpen your skills and enrich your relationships with love, clarity, and connection. That which you integrate can be yours for life.
