INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: BREAKDOWN OR BREAKTHROUGH?

"Love is a many splendored thing,” so the aphorism goes. Maybe they didn’t tell you that Love is also karmic-laden, multi-faceted, and that it gives you a full run from the agony to the ecstasy leaving you totally befogged or exasperated!

Probably there is no time in modern history when our preconceived notions of love and relationships are so severely challenged. All the old modules based on our upbringing are dredged up for microscopic scrutiny. Were your beliefs on love, marriage and family built around Hollywood movies, MTV, classical literature, or your parents’ marriage? Whatever those preconceived notions are, you might find that they don’t work any more. Just as the yin and yang of the Universe are re-aligning, so too, masculine and feminine forces on the earth realm are re-integrating. Men and women are going through a dramatic re-thinking and re-defining of their roles and values. What each partner is bringing to the table, and ultimately—what is the meaning behind relationships? However, with the breakdown of old modules, there is hope for a genuine breakthrough!

In this workshop, we will re-examine our limiting beliefs on intimate relationships. This will shed light on some of our dysfunctional relationships—unhealthy bonding, co-dependency, emotional/physical abuse, love/sex addictions, love-hate emotions and everything in between. We will explore the seeds beneath intimate intimidation, mutual manipulation and deception, that is more common between couples than we’d like to admit. Through the power of meditation, autosuggestion, role-playing and imaging, we will try to re-create new and healthy “love programs” for our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. We will get in touch with our vulnerability, and our integrity. There is nothing more powerful than intimate relationships that enhance our growth. That is why they are called the “royal road to spiritual maturity.”
