As we explore the essence of a healing relationship, we also look deeply at the true causes of suffering. What is it that needs to be healed? How does healing happen? Information, tools and skills are provided, along with exercises so that the student can integrate the material into their everyday lives.
Some topics include:
Who is the Healer?
What Needs To Be Healed?

The Course focuses upon what is required to help another open to the wisdom, love and strength within

ZEN PLAY – ACTING ZEN
MAKING YOUR LIFE INTO A ZEN KOAN
Sunday, October 6
1:30-3:30
Manhattan
Problems that are inscrutable and do not have logical answers are called Zen Koans. They do not yield to reason and cannot be approached in the usual way.
Our lives as well, present all kinds of inscrutable problems, which we struggle with again and again. Despite that, we turn to our logical, rational minds to solve them. We create plans, strategies and hopes that only bind us further. Much of the time we end up stumped, caught in the same old responses again and again.
ZEN PLAY, MAKING YOUR LIFE INTO A ZEN KOAN, offers a completely different way, of being with challenges. Daily life constantly throws us koans, though we do not usually view them that way.
In this workshop we explore the heart of working with a Zen Koan, and then approach our own life challenges that way.
In the process we embody and act out both Zen and Daily Life koans, taking on each role in it, one after the next. As we do so, new perspectives and possibilities arise, and life no longer becomes one problem after another, but a joyous adventure to enjoy and explore.

Everyday Happiness
THE SIMPLE WONDER OF LETTING GO
Releasing and Moving Along
Usually much of our energy is devoted to holding onto feelings, people, memories and situations. Most of us feel that this keeps us safe, steady and secure. In fact, the opposite is true. The more we are able to let go, the steadier we become and the more able to access our inner wisdom. This then heals and harmonizes our life.
In this unique program, based upon The Sedona Releasing Method and the principles and practice or Zen, we learn how to free ourselves and others from stress, sorrow, loneliness, anger and confusion of all kinds. We are never hurt by what happens but by our reaction to it. By learning a unique way to release disturbing feelings, life is no longer a problem to be solved, but an adventure to welcome and enjoy. We are then able to handle all situations positively, build uplifting relationships and discover new possibilities for our lives.
DURING THE WORKSHOP YOU WILL
Dissolve Negative Emotions and Stress
Develop Resilience During Change
Connect With Your Innate Strength and Wisdom
Discover New Possibilities For Your Life
Develop Uplifting, Healthy Relationships
Find Your True Source of Security and Stability
Brenda is an original student of Lester Levenson, the creator of The Sedona Releasing Method. This workshop program combines both Zen principles with the Sedona Releasing Method.

RELATIONSHIPS AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
Relationships are a powerful spiritual practice. As we view each person who comes to us as a gift and as our teacher, we learn what it truly means to love. Many are often in the grip of counterfeit love, confusing attaching, yearning and possession with love. In this program we are introduced to steps which allow our relationships to breathe and to grow. We give up false expectations, develop parental mind and see what it means to truly nourish others and ourselves.
THE CONVERSATION
IT'S TIME WE HAD A TRUE CONVERSATION
The world addresses us daily. Whatever happens to us is part of the conversation and awaits our response. All the questions we struggle with have answers. All doubts can be easily allayed. What looks like conflict can be dissolved naturally, like mist floating off a lake. There is only one ingredient, however, which is crucial. The ability to truly listen to to truly respond.
This Conversation includes everyone. It requires that each speak their truly and learn to truly listen. True speaking and listening are not only a great art, they are the source of all healing. When we are available to one another without pretense and defense, but with a willingness to be open, miracles happen.
(This program is based upon Zen and the teachings of Martin Buber).
