Dealing With a Difficult Parent: A Spiritual Approach
How to Avoid 10 Years of Therapy
Not scheduled at this time.
In this weekend of introspective study, partner and group work, and re-connecting with ourselves through Nature, we will embark on an adventure of transformation to overcome unhelpful patterns of family paradigms – and discover how to be freed of them once and for all!
What You Will Learn from This Seminar:
- How to go beyond forgiveness – to gratitude – to glorifying.
- Tools to leave the past behind – and live the life you want to live.
- How to make peace with your parents before they pass on – and with yourself.
- A yogic approach to not letting others “get your goat.”
- Understanding why you chose your parents—including the sorry pitfalls of expecting perfection from imperfect people!
- How to turn the obstacles of challenging family dynamics into opportunities
Based on the instructor’s book, From Bagels to Curry: A Jewish Yogi’s Account of the Passing of a Parent, this weekend will help you to find a thread of pure, overpowering love woven throughout even the most difficult of your familial relationships. Unresolved grief, hurt feelings, emotional congestion: these states are often symptoms of an un-nurturing childhood. Learn how to create your own future by taking responsibility for your past! Spoiler alert: this seminar is an eye-opener.
Tips and Guidelines for This Seminar:
- It is suggested that you read “the Bagels book” before attending.
- Please note: this weekend will not address serious abuse/addiction issues nor is it structured as a therapy session. Please seek appropriate measures for these conditions.
- This seminar is not intended to replace any therapy or medication you may currently be using.
