Attachment Style

Our attachment styles impact all types of relationships from partner, to parents, to child to friends and neighbours.

There really is nothing more important to understand about yourself and your partner!

It affects everything from our partner selection, to how well our relationships progress and even to how they end. That is why recognizing our attachment pattern can help us understand our strengths and vulnerabilities in a relationship.

This event is designed for anyone and everyone... young, old, single or married.

It is information and tools to use that will give you the chance to improve all of your relationships, whether at home at work or with relatives!

Young or old, single or in a relationship, any gender, any lifestyle… all are welcome for this fun and interactive event.

Core Values

Many people think that values are ethics or morals; they’re not. Values are what is important to us, what we ‘value’, and what gives us purpose. 

Each person’s values are unique to that person; even if two people happen to pick the same value word, such as integrity, each person will demonstrate it differently in their daily actions and language.

“If you don’t take control of your life, someone else will”.

Personal values offer a form of focus because it becomes clear to you what’s important to YOU and no-one else. Because let’s face it – if we don’t know what’s important to us, how can we live a meaningful life?

But the truth is, most people coast through life without any kind of consideration for what is truly important to them. This means that unfortunately for many, life is something that ‘just happens’ to them.

Join us for an event that can literally change your life (check out our REVIEWS!)

Explore your personality

We all have a variety of "traits," and it is easy to view yourself as having both positive and negative aspects.

Exposing and understanding your personality will help you to understand that everything about you is interconnected and that your "weaknesses" are just as much a part of you as your "strengths."

We see and interact with the world in different ways.

No personality type is "better" than any other – just different; and each perspective brings something new and exciting to the table.

This event is designed for anyone and everyone... young, old, single or married. It is information and tools to use that will give you the chance to improve all of your relationships, whether at home at work or with relatives!

Young or old, single or in a relationship, any gender, any lifestyle… all are welcome for this fun and interactive event.

Let's explore, understand, and appreciate our differences, but first, let’s discover them!

What is Love?

Love is a complex and vast array of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings another person.

Love can also be used to apply to people, animals, to principles, and even to inanimate objects.

Love has been a favored topic of philosophers, poets, writers, and scientists for generations, and different people and groups have often fought about its definition.

While we can debate all day along about what love is, it is often a little easier to help us all understand what love isn’t.

Love is not possessive.
Love is not codependent.
Love is not an empty feeling.
Love is not about serving someone else.
Love is not making someone else happy.
Love is not "walking on eggshells".

We would think that love has a universal meaning, but “I love you” might mean something quite different to different people.

Come and join us for this epic journey to see if we can get a better understanding of what love is.

Young or old, single or in a relationship, any gender, any lifestyle… all are welcome for this fun and interactive event.

The Emotional Connection 

An Emotional Connection happens when we can trust our partner "emotionally."

We trust that our partner is supportive, committed, respectful, and engaged in the relationship.

It’s when we can be our true selves and not always have that “walking on eggshells” feeling.

We can tell we are “connected” when we can support each other, communicate well, understand each other and deal with conflict fairly.

Do you know what it means to have an “Emotional Connection”?

Stop the Drama 

Many of us talk about drama, but it’s interesting that in most cases, our perspective is that it is always the other person who is creating it. 

Can that be possible?  Can it really always be the other person?

Drama is a complicated and powerful mix of pain, guilt, affirmation seeking, adrenaline and love all mixed into a cocktail of emotional outreach. It can actually be addicting and is toxic to any relationship it mixes with.

Let’s see of we can better understand what it might feel like to live in a drama free zone.

Emotional Abuse 

Emotional abuse is one of the hardest forms of abuse to both understand and recognize. It can be subtle and insidious or overt and manipulative.

It chips away at our self-esteem and has us doubting our own perceptions and reality. The underlying goal in emotional abuse is to control us by discrediting, isolating, and silencing.

So what does it mean to be emotionally/psychologically abused? How does it manifest in our relationships and who are the perpetrators?

Let’s examine what emotional abuse really is and explore some ways to see if we can stop it!

Great Sex - The 3 Keys

During this event, we will examine three important elements, three keys - one organ, one action, one feeling - that will help you start the discussion and open the door to a great sex life. 

Sex is such an important part of the majority of healthy relationships, yet it is one of the most difficult things to talk about openly.

Starting a discussion about sex can be quite uncomfortable for many of us and because of that we don’t always get to explore what it really means to have a great sexual relationship.

Let’s see if we can shed some light on it!

Authenticity

What if people don’t like the real me?

When we worry that people won't like the "real" us, what we are usually worried about is discovering that our friends are really not our friends. 

But does it really matter if the only reason that we have those friends is because we are pretending to be someone that we are not?

If we constantly seek approval (or respect) from other people
we will never understand how it feels to live life as our true selves.

Not being authentic can make a person feel resentment, depression, boredom, anger, and a slew of other unhappy feelings. 

Let’s discover what it means to live an AUTHENTIC life.

Emotional triggers 

All of us have some trigger or “hot button,” that, when pushed, sets us off into uncomfortable emotions that may even lead to anger, hostility, fear,  and ultimately, our bad habits. Does that happen to you sometimes?  All the time?

