Description:
TUE A Taste of Compassionate Connecting: getting to know each other, experiencing our life energy in a group--what's alive in you and me--we get to feel the power of being known and experience a sense of connection and belonging.
WED Awareness: acknowledging our observations/judgments, feelings, needs and requests (OFNR). We get to focus our conscious awareness in the directions that we choose. By getting clear on OFNR, we develop competence to begin a journey into greater depths of our being.
THU Presence through Self-Empathy: several processes are introduced to help us to become consciously aware of our judgments, observations and the life energy within us. Through these processes, participants will gain valuable tools for self-connection, resulting in feelings of natural compassion, inner-peace and harmony.
FRI The Flow of Empathy: after we are self-connected, we now have some free energy to offer our presence and respectful listening to others. We aren't there to fix people, but to help them get clear with their own life energy. In this session, participants will gain practical knowledge of what is empathy and what is not--and will have opportunities to practice and get feedback.
SAT Spaceless-Timeless Presence of Empathetic Role Play: empathetic listening can help us to get clear with our pain relating to people who are not physically present. They may have passed on from this life, and we may have some unresolved hurts with them or others. The facilitator demonstrates the power of role plays with participant issues by taking on the spirit of their higher selves--in Christ consciousness.
