记录 Recording | 青年領導力 Youth Leadership

With 李文淑 Wen-Shwu Lee  and 傑米森 Jamison Schulz-Franco

Open Dates
通常我們會以我們所做的工作,我們的交友圈,或是我們的專業成就來定義自己。我們常被告知,年輕正是成長和改變的關鍵時期!我們也被期待著,在兼顧無數其他任務的『同時,』我們不要錯失了這關鍵的年輕時刻!現在加上當今政治和社會的動盪,抗爭衝突,以及全球疫情蔓延,年輕族群的生活真的變成了壓力,而不再是樂趣!無論清晰與否,我們對生活總有願景,我們規劃著如何向世界、向家人,或是向我們的伴侶證明自己。然而,面對這種種喘不過氣的壓力,學校與社會教育給年輕人的,似乎只是讓我們精進在個人的專業科目上,並沒有真正引導我們如何向內看,與自己的情感連結,面對失敗挫折,或者如何建立親密關係。在不了解自己的前提下,我們又怎麼知道自己想要什麼?~ So often we define ourselves by our jobs, our friend groups, our occupations and our accomplishments. As young people we are told that we are in a crucial period of growth and change, yet the expectation is that we do that while managing a thousand other tasks, all at once. When you pile on political and social upheaval, war and conflict, and a worldwide pandemic, life can become more of a stress than a pleasure. Whether we know it or not, we have a vision for our lives, mapping out how we want to prove ourselves to the world, to our families and to our partners. In school we are told about all of the careers that we may follow to fulfill us, but we are not taught how to check-in with our emotional center, how to face our failures or frustrations, or how to be intimate with others. How are we supposed to know what we want in our lives, without truly knowing ourselves first?

Grieving: Endings, Losses and Change

With Linda Nicholls

April 18 - 21, 2024
In Person at The Haven
Whether transitions are planned or unpredicted, whether changes are chosen or beyond our control, they are endings demanding that we leave people, things, places, or a way of life behind. Through a range of experiential forms, including the creative use of ceremony, you will learn about the grieving process and have the opportunity to release the grip that the impact of your losses has on your heart, your mind, your body, your feelings, your life.

Anger, Boundaries and Safety

With Greg Gurel

April 18 - 21, 2024
In Person at The Haven
This program offers participants opportunities to both express and witness the safe and boundaried expression of anger. This is helpful for people who have previously expressed their anger violently and no longer want to do this. It is also crucial for people who say they never get angry or, perhaps because of early experiences of violence, avoid any hint of anger today. For both these groups of people, emotional, physical and relationship dysfunction may have resulted. This program will open up exciting new possibilities for you, whatever experiences of anger and/or violence you have had until now.

Restoring Wholeness

With Graemme Brown and Karla Osborne

April 22 - 26, 2024
Wholeness: “soundness, health, and well-being in body, mind, soul and spirit.” We would further add: The felt sense of our emotional and psychological sturdiness, self-worth, self-acceptance, and a fruitful connection to others and the world. Traumatic shame is the primary barrier to wholeness, inhibiting connection, growth and learning. In this program we will explore shame resilience tools and reconnect with our inner resources and strengths necessary for living fully.

ONLINE: Group Check-in - April 25th

April 25, 2024
Are any of these statements true for you? ~ I sometimes feel isolated and alone. ~ It's important to me to be heard and acknowledged. ~ Hearing about other people's experiences helps me feel connected. ~ I want to learn more about the Haven or practice the skills I've learned. ~ I benefit from reminders and accountability to check in with myself and prioritize my wellbeing.

Resilience is not merely the ability to endure difficulty: Rather, it is the conscious use of our resources as well as the desire to get back up and dust ourselves off after a set-back or a loss. It is nurturing the faith in ourselves to locate and utilize our innate skills to move beyond just surviving and into thriving and wholeness. In this workshop we will explore how to re-connect with our innate resilience via the ‘felt-sense’ approach, combining a diverse range of modalities.
