Take back your life. Addiction is the ailment of modernity, it subtly and grossly controls us. Codepencence and Addiction needs to be addressed for us to be free personally, culturally and spiritually. In this course you will learn skills which can be used both in organizational consulting and in personal and interpersonal dynamics where codependent and addictive patterns are truly rife. Addiction is often at the heart of Relationship difficulties with ourselves and others.. We feel frustrated, stuck, confused and impotent. We find ourselves in familiar repetitive dysfunctional patterns, (fight 203, 406,). Feeling either inflated,worthless or trapped. We will work with:
You will learn How to:
You will leave with practical and dynamic tools to begin creating something different as your life. . Jesse says, "Working with my own child abuse in a Co-dependent / Addiction framework has made everything so clear. I can see the effects of this abuse, yet it no longer wholeheartedly dominates me. I am no longer its puppet. The multi-generational abuse stops here, right now with me. We have to take a stand and Stop Passing it on".
In this group we will get our history under our feet and come out standing on sure ground. We will work with:
This is a very powerful cleansing group often expelling soul wounding. You were born worthy and precious. This is usually a long weekend or a week long group.
In this group we will explore our conditioning around work and money. Looking at the multi generational impact as well as our beliefs and history. What I want to touch are some of the invisible ceilings and patterning in our lives around this volatile topic. This will be an experiential undertaking. November, 2008 Bali
Each morning will commence with meditation in the midst of a cacophony of natural sounds, the hall is actually in the jungle. Your accommodation and meals are wonderful. I also suggest a daily massage either at Ananda’s fabulous spa, or with a local medicine woman, who practices in an isolated outside environment.
Our
starting point will be the body.
You will find yourself waking up in a deep unfolding safe space with sounds and textures all around you.
Each day is structured and includes a practice of : feeling, sensing and embodying yourself. travelling into aspects of yourself and opening the body and senses.
Courses of Varying lengths, see events for details Transpersonal Energetics Some Notes from 2006 Bali retreat Inspiration 2006 I want to speak about
the difference between being and fixing.
It may look like I’m going for change when I’m working but mostly
I’m not. I’m really deeply listening to what is there and giving it some
room. The little voice of the non habitual frame. Or even sitting in the
habitual frame consciously. Both of these wake us up and free us up to truly
make decisions. When I’m asking you to try on different languaging
and see how it feels and if it feels more true or a larger deeper
true for you, this is what I’m asking you to do. When we’re working like
this it’s like we are directly in connection with a space bigger than us
both and is very humbling. For example on of my clients spends a lot of time
in “pathetic” which is very painful for her and often when she comes out
of this she comes into “angry” which is very hard on those who love her.
Both states are well defined habits and when you feel them psychically they
are gluggy. After deeply listening and feeling into her, I told her
indignant was missing. It was like there was no development of indignant, it
was an infant. She found it and loved it and glowed in it. Here is where I
feel so humble. It was as if she had been looking for it her entire life. It
gave her so much mobility. So when her husband was flirting with a woman
instead of going down in pathetic for days only into righteous anger later,
she could say in indignation, “hey hon, come here your with me”, or some
such clear statement that gave her so much sense of herself and him so much
relief. You can’t do this from reading a how to book, we are not clay to
mold. It comes from a deep respect for the individuals life process and a
paying attention to what is there or wants to emerge. When we have some idea
and try to change ourselves into it we are arrogant. How do we really know
this is better, who said? We are in the realms of codependence and fixing, a
dangerous and slippery territory which is ego based and often ridged with no
life breath in it or organic movement, no unknown, no movement with god. Some of you may think
one state is better than another. That’s not what my work is about. One
state may be more comfortable than another but what we are after is being
with ourselves or another no matter what state they or we are in. The
important bit isn’t what state but our consciousness in that state. Some
people think if your life is together that is better than if you are being
challenged or sick. This is just not true. It is about how we are when we
are in our life. How are we picking the lemons. Of course if we are in the
unknown and interconnected in ground of being we will automatically want to
go for the creative life force of following our impulses. This does not mean
we will be happy or together we may be in tremendous pain. Sometimes john de
ruiter says will you pick truth even if it is hell. Such an arrogant
patronizing idea, to think we know the picture for ourselves or others and
that we need will to force ourselves or others into some picture that we
have made up as good or right. The feeling of it is so different than the deep respect for isness and from there to be with it and listen deeply. This happened for us in bali. We saw that no matter what space we were in we could still be in a vortex. It wasn’t about the what we were doing or feeling. But our commitment to holding the space of consciousness for ourselves and each other, we could feel it immediately when we were not, everything was more addict or flat. Gerry expressed it so well, he said, and I’m paraphrasing here, “ I think I want to kick back and be lazy and have a holiday but what I really want is to hold the space and be alive and present and meet life and all of you as it is, not to try to change it or avoid it but to meet it.” In bali this was our theme and it was truly remarkable. So respectful, so confronting, so alive, so ecstatic, so loving, so holding. The work is to keep watering this place and acknowledging it between us. It is not to be some idea of perfection. Feel it, too brittle. Love to you all, jesse |
