What is the workshop about?

In this first module we will begin with an introduction to the Living Essence series. The first day will be an orientation to the Essence Series – learning some of the concepts and methodology that underpins this approach to self-discovery. We will also introduce the process of inquiry and the Inner Critic.

We will then spend the next 4 days with the quality of Grounded Confidence, and Courageous Strength.

When we connect with the capacity of a steady ground of Confidence we don’t need to prove ourselves. We don’t need to effort to make our way through life – we simply are, and that is enough. We will discover that the deepest confidence was never about achievement, but simply about being here. Here we feel an inner support, an essential will, that enables us to fully stand in our own lives. You could say it’s like “living your life as if you are sitting at home on your sofa” – at ease, at home in yourself.

Together we will deepen our connection to this grounded quality and look at some of the issues that can block the connection, such as using our false will by pushing, struggling, performing and holding on.

Then we come to connect to courageous strength. This is where we experience aliveness, warmth and the courage to be fully here in every moment. We feel the fire of life and find the ability to say yes and to say no with equal clarity. From here we can face difficult situations without fear, and dare to take new steps in life.

Here too we will look at some of the issues that can be in the way of being fully alive, like the fear of being alone if we stand up for ourselves. We will take time for integration and to explore how you can stay connected with self-confidence and courage in your daily life.

The days will include: Meditation, expression, movement, visualization, inquiry and open process.

There will be space for everyone’s individual process, supported by the field of fellow travelers.

In this process you will learn to:

  • Be self-assured and grounded while remaining open and curious
  • Bring more aliveness into everyday activities and relationships
  • Trust in your own wisdom
  • Discover a powerful methodology for inner transformation
  • Dare to speak your truth and set boundaries when necessary
  • Learn inquiry to use as a tool in your daily life
  • Combine traditional psychology with spiritual understanding