We may have heard of “trigger warnings” or “getting triggered”, but what does “getting triggered” mean, and how can we control it?

It is worth putting in the effort to explore our emotional triggers. The more aware we are, the less we will be ruled by our unconscious programming.

Needs & Expectations 

In most relationships, it is our "expectation" that our partner will value our needs and desires as much as their own.

Needs and expectations can fuel and influence how we relate, react, and respond to everything that we do and to everyone around us.

But most of us don’t even realize that we have these expectations until we find ourselves feeling disappointed, upset, and experiencing a great deal of confusion within the struggles of life.

This event will help us see that sometimes it is our own expectations that are the problem rather than our partner.

Kindness

What do we mean by kindness and how can we tell if someone is kind? What are the characteristic traits of behavior?

Kindness is generally thought of as the quality of being friendly, considerate and generous. A kind person considers the feelings of others, tries to help them and avoids actions that do harm. Affection, empathy and giving to others are qualities of a kind person.

People who are kind act that way not for any reward or even recognition but because it is the right way to behave and the way a person wishes others would act towards them.

Let’s explore what to means to be kind, not just to others, but also to ourselves!

Schedule

Track 1 - June 2021

Track 2 - December 2021

acceptance

Acceptance does not mean that we like, want, choose, or support what we are resisting. When we resist we create a struggle in ourselves that creates suffering.

Acceptance means choosing to allow something to be a part of our lives when we have no ability or control to change it at that moment.   

Acceptance is an active process that must be practiced consciously and on an ongoing basis. It means to accept that things change and that we make mistakes. 

It also means that we can forgive ourselves for making those mistakes, live our lives without regrets, acknowledge our successes, and most of all, practice self-compassion.

conscious communication 

Communication (or a lack of effective communication) either makes or breaks most relationships.

Relationships don’t exist in a vacuum. They exist between two emotional human beings who bring their own past experiences, history, and expectations into it.

Two different people also have different levels of skill when it comes to communication, but the good news is that if communication is a skill, then it can be improved.

We can all develop our communication skills. We can all improve our relationships with better communication. So let’s do that!

the four agreements 

This event will have us taking a look at "The 4 Agreements", the best selling book by Don Miguel Ruiz. We are going to look at the 4 agreements from the perspective of couple and relationships

Be Impeccable With Your Word
Don't Take Anything Personally
 Don't Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best

Taking some time to learn and focus on any one of these agreements can help your relationship. Focusing on all 4 of them can change your relationship.

the impact of porn

Pornography is everywhere. It used to be something that we had to go and look for. Today, it's not only easy, affordable, and anonymous, it's as graphic as we can imagine, and as varied as our wildest dreams. 

But at what price? Porn impacts our brains, our lifestyles, and our relationships in ways that many of us might never have thought, both good and bad! 

Porn can have a positive impact on a relationship, but more often than not, the effects are COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to what we really want and need both personally and in our relationships.

We will address this topic “candidly,” so please attend with an open mind and with the understanding that we all have different standards when it come to sex and relationships.

transparency

Being emotionally transparent is about us; it's not about our partner.

It revolves around being able to share our deepest thoughts and feelings as well as our fears, anger, sadness, resentments, and joy.

Transparency in a relationship is about sharing our thoughts and feelings honestly, without fear of judgement or repercussion.

It takes a commitment to observe our emotions, identify them, and be able to share them effectively. 

It is NOT about confronting our partner, and likely getting a defensive response, but rather, it's about analyzing and confronting ourselves.

Narcissism / Borderline

Many of us talk about drama, but it’s interesting that in most cases, our perspective is that it is always the other person who is creating it. 

Can that be possible?  Can it really always be the other person?

Drama is a complicated and powerful mix of pain, guilt, affirmation seeking, adrenaline and love all mixed into a cocktail of emotional outreach. It can actually be addicting and is toxic to any relationship it mixes with.

Let’s see of we can better understand what it might feel like to live in a drama free zone.

Opposite Sex Friends

Most people ask the question “Can men and women just be friends”. The answer to that question is an easy “YES, of course they can”!

But the question is flawed. The question should really be “Do my partner and I have the security in our relationship and the emotional tools necessary to successfully maintain friends of the opposite sex (or the sex you are attracted to)?
 
It’s less about whether or not they can exist and how they impact relationships in general, it’s more about how these friendships may impact OUR relationship.

It’s about the jealousy that develops because of insecurity, and the feelings of disrespect that occurs when a friendship is handled poorly.

Why We Cheat

Cheating is rarely just about sex. In fact, there are studies that suggest that cheating for sexual gratification alone is responsible for less than 20% of the cases.
 
An affair is rarely the actual problem; it is usually the symptom of the problem.

There is more often than not multiple other issues that have developed in the relationship and it is the inability to deal with these issues effectively that leads to one of the partners, or both, to seek other people to fulfill their need for emotional intimacy, to feel valued, supported, cared for etc.

Infidelity is a complicated and difficult subject to deal with in a relationship, and the best way to prevent a problem is to first understand what is happening and then to develop our skills in the areas that lead to it happening.

Being “conscious” in our relationships is a major step.
