My girlfriend Sandy & I came home from Hamburg two days ago, where we attended two absolutely amazing workshops, “The Freedom To Breathe” and “The License To Live” with the Kanes.
Since the start of the first workshop I have felt really empowered, fresh, complete, clear and very calm at the same time – and this feeling lingers on, in all aspects of my live. I get things done and handled without any effort or stress, I just finish what has to be done and move on to the next thing without any complaint or thought that usually came up in my mind that told me I’d like to do something different or better.
And also my relationship with Sandy feels so fresh and close and precious again – it’s like falling in love with her for the first time, again and again, from moment to moment anew! I really love what has happened and is still happening for us two and all the others who took part in the “Hamburg Adventure”with the Kanes. (more…)
Last week I came back from a 10 day vacation with a dear friend of mine at the Ligurian Coast in Italy. We had stayed with relatives of hers and had the best time: sun and rain, sea and countryside, beautiful encounters and conversations with people, lovely food (and ice cream!!) and a lot of fun. In the midst of all beautiful things something truly magical happened to me.
I have my own business as a PR consultant & an interpreter. In the last three years English became the predominant language that I have been called on to interpret. Recently I considered concentrating on English, and stopped working with the Italian language completely.
I was sitting by the water on the shore, reading an Italian book, looking at the children jumping into the water, enjoying the breeze, the sun and the water on my skin when I suddenly felt some sort of hate towards Italian people. I noticed it, quite surprised… I saw it and it was gone. Something really interesting happened next. It felt as if somebody took a lid off of me and all my passion, love and admiration for Italian people and Italian culture came bubbling up… (more…)
I was just thinking about you in the midst of my wedding preparation- I wonder if you all know that Christian and I are getting married in August? We are planning a civil wedding ceremony with the inner circle of the family this summer.
After Christian and I moved in together last October things were great between us and we enjoyed very much being with each other. Another accelerator was my participation in the workshop with Ariel and Shya in Costa Rica. Ever since I returned, we had an incredible time together and Christian spontaneously asked my parents for my hand in marriage. We chose the date (Aug 5th) so our family could attend. (more…)
Most of us are looking for a depth of intimacy and personal satisfaction in all of our interactions. It is just that we have never really been taught how to access this state of harmony and well-being. When you discover how to be present in every day moments, as if each and everything you do matters, then you begin to experience the simplicity and awesome nature of life. In this course you will discover how to feel good in your own skin and how to intimately interact with everyone and everything, including and perhaps most especially, with yourself.
Here is one participant’s experience of the workshop last year. Why not create your own experience? You may be pleasantly surprised of who you are!
Intimacy
Dates: Friday – Sunday, June 10th, 11th & 12th, 2011
Time: Friday, 7pm-10pm, Saturday & Sunday: 9:45am-6pm
Fee: $425
Location: 630 Second Avenue at 35th Street, NYC
It can be a challenge to discover true physical intimacy when your earliest conditioning has been to train you that “those” parts are bad and dirty. In this light and playful episode Ariel & Shya will support you in dissolving those old limiting ideas and inhibitions so that you can be free and natural with yourself and your partner alike. Callers welcome!
I am in my studio now, about to draw, and I feel like I am about to kick some major ass.
The “Intimacy” workshop was actually a miracle. Since the workshop, which only ended three days ago, two of my drawings have sold, and another was put on hold. ’Hold’, meaning it will probably sell also.
Yesterday, my boss Max approached me in the morning and told me he wants to give me a “Mid-year’s Bonus” (which has never happened before)!! I had a nice, INTIMATE, mushy, loving moment with Max, as he told me how much he appreciates the quality of work I’ve been doing with him, and I expressed a lot of gratitude for him, too.
I am on fire at work this week. No breaks, all fast, hard completion. Each task I get, I surprise myself with the simplicity with which I complete things, and time opens up so that even more things may be completed.
My girlfriend Kate and I are not fighting at all. Just cool and calm and listening. Working together on each other’s projects.
Kate and I had an amazing Monday Night Alive this week. I am ALWAYS wrong when I try to imagine how valuable a Kanes workshop will be before it happens. It is always unimaginably valuable.
Something became very clear to me at a weekend workshop I recently attended called, The Art of Listening. A significant portion of the participants in the course, more than I’ve seen in a long time, were new people who came in from all over the country. The workshop was vibrant, alive and fresh in a way that was very new and exciting to me!
I had heard it said many times before at other workshops I’ve attended, that the new people attending are the “lifeblood” of Transformation. This time, it became a very real experience for me to hear that. Like all of us at one time, they never knew this possibility existed for them and are intrigued and excited by it. They remind us of how rare it is to discover living in the moment and how we each make a huge difference. Those of us who regularly attend Monday night seminars and workshops “live” transformation as a lifestyle. The new people we invite are the fresh air, spark and fire that keeps it going and reignites the excitement of discovery.
