AWAKEN CONNECTION - AUGUST 2 – 4, 2013 AT HARBIN HOTSPRINGS

Close your eyes…  Let your imagination wander…


If anything were possible, how would you want your relationship to look?
Would it include a connection that makes you feel more alive? More vibrant? Would it be loving? Would it feel warmer? Safer? More enlivening, fun, sexy, romantic? Would you flirt with each other? Would it feel more vital, more playful?
All of the above?
Relationships are hard. Sometimes he says that thing that makes you cringe and you feel your armor begin to harden. Your belly tightens with resentment when she belittles you. You notice it’s difficult to look at what’s not working, to see the truth of how you don’t connect. You’re on an emotional roller-coaster at times and it feels disheartening. Scary. You know you want to be closer, to feel warm, safe, and sexy, but you find yourself turning away because it’s easier than facing the heartache one more time.
You wonder… “When did our relationship get so hard? Why is it so much work?” Sometimes you can feel so alone, even when your partner is sitting next to you on the couch. Sometimes you want to run screaming, or simply disappear. You’re afraid to bring up certain subjects, like paying the bills or visiting your family for the holidays, because you don’t want to have that same old argument again. Sometimes your relationship feels OK, but it’s stuck, flat, boring, like you’ve moved from being lovers and sweethearts to just friends, or roommates.
It’s OK to acknowledge that it’s challenging, that it’s not always the way you want it to be.

This is the beginning of everything getting better.


We are here to help. We will teach you how to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be and how to open your heart to feel the warm, loving connection with your partner that you crave. The kind of connection where your mind relaxes and your body says YES!


In this workshop, you will learn:


To be your most authentic self with your partner in ways that make you feel more awake, more alive, and excited to spend time together.
How to choose connection, even in moments of conflict.
To create deeply authentic communication, so you can both stop guessing and start getting each other.
To make difficult conversations easier and more productive, so arguments no longer pull you apart.
To feel safe sharing your deepest self so you feel seen, heard, and appreciated.
To notice where your heart and your body open, close, and open again, and how to use this heart “breathing” to strengthen your bond, so you can relax, and enjoy being together.
To bring more ease to your relationship, more light-hearted fun, and more sexiness.

Join us for an amazing weekend in a beautiful location, during which you will learn to consciously choose the flavor and quality of your connection. Show up just as you are and we will go deep, engage, and have fun!

Five gifted and dedicated counselors, coaches and course leaders, will harness their extensive talents and energy to help you bring alive elements of the relationship you desire: intimacy, connection, presence, communication, heart-opening sensuality.


Join us as we help you:


Build the vibrant relationship you’ve always wanted.
Unlock your sexual energy and go from partner to lover.
Turn conflict into connection.
Melt the barriers that keep you from the love and connection you desire.
Dissolve shame and fear and open your hearts to one another.
Create the spark that will light a fire in your relationship.
Generate the deepest intimacy you can imagine.


How do you know if this workshop is right for you?


This retreat is for anyone in a romantic relationship who wants more meaningful connection, deeper intimacy, and more ease and fun. What doesn't matter is your sexual orientation or the length of time you have been together. All that matters is that you want to be closer and more in love with your partner.



High Quality Networking

The heart & soul of great marketing for service entrepreneurs is a solid connection. If selling is about selling yourself, then what better place to be selling than where you are at your best?

Look for events where people will be playing full out. Where people are exploring new ways to lead and counsel, learning new dance forms, and where they are taking control of their relationship to their own bodies ~ that's way more interesting than golf, in my opinion.

The creators of these events are teaching us new ways to connect to our clients, our communities, and our families. They are cultural leaders who are inventing new ways to relate and connect. How cool is that?

If you want to do business with this kind of people ~the leaders and the explores, people who intentionally go out on weeknights to relate powerfully, find where they like to play and hang out with them. It's good business.

Open Here Yoga Retreat Testimonial Video

The participants of the Open Here Yoga Retreat talk about what they got from their retreat experience. They LOVED it!

Productivity 2.0 Means...

www.zenhabits.com has boiled down some of the best principals for reframing the way you work. It's all about working smarter rather than harder. That sounds easy in principal, but application requires commitment and being accountable.


