Parenting As Path
One Day Workshop with Follow-up Consult Included
Tomorrow is the Spelling Bee. You know your child can win and it would make him so happy - and validate your decision to spend extra time on his weekly words. But he is in his room alternately whining and stomping and saying he won't go to the Bee. You gently encourage him, patiently telling him for the umpteenth time that he is the best and to just imagine how happy he will be when he wins.
But underneath the calm encouragement, you are anxious and full of dread - can't he just do this!
Sound familiar? Children possess the unique talent to trigger parents to their most un-balanced selves, as few other things do during adult life. The incomparable love that is parenting stirs emotions within that we often do our best to keep under wraps. However, those feelings hold a key to our true parental wisdom. This Parenting as Path workshop will assist you to explore both the feelings and deep voice of clarity hidden within. When we uncover that rich voice, we find our internal guide to clear, supportive, and non-resentful action as parents.
Join Parenting Consultant, Beth Sutton for this one-day adventure with a follow-up consult included. Through activities and discussion, we will seek to enliven our lives and enjoy our children as we walk the path of parenting.

Free Monthly Teleclass
Offered the 2nd Wednesday of every month
Are you feeling stuck - held back from what you truly want in life? Perhaps you're looking for a way to let go of these feelings to reach what really matters to you? If this rings any bells for you, you're invited to join Equine Inspired Discovery facilitator, Lysa Wilkins for this month's Free Teleclass.
Equine Inspired Discovery is a personal development technique that takes the natural laws by which horses in the wild live and translates them into something that will inspire human beings to live the life they desire, from becoming aware of the energy you bring to client meetings and relationships to discovering what that "stuck" feeling is about.
As Lysa explains, "My mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of others by using the model of 'The Horse' to achieve freedom from limiting thoughts, in order to make a true connection with oneself.
My unique use of 'The Horse' as a training model, effectively demonstrates how the shift from 'knowledge into realization' and from 'understanding into actualization' can happen much quicker than may be experienced through traditional personal development programs.
My equine partners exemplify how a relationship with another being can lead to a fundamentally better life. Through my connection with my own horses, I can show you how to communicate through feel and intention rather than the language and logical side of your brain, which may cause blocks through worry, fear, pain, and stress. I will teach you how to read the signals the horses communicate to you when a connection is either made or broken. The signals you learn about through my equine partners will overlap with the interactions you have in your everyday life, helping you to become more perceptive and receptive to communication with your inner-self and the people around you."

Monthly Breath Class
Facilitated by Samvedam Randles
Breathwork as a self-help healing method using a combination of breath,
music, sound, and the presence of a facilitator to give each client an
experience of Self. Using techniques from bioenergetics, massage, and
meditation, clients are taught a circular breathing method called, the
connected breath. With the energy of breath, the participant embarks on
an inner journey into one's soul.
Learning conscious connected breathing in a safe environment enables clients to strengthen their relaxation response, let go of tension, and use the energy and rhythm of the breath to connect with their deepest and most spiritual selves. This experience is the foundation of psychological and spiritual integration. Each Breathwork session is different and regular practice will enhance general health, promote well-being and connection with ones Self.
Whether you have never experienced the power of connected breathing or practice regularly and would appreciate the support of a facilitator, You are invited to join Samvedam Randles for the monthly breathwork class offered at The Arlington Center in Arlington, MA.

Free Monthly Teleclass
Offered the 2nd Wednesday of every month
This month we are honored to be joined by a very special guest instructor: Marc David! Marc is a visionary health and nutrition consultant, eating psychologist, and the author of two acclaimed books - The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss, and Nourishing Wisdom: A Mind-Body Approach to Nutrition and Well Being. A nationally recognized teacher and speaker, Marc presents his expertise in nutritional medicine and the psychology of eating in a fresh and innovative way. His humorous, engaging, and informative speaking style have made him a popular and well loved presenter; and his non-dogmatic approach to nutrition appeals to a wide audience of eaters who are looking for positive, inspiring, and innovative messages about food and metabolism.
For this free teleclass, Marc will share a bit of his wisdom about “Transforming Your Relationship with Food.” The question of what and how to eat is one of the most compelling topics of our times. If you are among the people who express dissatisfaction with their bodies, who battle with weight, or are simply frustrated and confused about all the conflicting information around, you are invited to participate in this delicious conversation about eating with one of the industry experts.
Take a beautiful leap forward with food by learning some of the powerful tools and techniques from the fields of Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition. Allow yourself to be liberated from the rules and move from a relationship with food that punishes, to one that nourishes.

Emotional Re-Education Workshop
July 20th - 22nd in Essex, MA
April Prita Manganiello explains "While we all experience pain in our lives, true suffering is born of a disconnection from the core self. Such disconnection may result from life's traumas." Whether you have experienced traumas of intrusion, absence, betrayal, illness, accident, or loss, these moments become frozen in the body. In turn, when a modern-day situation stimulates the trauma memory (consciously or unconsciously), our bodies revert back to that state of disconnection. To help melt these frozen places, April Prita Manganiello, has created the Emotional Re-Education Workshop - a safe and healing place to challenge limited self beliefs and to cut through inhibiting stuck places. Within the safety of this container, you will have the opportunity to unwind and melt traumas you have experienced. It is a container to try on new attitudes, support your ability to give and receive love, and to be more fully connected to yourself and others. "It is a process of recognizing, releasing, and re-framing," explains Prita. "Through this work, it truly is possible to change your reactions into responses, and live an abundant and connected life."
If you have the on-going support of a therapist or coach, and would like to experience a deepened connection to yourself and others, sign up for this powerful workshop.
This workshop, under the direction of April Prita Manganiello, is led by a team of co-facilitators and assistants, several of whom are members of The Consciousness Collaborative. The ratio of support to participants is about 3:1 - a highly atypical and nourishing setting for profound group work.

Rousing Intuition Workshop
With Beth Sutton in Farmington, CT
(Note Date Change!)
The Rousing Intuition Workshop explores ways to better recognize and trust the voice of our own inner clarity. Through a series of playful, active, and artistic exercises we begin to experience ourselves, and those who challenge us most, in a new light. We tease apart the expectations and assumptions that shrink our perceptions and block our intuition. We discover the ways fear and judgment shut down our perception, and we begin to open our ears to our own intuition. This deep knowing, in turn, informs our insight and understanding and opens life-filled options for us - moment by moment.
Join Beth Sutton for a weekend of clay modeling, music, architectural installations, laughter, and provocative discussion. Working with the Buddha Families (Tibetan Buddhism) and Sensory Learning Styles (Enki Education), we will open up our expectations and explore new perspectives and possibilities. From there, we practice hearing our own intuition as we take a fresh look at that which challenges us - from the screaming child, to the coworker who seems to be deaf, to the undertaking that defies our plans - learning to trust ourselves, regardless of the hurdle before us.
