Re-Discovering Your True Self
Who Am I? What do I really want for this life? Are these questions you have asked yourself from time to time? Have you found the answer? Re-Discovering Your True Self is the first step in experiencing the real you, underneath the layers of emotions and preconceptions, thoughts, and memories that we have mistaken for who we really are. Through lecture, exercise, and meditation, we will begin our journey inside, to rediscover our true nature.
What Participants have said about this workshop...
“...This workshop reinforced my connection to my true self, which is that I am beauty. Not beauty in a vain, physical sense, but beauty in a deep, internal sense. Through this beauty, I can touch others and hopefully bring out their true inner beauty as well.”
“...I feel a great sense of peace and joy and oneness with everyone.”
“...part of me knew what I wanted out of life. At times I was able to briefly experience it but after today, I could actually “see” the word ‘happiness’.”
“...I learned that my heart and soul should be my best friends and I’ve neglected both. The answers are inside me- not through others or the outside.”
“…It doesn't matter where you are on your journey, you will find this workshop helpful and healing. Rediscovering who I am based on my past experiences, my relationship with my parents, and my relationship with myself was healing. I appreciate that David created a safe space where we feel comfortable sharing, laughing, and crying.”
Managing Stress in the modern world
Stress has become an epidemic in our culture. Experiencing constant stress has been proven to cause physical and emotional illness as well as a more negative worldview. In this workshop, we will explore where your stress is coming from, how it is affecting you as well as others, how to become aware of the stress you hold, and how to release it. Through lecture and relaxation techniques centered on meditation and movement, you can begin to release your stress and shift your focus inward to a more peaceful and joyous place. Leave with tools to continue your practice at home. This course is for everyone.

How Well Do You Listen?
Our brains are so busy! Work, cell phones, computers, and TV keep them humming all day long. When you are conversing with someone, are you really listening or is your mind wandering off? Maybe you’re already thinking of a response before someone finishes talking. How about listening to yourself? Can you hear your inner voice or are your thoughts and emotions dominating your every moment? In this workshop, we will bring awareness to this issue and practice some ways to better listen to others by connecting to ourselves
What Participants have said about this workshop...
“The class was an excellent reminder of the benefits of good listening. David facilitated a process of identifying how we don't listen well. I realized multi-tasking is an issue for me - it keeps me distracted.”
“I learned that I have to intentionally make myself present to listen and hear people. And that there are things I can do before I listen, or even as part of my day-to-day (chi gong, centering breathing) that will make me a better listener.”
