"Why Are Relationships So Fundamental To Health and Well Being?"
Saturday, February 4, 2012
3:00pm - 5:00pm
$45 plus hst
We all know how we can break each other’s heart, wrench each other’s guts, mess with each other’s heads and
bliss each other’s souls through relationships. Why is that so? Because our brain is first and foremost a relational organ. It
connects our inner experiences with the external world of people and objects. When you know how your brain and your
body affect other people’s brains and bodies and vice versa, you become profoundly empowered to improve or change
your relationships to ensure success and wellbeing.
"Experience and Memory - How Not to Confuse Your Partner With Your Parents"
Saturday, March 3, 2012
3:00pm - 5:00pm
$45 plus hst
Your spouse politely asks you to please pick-up your socks from the floor and put them in the dresser, and a
major marital crisis ensues. Does this sound familiar? ‘Something stupid’ causes major relational earthquakes, and we
have no clue why.
Embedded in our relationships there lies an invisible shadow from the past. All life experiences from the time we
were in our mother’s wombs have deeply shaped the way our brain cells connect with each other and fire. This prewiring
determines how successfully we relate to our loved ones – our partners and our children. In our interactions with our
loved ones we can be convinced that what we feel right now is related to the other person, when in fact we are
unknowingly relating to personal ghosts of the past. Naturally, when we confuse past and present, unnecessary
relationship conflicts and tensions arise. In order to heal our relationships, we need to understand this phenomenon and
use specific tools to undo its distortions.
"The Story of Your Life - Garbled or Coherent?"
Saturday, March 24, 2012
3:00pm - 5:00pm
$45 plus hst
Sit in a restaurant and watch what people do besides eating – they yack and yack and yack. Why? Because we
are story-telling animals – from way back in childhood we love to hear and tell stories as a way of making sense of our
world.
Does it surprise you then that as an adult the manner and structure of stories you tell yourself and others is
indicative of the state of your psychological health? In this lecture you will find out why telling stories is important in our
lives, how the manner of your parenting affects your children’s story-telling abilities, how healthy and unhealthy stories
look like, and how to transform unhealthy story patterns into healthy ones.
