Love
and Relationship

In these seminars we will explore the essence of love.
Through deep experiences and investigation we will uncover
the difference between real love and all the layers of conditioning
and protection that hinder us to truly open to love. Through
meditations and exercises you will be able to awaken to
your hearts fullness and its flavor, acceptance. This transformational
process creates an entirely different way of relating -
with yourself, your lover, your family, your work and creativity.

LOVE AND ALONENESS |

This is an
intense 4day group process that will allow you to look at
issues and conditionings that you have around love. Especially
in relating with other people we get easily hurt and learn
from our early childhood to build a wall of protection around
our hearts in order to be able to survive. Today all these
layers of protection are in the way from us being able to
give or receive love.
Because we are afraid of being hurt, rejected, abandoned,
misunderstood, manipulated etc. we separate ourselves from
the other and cutoff from our deeper feelings, to withdraw
into a space of inner isolation that we then call aloneness.
It is an aloneness that comes out of separation and for sometime
may feel like a relief but mostly moves into a deep inner
sense of loneliness or emptiness. We often mistake this state
for independence or meditation when infect it is an escape
of the basic pain of separation. Rejection or abandonment
in any form from the outside just triggers the disconnectedness
with ourselves, our hearts and therefore with existence, God,
the master.
We first need to see what is in the way of us reconnecting
with true love before we can experience true aloneness. Through
the loving atmosphere and intensity of this process there
is an opportunity to expose the layers around your heart and
from a place of vulnerability to experience aloneness that
is not cut off and includes a connectedness to yourself and
the divine. |

"Love
brings always aloneness, aloneness brings always love.
Loneliness is like a wound.
Aloneness is like a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart.
It is a joy of being yourself.
Real lovers give each other freedom to be alone."
- Osho

LOVE, WILL AND TRUST |
| |
| Click

In this process
we will look at our own trust and ability to live our lives
and to love. Sometimes we get a glimpse what love really means,
but we don't have the strength and the ability to stand up
for it and feel enough support on the inside so that we can
„walk it through". It's as if we miss our inner
backbone and our strength to just be. Out of this disconnection
comes a feeling of deep inner fear and anxiety. In order not
to feel that we compensate by effort and putting on a false
will, and with that we loose the contact to ourselves, the
natural flow of life and to the divine will.
Love has to do with the courage to open my heart and give
and receive. And the true will has to do trust in ourselves
and in Life, and the inner support to be grounded in our own
center and body and having the strength to surrender to a
bigger flow, even if it doesn't always go as i want it. It's
a surrender to something higher and much bigger then just
me.the surrender to life's flow. With it comes a great feeling
of Trust.
In this seminar we will work with dyads and exercises that
will initiate and help to strengthen this energy. Instead
if fighting against ourselves we learn to accept certain parts
of our true essential being, that will help us to build a
bridge between love and trust and between spirituality and
our daily life's.
The work consists of self inquiry, and an understanding from
moment to moment that orients itself in the love for truth.
This openness and acceptance of what is, creates a field of
awareness and is needed to rediscover new and maybe forgotten
aspects of our being. |

"The
morning wind spreads its fresh smell
We must get up and take that in,
that wind that lets us live.
Breathe before it is gone.
Dance , when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in the middle of your blood.
Dance, when your`re perfectly free. "
- Rumi

LOVE AND THE SHADOW |
| |
| Click

In this process
we deal with our ability to love and open up . We have a look,
why so often when we become intimate, or we are very close
to our beloved's, or friends, suddenly a dark unconscious
part appears, that sabotages ,frightens and terrorizes us.
Often love turns into hatred and self doubt. We find an inner
resistance and defensiveness, that we use to hide behind.
And when we want to come out again, we often don't know how
to do that, and are stuck in our inner feeling of isolation
anger and pain. We judge this dark side in us, we condemn
it and try to push it away, and deny it's existence. Pushed
into the dark it takes revenge in an unconscious way, by extreme
self - hatred, and an anger that acts out in destructive ways,
sometimes even makes us sick and hurts us and others.
Through bringing light to that part in us, we discover, that
it is a great power that lies in the depth of our being. If
we learn to accept the origin of that energy, and learn how
to treat it with understanding and friendliness, this energy
can relax, and transform into a deep feeling of inner peace
and completeness.
This power has a great force and intensity, and if accepted,
embraced and deeply understood can bring an inner feeling
of peace, silence, depth and intuition. It is the essence
of truth and inner protection.
In this process we will work with Dyads, self-inquiry, meditations
and exercises. It will create a field of experience, where
you can experience a space of deep acceptance, understanding
and compassion and out of it comes an opening to a deeper
love, that integrates love and hatred, male and female, the
good and the bad, and darkness and light, both aspects of
life. |

"And
truth is a potential power, a great power. Even if a fragment,
just a deed of truth, falls into your heart, sooner or later
you will become the Garden of Eden. It cannot be avoided."

