    OpeningToLove PersonalGrowth OPENING TO LOVE:  DEEPENING THE CONSCIOUS SELF.   A personal growth workshop for individuals, including singles and couples. This workshop, an introspective exploration into  self awareness, is for those individuals and couples committed to a fulfilling and satisfying adult relationship and an understanding of self-sabotaging behaviors that prevent the genuine intimacy that all individuals seek. Whereas our Couples' workshops focus on the space between the partners, this workshop focuses on the individual taking responsibility for his/her role in relationship.
    A key focus in this workshop is facing and overcoming childhood patterns created to defend against or manage accumulated pain.  The workshop explores limiting belief systems and abusive experiences from
    childhood and/or your culture that constrain pleasure and intimacy.  You will have an opportunity to create a vision of your life for a present and/or future relationship and take away a renewed sense of empowerment.
