 Sep 10 - 12 2010- The Healing Power of Love
In modern times, we are encouraged to keep going at all costs - rather than allow much needed, inner healing to take its course. Explore the powers that are the source of our well-being, powers that come from inside the self and are of long term benefit: love, happiness, forgiveness, and silence. Unconditional love opens new and unlimited horizons. Happiness helps us surmount the storms and learn life's lessons. The power of forgiveness allows us to create anew. Silence is simplicity - it creates solutions and is the way to the Divine.

 Sep 24 - 26 2010 - Seven Pathways to Happiness
Happiness is an experience we all certainly desire, seek and aspire to, yet, it is an experience that seems often illusive and a rare commodity in a demanding and often negative world. In our retreat, we will explore how we can make happiness more accessible and a more permanent feature in our lives.
We will reveal the illusions that obstruct my path to happiness and understand how to build my road to happiness with seven basic steps. Through meditation we will learn how to harnesses the deep beauty of the inner self, empowering our self confidence, which helps us make sense of our lives.

The Soul of Recovery Putting the 12 Steps into Action
Resistance or Relapse?
In twelve-step programs, people heal partly through the telling and sharing of their own stories. It is through the sharing of the trauma and pain and the subsequent healing that people form common bonds that unite them. Then, to get beyond that connection of pain, they need to go further by sharing their soulful moments, their hopes, and their dreams. This requires re-establishing a relationship with their creativity and, through their higher awareness, connecting with others on a spiritual level. This workshop will begin to teach your counselor how the new seven stage group action model of Souldrama® can be applied to the process of recovery. Using action methods offers exciting and effective ways to expand and enliven communication, learning, skill building and self- discovery in groups with those in recovery from substance abuse.
Who can use these techniques?
Substance abuse counselors who are helping clients to move through various stages of recovery
The techniques used here can be used for action interventions in groups, with couples, individuals. As clients move from talking about to exploring their problems in action, opportunities arrive to heal the past and clarify the present and to imagine the future. This experiential workshop will offer your counselors.
