Your participation

 

The skills that you learn in this series of workshops are equally effective for parents with children of all ages; for step-parents, single parents, foster parents, parents of different ethnic background, and parents with different amounts of formal education.

 

These skills also have proven to be unusually effective in helping older children change undesirable behaviours and overcome problems they're having at home or at school. This is also a preventative program that equally works for parents of very young children - those who have not yet developed behavioural problems.

 

This training will also increase the effectiveness of child care personnel and teaching or coaching professionals working with children of all ages.

 

This seriese of workshops can show you how to:

Listen so children will feel understood

Talk so children will understand you

Set family rules children will follow

Resolve conflict so nobody loses

Avoid blocking communication

Deal constructively with differences in priorities & values

 

This is normally an 8 week course where we meet each week. However, in this time poor world, I am breaking it up and making each skill into a half day workshop which will stand on it's own and also combining it with a technique (EFT) that will help transform your blocks to becoming a peaceful parent. Each workshop cost will be $75 per person or $80 per couple. The workshop will be limited in participant size to allow for a quality workshop experience where you can easily ask questions.

 

For those of you living interstate or unable to get a babysitter for the workshop, these workshops will also be run online. No special software will be required.

 

 

Peaceful Parenting Workshop 1 - THE Nbr 1 ESSENTIAL SKILL

If you can't commit to all of the workshops, this is the one you must attend. It is the one skill that could save your relationship with your partner or children, it can also prevent your child from running away and living a homeless life. Sounds important I hope! Well it is... it's listening.

 

Listening is not just about keeping your mouth closed, it's an involved process that requires practice and most importantly, the ability to really hear what the message is without reacting to the words or the way it's delivered. That's what makes it so hard! And that's why I am combining this with a simple technique that will help you if you react or feel that you are going to (as a preventative measure).

 

In this workshop we will learn:

  • The benefits of listening and how powerful true listening can be
  • How to listen with your heart and not your ego/hurt
  • How you can uncover what is really happening in your child's life and not just how they are behaving
  • How listening creates an amazing bond with your child which is mirrored back to you
  • How you can save your child from years of therapy, bad relationships and unhappiness by helping them release their feelings early
  • What to do when you feel overwhelmed or hurt by what you are hearing

 

Total cost for this workshop is $75 per person or $80 per couple. Bookings are essential and places are limited (to ensure I can give you a quality training experience numbers are restricted, even with the online course). To book, use the contact form to send an email to Vanessa and you'll receive information about dates and how to put down your deposit.

7 Reasons Why You Should Deal with Your Stress

It prevents weight loss! Your body reacts as if it’s under attack so it holds onto excess weight to ensure you have the energy to get away.

It suppresses your digestive system! Stress creates imbalance in your bodies systems, prevents nutrient absorption and creates problems.

Create a Life You'd Love 2 Live

 

If you have a goal but don't know how to obtain it, or, if you are not feeling inspired about your life right now, then this is the workshop for you! This workshop is truly transformational!Writing your goals is one of those things that you either mean to do but never seem to or you do and yet don't follow through. The brain is a powerful tool which can be under utilised when it comes to creating and achieving your goals. The heart is another area essential to creating your goals as it's not clouded by doubts or fears. In this workshop you will be guided to identifying what is truely important to you, weeding out the "should's" and "shouldn'ts", to allow you to focus on what is right for you. This is not the time to be selfless, it is essential that you put yourself first to ensure you are able to be there for others. That's why on airplanes they tell you to attach the emergency oxygen mask to your face before helping others. This workshop will also help identify what stops you from achieving your goals and provides you with a tool to clear them. At the end you will have a clear action plan and a visual goals board to allow your brain to go into action. This workshop is conducted in two parts over two weekends (to allow for further work inbetween).

 

Part 1 Saturday 15 October 1 - 4pm:

 

  • Identify what's important to you and what beliefs are getting in the way of you having it

  • We'll identify all of your goals and then focus on one area in your life to set goals in (this process can be replicated for other areas)

  • You'll be able to clearly see what your goal looks like when you have it

  • Use a powerful meditation process to create an unconscious desire to achieve it by the date you set

 

Part 2 Saturday 22 October 9am - 12noon:

 

  • Create a vision board around your goals (you will need to bring with you scissors, glitter, stickers any old magazines to be used for cutting images out)

 

Vision boards are a powerful and proven tool for manifesting your goals! So get excited and bring your friends! Cost of workshop is just $50 for the two sessions. Bookings are limited to ensure participants get the most opportunities and space to create in. Location will be determined closer to the date.
