Experiential Trainings

Three years ago I was feeling pretty good about my life.

I was just finishing up my schooling and I was heading for a career that I thought could really make a difference in the world around me. My son on the other hand was an emotional wreck.
He was fighting depression and seeing himself as of little value. I felt helpless as a mother.
His friends however had the "perfect solution". They had this "training" that would help him to see life differently. All it would take is four days of his life and everything would be different.

I look back at how skeptical I was. All I saw was an organization that wanted some money for a temporary fix. I wasn't buying it at all. On my son's 21st birthday came into the room and annouced. "I am going into this training in December. My friends are paying for me to go".

When the four days were over I was amazed at what I say. My son had new live in him.
He enjoyed people and being in the world again. Now there was a part of me that was really worried. What were these people doing? As a worried parent I saw only one way to find out.
So in February 2006 I decided to see for myself.

Well as they say "The rest is history". Now I am creating my own experiencial training for families. It is an opportunity to truly look at how we do relationship within our family. Throughout this year I will be hosting guest events for you to get a taste of what experiential trainings are. Check here from more information and check out our website http://www.lovcol.com/

Heart of Peace is Acceptance

Do you find yourself asking: How do I create Peace?

Whether it is peace within your household, peace at work or simply peace within your own soul;
Sometimes it seems to be challenging to find that peace.

I believe the key to peace is accepting the world around you. I am not saying to give into those things that you find unacceptable. What I am saying is train yourself to simply accept what is at that moment. Instead of saying "If only", try acknowledging what is in that moment.

Example: Instead of saying "I could love you if only you would stop making me so mad"
Acknowledge that the behavior that you experience from that person upsets you and then go inside and discover what it is about yourself that that person reminds you of.

The truth is the only things that bother us about someones behavior is things that we don't want to see in ourselves. It is when I am in denial about that part within myself that seeing that behavior in others triggers anger and pain.
