The First Gateway
The Second Gateway
The 2ns Gateway focuses on looking into the mirror of yourself and healing the wounds that limit you. We will look at behaviors that either deepen or bust connection with other, with a focus on defensive behaviors like denial and projection. We will explore how your body speaks to you and how wall you do (or do not) listen when it speaks. You will lean how to transform limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs about yourself. And we will take a close look at ny wends you may still be carrying from yuorchildhood.
The Third Gateway
This workshop is all about skill building. You will lean how to listen deeply, to replace critical judgment with compassionate curiosity, how to spot and change the unconscious patterns in your life that cause you problems.
You will also develop a clear sends of your values and how they show up (or don’t show up) in your life. You will explore accountability and integrity, yuor personal mission, vision and purpose.
You will learn how to ground yourself nd be less reactive and more stable in your relationships with others. And you will learn the simple tricks creating connection with others.
The 4th Gateway: Actualization
Do you have a driving passion about something you want to create? Imagine what it took to create Mount Rushmore? This was created becuse and by one man had a vision that he felt a driving need to creae.
