Work is an important part of one’s life purpose, yet so many people are working in organizations where they don’t feel their efforts have any meaning. The many complex problems in our world today will require a greater level of consciousness on the part of businesses as well as individuals. For these reasons, it’s important to start to look at work and the workplace in a different way.

Mindfulness and attitude adjustments toward living in a state of nature is the focus of this introductory workshop for a course on wilderness living skills, including attitudes toward living in nature, materials and clothing, basic shelter building techniques, water acquisition, fire building, food acquisition, navigation and protocols if you are lost, and how not to freeze to death, find water and stay alive!

Evening - This evening's introduction into the origins of BodySoul Rhythms®, a quarter of a century after its inception, will provide participants with an opportunity to learn about and share the experience of “subtle body” in their own life. What does the body as “that portion of Soul discerned by the five senses” mean to you now, how does “Body Awareness” appear in your dreams, and what are your preferred ways of nurturing and expressing your personal body-soul hunger? How do you encounter and befriend “shadow” elements?

The traditions of humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, transpersonal and somatic psychology have a long history affirming the complex holism of the human experience. These 'alternatives' to manualized, outcome oriented therapies have a substantial academic and professional history, integrating the complex dimensions of being human. How do we bring each individual into full presence? How do we integrate this clinical knowledge into 21st century psychotherapy?

Join us as we rally to affirm the 'gems' of these traditions within the political 'setting' of the new legislation for psychotherapy regulation in Ontario.
