WORKSHOP SUMMARY

In Take Charge of Your Life Workshop each participant is invited to explore the journey of his or her own life. This will be done in a very interactive group setting, in the context of the Medicine Wheel, which is a traditional symbol of life and healing. It is also a powerful tool for self-awareness, reconnection, growth, spiritual awakening and change. It is the story of each of our lives, and how we can take charge of our lives.

Participants are also invited to examine how each gives power away through fear, anger, addictions, and not valuing self. A Medicine Wheel is created in the workshop using 36 stones. The process of constructing the Medicine Wheel will direct and empower the participants to awaken and act on their innate wisdom, power and life direction.

The Medicine Wheel creates a field of knowing, of safety, and of direction that is unique to the group of participants involved. Therefore, every workshop is different.

The purpose of Take Charge of Your Life Workshop is to awaken the awareness of power in each person so that they can act on it, take charge of their own lives and use their own power in good, creative ways.

There are many “hands on exercises” that are done in the workshop. These exercises can be “taken home” and immediately used to empower one’s own life on a daily basis.

This is a powerful, life-changing workshop. Once you enter the circle, you will no longer be the same. Young people (12 years and up) and Elders (70’s and 80’s) have participated in this workshop. You will get as much as you put in. You will take home as much as you choose.

This Workshop Will Include:

• Group Discussions and Diads
• Analogies
• Demonstrations
• Writing
• Storytelling
• Using the Medicine Wheel
• Music
• Life Maps
• Brainstorming
• Personal Interactions
• Prayer and Meditations

The 20-Day Healing Journey Program – Outline

The 20-Day Healing Journey Program – Outline

DESCRIPTION

The Healing Journey Program is a holistic, participant-driven, facilitator managed, healing opportunity. It is designed for self-motivated adults who are choosing to heal and grow. It recognizes that we are each our own healer who can benefit from the support, experience and witness of others in a group process. The authority and onus of responsibility for change and growth is determined by each participant’s choices, willingness and determination to complete the necessary work that will make a difference.

The Healing Journey Program is a positive, present-moment focused, action-based process. It acknowledges that we carry hurt and pain from the past. It also acknowledges that although we may not have been responsible for the original hurt and pain, especially if it occurred when we were children, we are responsible for how we deal with it now. This is true, even if we choose to do nothing. The program invites participants to actively share their stories, experiences and wisdom, make plans, act on their plans (or at least the first steps) and report back to the group to celebrate their successes.

A major aspect of the Healing Journey Program focuses on power, authority and responsibility. It also focuses on ways we give our power, authority and responsibility away, through addictive processes. The program invites participants to acknowledge addictive behavior, the sources of this behavior, and the ability to choose to use one’s power effectively. It looks at concrete ways of managing one’s power and addictive tendencies.
