Boundaries: The Vital Edge

Healthy boundaries are foundational to our well-being in all dimensions of our life – our physical, emotional, psychological, relational and our spiritual life.

Undefined, blurred boundaries lie at the root of tremendous unhappiness, for ourselves, others and the world around us.  Especially in the demanding times we are currently navigating, blurred boundaries compound our confusion, stress and frustration.

Clearly defined and skillfully expressed personal boundaries strengthen our capacity for living more compassionately, creatively, and with vitality in order to enjoy greater intimacy and clarity in our personal and work relationships.

This program is for people who want to:

• Know, embrace and express who you really are with strength and confidence
• Experience greater intimacy in relationship
• Have more compassion for yourself and others
• Become less intrusive and more aware of the boundaries of others
• Liberate your self from the exhaustion of being driven by perfectionism
• Free your self from the pressure of pleasing others or proving and justifying your self
• Discover, speak, and stand forth with your own thoughts, feelings and choices
• Be proactive and clear when creating new, healthy relationships, following experiences of abuse or violence in the past
• Free yourself from the experience of being trapped by roles, rules and obligations
• Gain a new perspective on allergies, chronic fatigue, depression and other symptoms

This dynamic three-day program combines teaching and experiential learning about discerning, defining and then effectively expressing your boundaries.   You will also learn about accountability and consequences for when an expressed boundary is not accepted or regarded.   For those who internalize boundary conflicts into an illness pattern, there will be an opportunity to explore and decipher the boundary being expressed through the symptom.

Edges arise any time self-images or beliefs are challenged.

How we deal with edges determines the quality and longevity of our relationships.  Staying present with whatever is arising, we discover an intrinsic equanimity and freedom, which allows us to access the natural state of open and effortless Being.  In this state we are able to more fully be with emotions, issues and thoughts without needing to avoid, exaggerate or minimize them.  Rashani
