Respectful Confrontation

 

The Practice of Compassionate Engagement

  • 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?

Move into these questions -- and many others -- in this experiential workshop.

This workshop will shift and reframe your views on confrontation, assertiveness, and true power leading to greater self-confidence and peaceful interactions with others.

Tools for an empowered life

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

An engaging, experiential weekend

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