LOVE, DEVOTION AND INDIVIDUALITY |

When we are
born we come in contact with our true being- our essence.
One of these aspects of essence we find in our first months
in a symbiotic melting with the mother. It is a pleasurable,
sweet, melting Love. We are content, happy and in peace. A
bit later in our development we learn to stand on our own
feet. We develop strength, self-worth, joy, and other aspects
of our personal essence. With the growing up, we often have
to let go of mother and with it we loose connection to that
sweet symbiotic feeling of love, and with it we often feel
that melting love disappears out of our lives. We are left
with a feeling of emptiness, deficiency, and inadequateness.
Later on we try to find this melting sweet symbiotic state
in our lives through partnership, work, knowledge, power etc.
We hope that our partner or work for instance will fill that
hole. We think we can fill that hole only through the outside
and we forget that we are Love, and have it all inside.
We find ourselves in dependencies, that make it difficult,
to develop our individuality. We believe that we can only
love, and be loved, if we give ourselves up, or by loosing
ourselves in the other. Or we withdraw into aloneness and
cut off, to have a feeling of individuality. In both cases
we deep down feel frustrated and dissatisfied, and we are
in fear and pain.
Through objective understanding self-inquiry, meditations
and exercises we will create an opportunity to discover deep
respect for your own essence, and so find love inside of us.
This love is independent from the outside, and might be retrieved
as our source.
Only through deep respect and reverence, and the willingness
to open up and be vulnerable and without defensiveness, can
devotion and at the same time individuality arise in a relationship.
In a field of deep acceptance you can open and love yourself
and the other. Love and devotion can flow-a love where you
don't loose yourself, but at the same time you can stand on
your own feet. The discovery of these different qualities
of essence brings a deep sense of fulfillment and integration. |

This intensive
4 days starts with the feeling - inquiry into the openness
of what we already are. From our heart felt sense of being
we will journey into an exploration of male and female identities.
We will explore the divine aspect of it and with it comes
also the shadow side of male and female roles that we embody.
Out of our embodiment of Shiva and Shakti there will be a
different and new meeting possible, between man and woman.
In an atmosphere of meditation and love there will be a ground
were you can play, experiment and retrieve new aspect of your
natural being.
A lot of the time will be spent in silence together, so that
we can go
beyond habitual patterns of social relating and conversations.
We will do exercises that will help you to open your body,
heart and soul and learn to communicate, relate and discover
true and authentic ways to open yourselves to others, to love
and to deeper aspects of your being. |

ART OF DYING: LIVING TO THE MAX |
| |
| Click

One of our
main fears is around death and letting go. Death shows us
very clearly, that we are not in control of the situation,
we don't know when we die, and we don't know how we will
die. This leads to deep seated fears, that we will face in
this process. The meeting with death is a challenge, to face
how we live and what is unfinished in our lives. Do we really
love? Do we really live , what we came here for? Are we really
fulfilled with the way how we live our lives? And if I would
die right now, am I really ready for it, is the mirror of
my heart really polished and shiny?
These are the questions that will come up, and that we deal
with in this process. Death is a possibility to say good
bye , maybe through letting go of a loved one, or through
letting go of your parents. It is a possibility to learn
to let go of old ideas and concepts , of old feelings that
you haven't forgiven yourself or somebody else for. Death
is an amazing door into learning to wake up into this moment,
and live this life, in every moment as if it would be the
last. It is a possibility to learn to celebrate life, and
enjoy the enfoldments of it, even if it is not always as
you would want it to be. It is a deep recognition that we
are here now and can trust the deep flow of the river of
our life.
This process will be mostly in silence, and held in a very
retreat like atmosphere. we will do meditations, and will
do some work around unfinished business, and forgiveness
to bring our life to completion, and at the same time being
able to life live to its fullest.
It creates a new quality of living that will lead us directly
to the heart and to love. |

"If
metal can be polished
To a mirror-like finish-
What polishing does the mirror
Of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart
Is this single difference:
The heart conceals secrets
While the mirror does not."

