The Practice of Compassionate Engagement
Introduction:
How do you ask for what you want, take care of your needs, and really be heard?
How do you assert yourself in both loving and aggressive situations?
How do you express vulnerability and sensitivity and stay in your own power?
This workshop will shift and reframe your views on confrontation, assertiveness, and true power leading to greater self-confidence and peaceful interactions with others.
You will be offered a number of tools for tackling challenging situations with integrity and compassion leading to:
 |
• greater inner peace
• deeper relationships and intimacy
• improved effectiveness and influence at work
• resolution of misunderstandings and increased trust
|
This experience is unique because it does not rely solely on theories - there will also be ample opportunity to start putting these principles into practice resulting in a noticeable shift in behavior, deeper insight into yourself, and enhanced interactions with others.
Various techniques will be used to put these principles into immediate action and bring them to life:
|
• physical exercises
• meditation
• basic martial arts techniques
• tai chi
• breath work
• interactive games
|
Target Audience:
|
• Individuals desiring to “take the next step”
• Personal and business partners
• Teachers, counselors, parents
• Corporate and non-profit organizations
• Business owners and managers
• Spiritual/Political activists
• Anyone who thinks of themselves as “nice” and wants to feel their True Power
