Living Inside Out - On Purpose

Most people, much of the time live outside in by accident. Their sense of self, their mood and state of mind depends on what is going on outside themselves, rather than paying attention to their frame of mind, their state of being, and their ability to make different choices in the moment. A smile a frown, regrets about the past, worries about the future are seen as the ‘cause’ and our reactions – fear, sadness, joy, frustration, confidence – are experienced merely as ‘effect’. 

This often results in Victim Consciousness because, when we live ‘at effect’ we usually don’t feel able to take responsibility for our day to day lives. When we keep blaming others for our mistakes, we are less likely to learn either from the mistakes of from other people.

Developing Emotional Intelligence helps us to let go of the old habit of blame and shame, a childhood legacy, and to recognise and resolve old patterns that do not serve us well. This non-residential weekend workshop will help and encourage you to learn from the past, act in the present and prepare for change in the future.

A Five Stage Journey of Self Discovery:

Giving Up Hoping for a Better Past: Deciding to let go of those who’ve hurt us so that we can shape our future with energy and focus. The essence of forgiveness is a commitment to Self.

Celebrating the Past: our past is not our potential! Recognising the lessons we have learnt along the way and celebrating our strengths, insights and inspirations makes us more resourceful.

Emotional Intelligence: the script we act out, the ‘programs’ we run, the patterns that keep us stuck can reduce self-management so that we put all our energy into trying to change others rather than change ourselves. This meditation will help you to reconnect with the essence of who you are.

Intimate Distance: knowing how to be close without fearing engulfment, and how to maintain appropriate distance without becoming aloof and alone. We are in this world together

Staying On Purpose!  OK! You’ve taken the steps, done the workshop, so what next? How will you apply and maintain the principles in Real Life? You will learn how to seek and to create elegant solutions for the many challenges that you will inevitably face on your journey!

This is a non-residential weekend workshop.