In these days
we will in a very soft and gentle way looking at new ways
to approach shock and trauma. You will learn a very healing
and gentle way to deal with yourself in it.
The 1 . step is to discover that you are in a traumatic activation.
And the second step is learning to track the Sensations in
the body, and discover resources, that will enable you to
slowly slowly face the traumatic situation. Traumatic experiences
are held in the body, and only through bodily awareness can
they dissolve and heal.
A psychic trauma is an event that overruns the stimulus of
the body and provokes a deep feelings of helplessness, that
is affecting the nervous system. Through rediscovering our
felt sense in our bodies, can we find again a place of safety
in our body, and so slowly start to dissolve the trauma.
Its i a very healing process, where you learn how to unwind
the frozenness , complete the fight and fight responses, and
reconnect with your orienting response, so that you can again
trust your bodies responses. And thus find a way of healing
and aliveness again.
Mostly we will work with the work of Dr. Peter Levine. He
discovered very important tools and skilful means that are
very important in the work with trauma . this process is very
soft and very gentle, we will do some meditations and some
gentle body work that will support the healing process.
What you will learn:
Connecting with your own resources
Working in a relaxed atmosphere
looking at boundaries and starting to accept them
not to push, but to let things evolve in its own way
trusting the body opening yourself up to states of being,
relaxation, and meditation a deeper understanding of how trauma
is created and what it does to us understanding of Dissociation
and frozenness centring in body learning that the healing
process takes it times, and trust that. trusting your resources
not only for trauma but also for your life. |

Through
Love all that is bitter
becomes sweet
Through love all that is copper
becomes gold
Through Love all dregs will turn
to purest wine;
Through Love all pain becomes medicine.
Through Love the dead become alive,
Through Love the king becomes a slave.

In this group
we will explore females issues, that are almost every women's
themes today. As many women have been rejecting their bodies
so strongly, we are going to work with the body, and see what
is in the way of love and acceptance. There are so many ideas
of what it means to be a woman, and these ideas are stifling
us, and keep us from discovering our true nature. To be in
a feminine body is a great gift! The feminine body is full
of life, sensuousness, intuitiveness, softness and strength,
so how can we learn to accept and appreciate it, without somehow
becoming like men? By discovering the precious gift that we
have inside.
We will look at beliefs of unworthiness, codependancy, and
different kinds of identities, that keep hindering us in living
the female potential .
We will face issues around competition, jealousy, and envy,
that hinder us, to respect each other, and look at our way
of being focused at men only, and seeing ourselves through
their eyes, and thus give our power away , and allow endless
abuse.
We will also have to deal with our shadowside, the kali aspect
of the feminine, that is live giving but also life destroying.,
and negative. Through awareness and courage we might be able
to face these unconscious aspects in ourselves. Through sharings
an atmosphere of trust and honesty is created , that might
enables us to look and to feel what actually is underneath
all these issues, and explore what is our true feminine essence.
We'll do some body opening structures , meditations and exercises
that help us to open and to expand into new areas. |

"Today,
the reason we haven't found our grail, the key to who we are
as women, is because we look for it in worlds of false power,
the very worlds that took it away from us in the first place.
Neither men nor work can restore our lost scepter. Nothing
in this world can take us home. Only the radar in our hearts
can do that, and when it does, ... 'We will light up like
lamps, and the world will never be the same again."
- Marianne Williamons

AND WOMEN ON THE PATH OF LOVE |

This
is an advanced group for people that have already participated
in the Path of Love. The intention is to use the approach
of POL to take an in-depth look at masculine and feminine
issues.
How we approach our spiritual path, how we realize our
true nature and how we express ourselves in both, our
spiritual and material lives has much to do with the
clarity, confidence and relaxation we have about being
a man or a woman.
This group is for people that want freedom from old
patterns of relationship and want to live their deepest
potential in love. It is an invitation to meet in honesty
and respect; to learn to support each other to realize
our potential rather than being caught in patterns of
negative merging, unworthiness, shame, competition and
envy.
This process is born from the sincere longing to find
and live truth. It will be supported by love and conducted
in an atmosphere of depth, honesty and devotion. It
is a place to explore issues of the masculine and feminine
as well as patterns of relationship in a context of
longing for the Beloved.

In diesem
Prozess setzen wir uns mit unserer Liebesfähigkeit auseinander
und schauen, warum so oft wenn es ganz intim und nah wird
in einer Beziehung oder mit Freunden, da plötzlich eine
dunkle Seite auftaucht, die uns erschreckt und unangenehm
ist. Oft kommt aus Liebe Hass, und eine innere Abwehr, hinter
der wir uns verstecken, und aus der wir dann oft nicht mehr
hinaus koennen. Wir urteilen diese dunkel Seite, und versuchen
sie weg zu schieben , und zu verneinen.
Durch Bewusstwerdung und Aufdecken dieser inneren Kraft, lernen
wir sie zu akzeptieren, und lernen vorsichtig damit etwas
liebevoller und achtsamer umzugehen. Diese Kraft hat eine
ungeheure Macht, und wenn angenommen, bringt sie tiefen innerlich
Frieden, Stille und einen Zugang zu unserer Intuition.Es ist
die Essenz der Wahrheit und des inneren Schutzes.
In dieser Gruppe arbeiten wir mit Dyaden, Übungen und
Selbst Erforschung. Es wird ein Feld geschaffen, wo du dich
tief erleben kannst, und ein Raum entsteht von tiefer Akzeptanz,
Verständniss, Mitgefuehl und damit die Oeffnung zur Liebe.
