Living Alive Phase I

The Living Alive (Phase) programs offer the unique experience of time, space, and guidance to help you (re)discover who you truly are. For 25 days, you’ll have the opportunity to create and establish new or different patterns for conscious living. The focus for Living Alive I is self-awareness – becoming aware of your individual patterns of behaviour and energy. The focus for Living Alive II is relationships – how you see yourself, how other people see you, and how you engage relationally.

In a highly experiential and choice-based environment, you’ll immerse yourself in The Haven’s models and concepts, with opportunities to go deeper, practice, and expand your range of being. Participants are encouraged to question their assumptions, explore their beliefs, and challenge their patterns of thought and behaviour in a respectful and safe container. Join a community of seekers and engage in the ultimate experience of self-discovery and transformation.

Living Alive (Phase) program Highlights:

• An in-depth opportunity to engage more consciously and fully in your life and relationships.
• Time away to reconnect with yourself and nature on The Haven’s beautiful 7-acre oceanfront property.

“I can have meaningful, alive relationships without denying or disconnecting from what is true in my mind, body, heart. I can be transparent and open about my reality, and thus open the bridge to knowing another. This is the kind of stuff my dreams are made of.”

Living Alive FAQ:

• Living Alive immersion programs can be taken in two 12-day parts. Sometimes work, family, or other commitments don’t allow for 25 days away. We’ve designed the programs to be effective in 2 stages as well. Part A must be taken first, followed by Part B.
• Living Alive II can be taken before Living Alive I. Initially, these programs (referred to as Phase I and Phase II) were imagined as a series. There is still a benefit to progressing through them in order, yet each is highly relevant and engaging as a standalone program.
• Living Alive I or II can be your first Haven programs. Many people begin with our 5-day Come Alive program and are enthusiastic to continue their learning. Others get a taste of Haven-style programming through a Toolkit, other program, or trusted referral. Some start with a 25-day deep dive. If you have any questions about which program is right for you, please contact our experienced registration team: 1.800.222.9211 x1 or register@haven.ca
• Financial Aid can help. We offer simple payment plans, scholarships, and partial bursaries to help you finance your investment in yourself. Don’t let program fees hold you back. Learn more.
