Join me for an experiential introduction to the theory and practice of Voice Dialogue work. Come first, to deepen your own personal journey of self awareness, let others reasons follow.
Voice Dialogue is a method and a psychological framework for experiencing and integrating all parts of our human potential. Voice Dialogue facilitation is process in which a person identifies and directly experiences various parts of him/herself (with the aid of the facilitator) with the ultimate aim of both fully accepting and yet paradoxically dis-identifying with them, to liberate our ego from reactive, habitual and unconscious patterns of behavior. As an elegant self-awareness process, it fosters acceptance, compassion and true free will. It is used by professionally by counselors, coaches, leaders and personally, by those who are on a deliberate consciousness journey. It is used for short term crisis resolutions as well as an orientation and practice for one's on-going psycho-spiritual journey.
This program will include teaching, shared exercises and each person will get one Voice Dialogue facilitation. All facilitations are considered teaching sessions, so all will be open for observation as well. We can benefit nearly as much from watching a facilitation as from being in one.
