Getting a Taste of What You Deserve?!
A What's Next?! Workshop 1- day Event

"Deserving is a funny word, isn't it?  My grandmother used to say, ‘someday he'll get what he deserves,’ as a commentary on someone who, in her opinion, had just earned a karmic whiplash.  But I think her negative perspective on deserving doesn't honor the most essential premise.  We all deserve love, connection, success, happiness, as well as our feelings of sadness, anger, and fear.  It's a human entitlement - part of the experience of being," says Joanne Lutz, co-creator of What's Next?! Workshop

Why is it, then, that we so often believe that we have to earn the right to be happy, loved, sad, etcetera, or that we have no right to it at all?  Why can we accept that others deserve these things, but not us? 
 
This dismissal of ourselves is learned.  And like anything we learn, when new information comes to light, we have the opportunity to change our minds and our way of approaching the world.  As part of the What’s Next?! Workshop program, Jamie Thurber and Joanne Lutz have created a one-day class devoted to exploring these ways that we hold ourselves back and the concept of deserving. 
 
This experiential class will explore what we've learned, how we respond when we feel we do or don't deserve something, and begin to forge a new pathway - a truth within - that we are deserving, even if we don't always get what we need.

Getting a Taste of What You Deserve?! is a self-contained class offered through the What's Next?! Workshop program, which is a Consciousness Collaborative event.  It's perfect for someone stuck in an old paradigm of belief that you have to "pay your dues, " "give yourself away," or “don’t deserve” love, connection, and happiness.

Whether you are a What's Next?! Workshop program alum who's been waiting for a continuation of the series or a curious wallflower wondering how the six-month series operates and what it may offer you - this class will serve you well.

November 2010
Emotional Re-Education Workshop
Weekend Retreat of Self Discovery 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.

Friday, November 12th - 6:30pm - Sunday, November 14th - 6pm
