Creative Codependence: Getting More Out of Life
Eight Hour Workshop or
Ninety Minute Presentation
Codependence can be described as attempting to secure safety, self worth and identity through others, but researchers find that it affects more than just interpersonal relationships. We can be codependent with our careers, mates, pets and even our hobbies. As Charles Whitfield, author of Codependence: Healing the Human Condition, states, codependence is “the addiction of looking elsewhere. We believe something outside of ourselves … can give us happiness and fulfillment.”
Creative Codependence™ explores the patterns developed in childhood that create adult codependent behaviours. Learn how to use these creative childhood tools to build support, trust and mutual respect in personal and professional adult relationships.
The Art of Interdependent Living: Mutuality, Respect and Self Leadership
Half Day Workshop
Interdependence is the opposite of codependence. Where being codependent is about relating to the “other” in the hopes of getting your needs met, interdependence is about relating to yourself in a healthy and respectful way that ultimately serves your community.
Through discussion, lecture and experiential exercises, explore the three concepts of Mutuality, Respect and Leadership so you can positively respond to the question:
Does this action, belief or thought serve me, serve the person I am relating to and serve my community in a healthy and respectful manner?
Awakening to Boundaries: Taking Care of Self
Half Day Workshop
· Do you constantly feel drained at the end of the day?
· Are you often negatively affected by other people’s lives & stories?
· Do you try to please others but end up feeling empty?
Healthy boundaries are the manifestation of a healthy care for self. With healthy boundaries we can respond to situations rather than react and we thrive in life rather than just survive.
This five hour workshop is an introduction to energetically sensing where we begin and where we end. We learn what balance means for us and how to return to balance when we are affected by another.
Through discussion, lecture and experiential exercises, discover how self awareness strengthens our ability to hold true to who we are for a healthier care of self.
The Essence of ARC: The Gateway to Empowered Practitionership
Two Day Workshop
· Is your therapeutic practice burning you out?
· Are you energetically exhausted at the end of the day?
· Do you want to do hands-on healing but fear taking on your client’s energy?
No matter what your therapeutic approach — body work, life coaching, nutrition or counselling — ARC enhances your skills as a practitioner.
ARC teaches that the best client care is in the hands of the practitioner’s ability to be present. Practitioner presence is essential for working with the subtleties inherent in any practitioner-client relationship. ARC’s unique approach enhances choice, self leadership, and authenticity both personally and professionally.
· Read unconscious body language; hear the story beneath the story
· Learn effective yet compassionate boundaries
· Practice energetic assessment and ARC’s unique approach to hands-on healing
· Earn CE Credits for CMTBC, MTAA, CCA, NHPC and Wild Rose College
Note: Some classes begin on Friday night and feature Equine Guided Development facilitator, Carla Webb, where you will be working directly with horses to support increased body and emotional awareness.
Authentic Relationships: An Exploration of Transference
Two Hour presentation
Transference is about relating to another as if they were someone from your past. Although it is part of the human condition it inhibits us from being authentic with others and, more importantly, our selves.
Through experiential self-reflection and discussion learn how to transform this every day human dynamic into a tool of self empowerment. |
