Emotional Re-Education Workshop
Weekend Retreat of Self Discover and Connection
The Emotional Re-Education Workshop is a safe environment to explore old emotional hurts, decisions, and beliefs - cutting through the stuck places that inhibit your ability to live fully in yourself and to give and receive love.
Traumas, whether from intrusions, absences, betrayals, illnesses, accidents, or losses remain frozen in our bodies. Healing involves somatic and emotional release and reframing. These are the “missing pieces” in talk therapy. In this workshop, you will be encouraged to challenge limited self-beliefs and definitions and to try out and try on new attitudes and ways of being.
This workshop is designed for intense emotional exploration, release, and re-education; intended for participants who currently have the regular support of a therapist or coach. The processes are facilitated in a group setting, where we realize our concerns are shared and that we can be supported by others. It is also an opportunity to experience non-invasive bonding, a basic human need sorely neglected in our culture.
*This is a residential retreat and all rooms are double occupancy. All costs are included in the $675 fee, specifically: 5 meals (Sat. breakfast/ lunch/ dinner - Sun. breakfast/ lunch), snacks, 2 overnight stays, and participation in all of the workshop activities. A few single rooms are available at an additional cost. The Consciousness Collaborative members, Adrian Wilkins, Anya Mann, and Dawn Lipinski, will facilitate this workshop with Wanda Stevens under the direction of April Prita Manganiello.

Experience Your Soul in the Beauty of Sedona
An environment that inspires and allows for mindful awakening in which you can simply BE.

Connect with your spirit, supported by the beautiful red rocks of Sedona, through:
* Music
* Meditation
* Mandalas
* Movement
* Mindfulness
The harmonizing energy vortices of Sedona have called to people from all over the world, from ancient times through present day. "These vortices are renowned for their balancing energy," explains Anya Sophia Mann of Conscious Journey, "they invite us to connect in this sacred space for a powerful and transformative retreat."
This April, Anya will guide you on a journey of transformation and healing. "This will be the 4th piece of work I've lead in Sedona. Over the past 20 years, I have facilitated workshops and retreats internationally, and for me, Sedona resonates deeply with my soul. One participant described the experience: 'I thought my heart was open until today. The energy in the room was tangible and it brought us to a healing place.' His words honor the results of the work when people come together in a healing environment and then bring it out into their world by connecting in deeper, more meaningful, ways," says Anya.
April 22 - 25, 2010
Accommodations are not included. Suggestions will be offered upon registration.

Effective Communication for Comprehensive Care Dentistry
Facilitated by Adrian Wilkins
Most of the doctors I meet want to help people. They want a profession that affords them a better than average income, is challenging, and provides a valuable service to the world. Almost all of them have invested thousands of hours and thousands of dollars above and beyond dental school to become better clinicians in an effort to provide the best comprehensive care dentistry possible to their patients.
These same dentists, however, often tell me of the challenges they face finding qualified candidates for comprehensive care treatment. Further, when they do find them, it is often difficult to convey the value of this kind of dentistry to their patients. Frustration sets in when they have worked hard at becoming the best dentist possible and then find themselves not having the opportunity to practice what they have learned. This frustration typically results in either: pushing patients - who often do not accept treatment, or resigning themselves to a career of single tooth dentistry.
More new patients, is not the answer!
As a practice consultant, I see practices attempt to market themselves to success and not create the result they are striving to achieve. The most successful and effective dentists I know are the ones who have learned how to communicate effectively. The foundation of their practice rests on existing patients and internal referrals.
There is a solution and it is not high pressure sales!
This workshop provides a sound philosophical and practical foundation for the dentist who wants to practice better comprehensive care dentistry without driving patients away. Utilizing the tools, systems, concepts, and techniques taught in this workshop you will foster positive relationships with patients who accept treatment, and just as importantly, with patients who do not accept treatment.
In a safe interactive coaching environment, we will explore these tried and proven methods to allow the patients who will benefit from comprehensive care to accept treatment; and at the same time maintain a healthy patient base while satisfying the needs of all of your patients. Learn how to communicate with patients and manage your practice in a way that allows you to perform the type of dentistry you have trained for.

2-Day Reiki 1st Degree Certification Workshop
May 1st & 2nd
What is Reiki? Liz Giargiari of The Reiki Temple explains, "Reiki, pronounced "ray - key," means Universal Life Force, the energy that is all around us and within each of us. An ancient Japanese form of healing for the body, mind, and spirit, Reiki is one of the most rapidly growing forms of complimentary health care. Reiki is a non-invasive, gentle hands-on healing technique that can nurture and accelerate the body's natural ability to heal; decrease and relieve pain; induce the relaxation response to relieve stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being; enhance the abilities of the immune system; and revitalize the body, mind, and spirit."
You are invited to experience and become attuned to this gentle and profound transformational energy. Learn how you can channel Universal Life Force for yourself and the benefit of others, including beloved pets. This 2-day 1st Degree Reiki Certification Workshop will include lectures, instruction, demonstrations, history, as well as plenty of supervised practice. You will give and receive Reiki during the many practice sessions. You will also receive the four degree-specific "attunements," which will prepare you as a channel for this wonderful healing energy.
This workshop will be taught by Liz Giargiari, certified Reiki Master-Teacher, in the traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho discipline as handed down through generations by Sensei Mikao Usui. The venue for this 2-day workshop will be:
The Reiki Temple, LLC
Londonderry, NH
Class is limited to 10 students

Instead of Struggling to Survive...
Allow Yourself to Succeed!
Accessing Your Male Energy - a workshop for men
As men, too many of us were brought up with some version of the belief that life is tough, and a man's job is to struggle and persevere against it to survive. Many of us struggle to be successful at work, be good fathers, lovers, and financial providers. And yet no matter how hard we push, it often seems the universe pushes back just as hard. After pulling the wagon all day, instead of feeling inspired and energized, many men feel tired, empty, and lonely.
How is it then, that some men appear to have unlimited energy - and the whole world seems to open up to them? It's not that they do not face challenges, but they are just that, challenges, rather than insurmountable problems with which to toil and struggle. My experience is that these men have learned how to access and allow an unlimited well of male energy that is inherent in each of us. These men have learned how to tap into the power of the universe instead of fight against it.
In "Accessing Your Male Energy - a workshop for men," you will have an opportunity to explore your beliefs about struggling vs. allowing. You will, with the support of the men around you, learn how to tap into male energy in a way that is free and NOT about pulling the wagon one more mile.
If you would like to experience what it feels like to truly allow your power and bring that back into the world with you - allow yourself to sign up for this workshop, facilitated by Adrian Wilkins and Walter Bacigalupo. It may be an important step to accessing your male energy.
