New Group Starting

What is it I want and how do I get there? This group will help you take a look at your dreams, ambitions, desires and figure out what is blocking your progress in obtaining them, whether it be anxiety, depression, or that old victim mentality that keeps you hostage. Come prepared to do experiential process work to take a look at how you are stuck and how to become mobilized out of past trauma, pain, or disappointment.
WHEN: September 16, 2009 thru November 11, 2009

TIME: 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

COST: $295.00 for ALL eight weeks
with early registration NOW!


Dreaming: In free association, this word brings up several associations, such as, night time dreams, daydreaming, foolish, fantasy, likes, wishes, wants, desires and a myriad of other possibilities. What words come to your mind? In this, short point of view , I am speaking of dreaming as those heart desires that have floated in and out of your consciousness on a fairly regular basis throughout all the years of your life. What happened to them? Where did they go? Are you living them?
Living our dreams and getting more out of our daily life is the focus of the Wednesday Evening Group that starts on September 16th followed by Wednesday the 23,30;October 7, 21,28 and November 4,11. Eight fabulous nights spent working on you, your dreams, and releasing the old belief systems that keep you locked into old systems of negativity, deprivation, and your addiction to unhappiness. You are not bad for having those negative, deprived, addictive thoughts and behaviors. You have accumulated them over your life time through events and circumstances that have warped your view of your life. It is a common thing that happens to all of us. We live in a fantasy society that says you can have everything you want when you want it. If you don’t have it, then there is something wrong with you! That simply is not true! Here are some truths we are going to be looking in the eye.
Life is hard
You Don’t Get Everything You want when you want it
You will be pushed to your limits
Nothing happens for us by sitting back and wishing

So here is the game plan:
What are your priorities?
What is important to you now?
What is it that makes those things important?
Is it important enough to die for?
No, then why is it important to you? Also, if it is not worth dying for, then what will your daily life be like if you don’t go for it?
Is it important to give up something?
No, then you are beginning to limit your options
Is it important enough to change?
No, then maybe you want to choose a different dream or work on your addiction to unhappiness. There are no wrong choices, just an awareness of the choices that you are making and how they are or are not working for you.
Now, if you have answered yes to at least two of the three above questions then you will benefit from this workshop!
Get that dream out there. What is it? What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it smell like? What does it taste like? What texture is it? In order to create the dream into a reality we must define it as clearly as possible. It can be abstract but the abstract must look like a Picasso. It has to have some definition or we won’t be able to recognize it when we get there. Each night will close with a guided imagery for you to work with the following week.
Night One: Exploring your beliefs/thoughts.
Night Two: Recreating Messages from the past
Night Three: Staring the dragon down
Night Four: What hurts are bubbling up below your consciousness? Let’s identify them and attend to them...
Night Five: What actions are you now taking that you would not have taken before? How can you make those actions more concrete?
Night Six: Celebrate your success
Night Seven: Re-examining and Re-focusing
Night Eight: Action Plan for the next six months.
