A Workshop for Therapists and Other Helping Professionals

Saturday, November 5, 10am–6pm & Sunday, November 6, 10:30am–5:30pm

Special rate for interns.
In Berkeley, just off the I-80
13 CEUs for MFTs and LCSWs (PCE #4456)
Class size is limited.
When clients get stuck in shame, the most powerful way to help them get unstuck may be to activate their imagination. In the Imaginal Realm, logic and time are fluid and flexible. What actually happened can be explored and changed. What was stuck in the cognitive realm can be reexamined and shifted. Shaming situations from the past can be revisited and resolved. In this workshop, we will utilize techniques from Drama Therapy, Focusing, Expressive Arts Therapy, Jungian creative imagination and Hakomi. We will explore the critical voices and/or the childhood scenes that are still driving the internal shame dynamic in the client. Once the shame is worked through in the Imaginal Realm the client can interact with the world differently.

The Flower of Life Workshop

147_4740

The Flower of Life Workshop on October 7, 2016 in Sonoma, CA : Pause with me, take a deep breath. Can you feel it? It's your heart. It's more than an organ that pumps life giving blood to your body. This, your spi ritual heart is what can guide you to your greatest destiny. Your spiritual heart longs to guide you towards integration and the embodiment of your Higher Self. It wants to steer you away from chaos and turmoil. It creates intimacy and love and respect and kindness and compassion. And perhaps most important of all, it whispers to you in those quiet, still moments, and gently asks “Are you living your Sacred Purpose?”
Your Sacred Purpose is the reason you chose to come here in this lifetime. It's the heart and soul of your very existence. It guides you to the most evolved version of yourself: the real you, down to your core. Fully embodying your Sacred Purpose isn't a decision, it's a journey. One that I call The Path of the Higher Self.
In the workshop we will explore special ways of opening the heart to reawaken compassion, unconditional love, and inner harmony so that you can have a direct experience of the Oneness while learning to activate your MerKaBa. My Flower of Life workshops are experiential, while still giving the necessary "left brain" information required for a full understanding of the course material.
Most participants leave with a transformed sense of themselves unlike anything they have ever experienced. They have a clear sense of their true nature, their purpose, and why they choose to incarnate on this planet at this time.
The ascension process is accelerated through the remembrance of the MerKaBa, a crystalline energy field in a specific geometric structure extending around the body for 55 feet.
In the ...read more

The Gift of the Equinox

The Gift of the Equinox on September 22, 2016 in Petaluma, CA : Why take the time to do this Equinox Ceremony?
FRANCIS RICO: We've all become increasingly anxious and concerned about the destructive insanity at wo rk in our world.
And we've been asking ourselves, “What can I do?”
Our Equinox Ceremony is a celebration of an answer to this question. This answer arrives as a profound gift direct from the heart of Creation - to our gathering on Thursday September 22, the evening of the 2016 Fall Equinox.
We'll prepare to open our hearts, our eyes, and our minds with the support of ancient practices that generate true connection with the deep flow of life affirming love and sparkling intelligence that is being offered to us!
This gift of the Equinox is an inevitability of our Cosmos – the gift is coming to us in the same way that the early morning sky lights up well before dawn – showing us with great clarity that there is a way to live with love, and without fear.
What's involved in a shamanic ceremony?
In the old wisdom traditions, what we call balance, and see as something precarious and very easily upset, was understood to be harmony.
But to hear life's harmony takes listening with a level of sensitivity that requires dedication and practice.
For example, a meditation practice based on following your breath – listening to the in-breath bringing inspiration, and hearing the out-breath giving expression.
Our focus on external events, and what we can do about the continuing not-so-slow-motion train wreck of progressive life extinction on our planet, is a continual out-breath – an ongoing expression of our outrage, distress, concern, and alarm.
Knowing this brings a new light to what this coming Equinox makes possible. It is ...read more
