Monday, May 28, 2012 - retreat ends 10am Location: The Abode of the Mission - 5 Abode Road - New Lebanon, NY Registration: http://empoweringrelationships.eventbrite.com/ SEE BELOW FOR ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORTATION DETAILS This epic international adventure of the soul will focus on that most sacred of all human activities - relationship. We will explore what it means to enter into the union of the Divine sacred masculine and the Divine sacred feminine, drawing heavily from Empowering Relationships 1 and 2 (part of the Path of Ease and Grace) but with a twist that only a peaceful retreat setting would enable. Take a deep journey into your core and find the hidden treasure of your deepest Self, awake to the spirit of freedom, creativity, liberty and love and also the security and nourishment of a Divine relationship.

When needs go unmet over time this can lead to either separation, affairs, uncomfortable compromise, suffering, lack of fulfillment and dulling of the relationship and its potential as a source of happiness and peace. |
Explore the meaning of intimacy and its natural cycles. Intimacy is affected by our capacity to skillfully communicate our feelings in an honest yet respectful manner. Handling difficult emotions is a large part of the skill set.
The soul has no way of showing itself to us except through the mirror of relationship. We look in the Magic Mirror to see how we are holding old patterns of pain inside of our own being. This powerful teaching has the capacity to revolutionize the way you see yourself and others. In the Empowering Relationships Retreat you will gain understanding of how the energy field affects your relationships and learn to:
If you have ever found it difficult after the honeymoon stage to stay committed and feel free to be yourself in a relationship, this seminar can help you unlock the secrets of a happy long-term commitment. Come and find out how to renovate your relationship or build a new one with Ease and Grace. |