1. Don’t Crank - Work With Deeper Focus.

Old School: Crank It Out. The old school of productivity taught us how to crank out the tasks. Each task is a widget that needs to be cranked, and the more we crank out, the better. Speed is important, and cranking out more tasks is the ultimate criteria. How many tasks can you finish in a day?

Productivity 2.0: Deep Focus. The new worker isn’t as obsessed with speed. He allows himself to slow down and work at a more leisurely pace. He clears away distractions and allows himself to focus on the task at hand. He gets passionate about important and exciting tasks and gets into Flow. This allows for a new kind of productivity — one where quality matters, where amazing things are produced at an intense rate, where there is a passion and satisfaction in completing a task.[more]

Transformational Yoga Retreat

OPEN HERE
2008 October 23-26
Expose yourself to your own divinity
Connect with your heart's essence during this four day yoga retreat at the Blue Pearl Temple in Sebastopol, CA. You will be guided through Anusara-Inspired® Yoga and Transformational Circling enabling you to...

Discover, accept, and love yourself more fully
Clarify your path through your yoga practice
Create powerful support for yourself in your relationships and your community

The Open Here Yoga Retreat is designed to connect you more deeply to your heart's essence, your chosen path, and your community by awakening your spiritual growth through Anusara-Inspired® yoga and transformational circling. At the Open Here retreat, you will practice yoga to open your physical form, and move through experiential exercises to help release any blocks to your heart, leaving you in a clear and present space to create your life as an expression of who you truly are. Circling is a practice that gives a person the opportunity to be seen by their community and supported in that space completely. You will be the center of the circle for long enough to feel deeply seen, held to your highest standard and totally loved.

This retreat will bring you home to your body and create breakthroughs in relationships, career and personal expression. You will be nourished by organic food in an exquisite location on a wooded two acre private property. You will enjoy this retreat if you are looking to discover the power within yourself and you want to relate to people in a way that is deeply fulfilling and authentic.

OPEN HERE: Day by Day

Thursday: Experience Circling firsthand and reinvigorate your yoga practice...

Learn concepts and distinctions for overcoming fears holding you back from your desires
Connect to the group, witness and share while exploring self-limiting beliefs
90 minutes of Breathwork followed by Circling

Together, we will lay the context of community, transformation and yogic philosophy. It will be a day of learning and discovery. Participants will connect to each other, sharing personally where they have been stopped in the past and what breakthroughs they desire from the course. You will discover the line that holds you within your perceived limitations. This same line exists whether exploring physical limits, emotional expression, or exploring the boundary of what is possible in your life. Discover that line, learn how to talk about it, how to be with it when it shows up, and how to hold it... rather than having it hold you.


Friday and Saturday: Go Deeper into Yourself, Yoga and Circling...

Get control back from the voice sourcing old patterns
Learn how to acknowledge and have compassion for that voice
Explore underlying needs and how to fulfill them consciously on your own terms


Friday and Saturday we will go deep, both on the mat and in Circling. You will connect to others in the group, witnessing and encouraging one another as each person shares the fears and desires held in their hearts. What makes this work possible is the power of Reflective Circling. You will have the opportunity to see yourself through the loving eyes of your community. This process will give you fresh insights that could otherwise take years to learn. People who have experienced Circling have changed career paths, created new relationships, and perhaps most importantly, changed their relationship to themselves powerfully and completely.

We have scheduled 90 minute Circles for each participant, and made room for one-on-one coaching to be available during breaks.


Sunday: A Day of Creation, Celebration and Belonging

Create a personal clearing and manifestation ritual
Express your desires through art and dance
Be acknowledged by your community

You will experience a day of powerful integration, taking what you have learned and bringing it into physical form so that your breakthroughs will be manifested in the rest of your life. We will each create a personal ritual, as well as express and celebrate through art and dance. Everyone will have the opportunity to create a plan that will act as a road map in reaching their goals. Leaders and participants will gather together to share acknowledgments. Much celebrating, feasting and dancing will be had by all.

Come join us this October for a life changing experience.
