Couples Mini-Workshop: How to Enhance Joy in Relationships

Thursday July 29, 2010. 7.00pm-10.00am: Mini-workshop for couples. (Limited to 6 couples only)

In this 3-hour workshop we will:

1. Expose the usual “aliens”, rooted in our ego, that alienate partners from each other. We will see how our "filters" manipulate us...

2. Discuss and experiment ways to enhance joy and connection in relationship

Couples can be reassured that they will be able to keep their privacy as much as they need.

Return to BEING Workshop 1 Details

It is in your BEING, more than in your DOING or your HAVING, that your authentic happiness can be found and expressed.

It is your BEING that determines the HOW you do what you do: the way you parent your child, the way you relate to others, the way you perform at work and even your health and vitality.

In the core of BEING you are not as separated, fragmented and fragile as your protected EGO would make you believe. In the core of BEING you are connected to that one universal energy we are all part of.

In your BEING life holds for you the natural resources of love, joy and hope for coping successfully with challenges. Your sadness, anger and fear dissolve naturally and effortlessly once you reconnect to the abundance of these resources.

You were born into this life with this abundance and this is where you want to return to.

The purpose of this extended workshop program is to provide you with knowledge and tools that might help you realise the abundance that exist in your core BEING.

This abundance consists of your virtues, strengths and values. Hagai calls them 'Seeds of Happiness' and during the course we will cultivate them. We will particularly focus on the following seeds:

• self-awareness
• self-acceptance
• courage
• wisdom
• optimism.

Hagai Avisor is a highly skilled counsellorand psychologist who combines therapy with insightful and compassionate coaching.

His warm and genuine style will help you feel safe and accepted. You will find him supportive, caring and inspiring as well as challenging, and with a good dose of humour and light-heartedness.

• Realising awareness-- who is the real you and who is not
• Realising authentic power -- to live life by your core values

You will be studying ideas and experiencing them through exercises in pairs, in small groups or by yourself. What we want to learn is what we can fulfill NOW.

What Can You Expect to Get Out of this Workshop?

• Expanded awareness of what is the real you and what is not.
• Different eyes through which you look at your long standing issues and at your future.
• Tools to cultivate your seeds of happiness.

What to Bring?

Make sure you take the longer version of 240 items. You may also want to bring the "aliens" -- those debilitating thoughts that alienate you from now -- and we will take good care of them.

Realizing Abundance Workshop 2 Details

In this follow-on program, we will focus on Abundance (the third component of the Return to Being program).

Abundance is made up of the boundless emotional and spiritual resources that exist in each of us, in our core being, in awareness -- the realm of infinite possibilities.

To realize abundance is to experience down to earth spirituality. To live spiritually is to lead a life of profound connection to people and nature. It is to fulfill the strengths within our heart: connection, faith, courage, compassion, hope, joy, gratitude and more.

Abundance speaks the language of LOVE. When operating from core being, one's life is led by aware choices not by protected ego, by future vision not conditioned past, by values - not pains.

In this workshop, we will learn how modern science in physics, neuroscience and psychology come together to show us the path.

During the workshop, we will have a special focus on courage and connection as essential components of the spiritual journey. I regard these two particular virtues as the ones with the ultimate power for healing and growth as they contrast ego’s two most debilitating forces: fears and sense of separation.

We will also practice more awareness and mindfulness to further disarm our usual barrier, ego, that stops us from living life of abundance. Ultimately, abundance will show in how constructively we work with our vulnerabilities.

Continuing our metaphor of gardening, participants should expect to further cultivate “seeds of happiness”, deepen insights, be inspired and acquire tools for their ongoing ‘inner gardening.’

How It Works

We humbly hold the belief that this unique program has great potential to significantly impact you through its content, its process and its structure.

Content -- The program goes straight to the core of your identity: Who you are and who you are not. What forces are stopping you now from being the whole you, and how to free yourself from them to live a life of purpose and joy.

Metaphorically, you start with the "EXODOS" and then journey towards your "PROMISED LAND". In the program you will learn to use your mind, not as a master but as a vehicle to take you back to your BEING. The program is based on utilising two powers of the mind: Attention and Intention.

Attention -- Wherever your attention goes there you are. Attention is where you invest your psychic energy. Your ultimate personal power is in your freedom to choose where your attention goes. You will learn to direct it towards your life goals.

Intention -- This is the projection of attention into the future of your choosing. The power of intention is in guiding you towards the life of your choice. You will learn to intentionally nurture your seeds of happiness.

Process -- Your learning will involve both conceptual and experiential learning. Your mind will inquire and digest the ideas through listening, watching videos, reading and discussion. Your heart will be touched and inspired by experiences such as sharing, modelling, relating with love, creative expression, guided meditation, practicing virtues and more. You will learn new ideas and address personal issues in an environment which is unconditionally accepting, supportive and caring. We strive to create the kind of "nursery" in which your seeds of happiness can emerge.

Structure -- The seminar has been structured to allow enough time to create momentum for learning, practicing and€ growing!! It also creates the right social context, a group, in which you can practice what you learn.
