December is another month for continued growth as we explore some very personal topics as we try to better understand ourselves and our relationships. Why do we do the things we do?
The goal for all of the events is to create awareness. As we see things more clearly, we can stop reacting to triggers based on our patterns from the past and start responding to life based on our goals and dreams. The events are fun, affordable and relevant. We discuss important subjects in a relaxed setting that encourages open and honest discussion. Click on the Event Titles Below to Learn More!

Boundaries
Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday
6:30 Eastern & 6:30 Pacific Thursday 11:00 Pacific,2:00 Eastern, 7:00 GMT |
There a lot of misconceptions what healthy boundaries are and what they do for relationships. Some might feel that they aren't really important or may not even understand what they are, but in reality all healthy relationships have boundaries.
It's important that both partners communicate their boundaries clearly, and that boundaries are respected. Healthy boundaries don’t come naturally, nor do they come easily, which is why it's important to understand and utilize them. The purpose of boundaries is to allow both partners to feel comfortable and develop positive self-esteem in the relationship. It important for both people to be clear about who they are, what they want, and to identify and express their beliefs, values, and limits. This event will help everyone better understand boundaries, why we need them and how to possibly implement them in a relationship.

People Pleasing
Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday
6:30 Eastern & 6:30 Pacific Thursday 11:00 Pacific,2:00 Eastern, 7:00 GMT |
Yes, sometimes people-pleasing is what we need to do for any number of reasons, but there are also many unhealthy people-pleasing behaviors.
In many cases, people-pleasing can get addictive because of the rewards it brings, but that is also what makes it harmful. People pleasing is a pattern, and if we have that pattern, then it’s likely that we often try to be who others want us to be. We tend to always agree and try to “fit in”. We may not even realize we are doing this, because it’s so familiar to us that it has become a true “pattern” or habit. Instead of being who we want to be, our goal is to please others in order to avoid negative reactions that make us uncomfortable. Too much "people-pleasing" causes us to lose our own path and we might become what people call a “doormat” and never be our true selves.

The need to be right
Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday
6:30 Eastern & 6:30 Pacific Thursday 11:00 Pacific,2:00 Eastern, 7:00 GMT |
The need to be right is a prevalent, damaging and unhealthy perspective that can wreak havoc on our personal and professional lives.
Being right helps us to maintain our sense of control over our lives. Being wrong shakes up this basic need and has us feeling vulnerable. It leads us to the saying that many of us have heard “Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?” There aren’t very many situations when someone is 100 percent right and someone else is 100 percent wrong, yet it’s hard for us to even admit the portion that we might be wrong for. We tend to go for the landslide victory, rather than the admit any of our own errors in judgement. The ‘need to be right’ keeps us holding on to pain from the past rather than allowing us to move forward and be our best selves. It prevents self-growth and learning. For our own well being and the well being of our relationships, letting go of the ‘need to be right’ can free up much space and free up the time and energy to live a better life.

Foreplay - What is it?
Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday
6:30 Eastern & 6:30 Pacific Thursday 11:00 Pacific,2:00 Eastern, 7:00 GMT |
Foreplay is not what many think it is. It's not the 20 minutes or even the two hours before sex.
True foreplay is not even about sex. It might be doing the dishes for your partner, being excited to watch the game, or dressing up for the night out, or mowing the lawn. It can be flirty texts during the day or a well-timed compliment. The true warm up for sex is in the mind. Mental foreplay is about building up anticipation of sexual tension and using our imaginations to stimulate each other.
