Building Trust

My spiritual teacher, Yogi Bhajan, taught that our primary relationship (marriage in particular) is the highest form of yoga available for our personal growth. The Relationships as Yoga workshops are designed to explore how we can use our relationship experiences as a powerful mirror to connect to the most valuable and cherished parts of ourselves and ultimately to God, and this is the basis for taking a stand for a fulfilling relationship. The topic for this workshop at Aurora Healing Arts will be “Building Trust”. When people honor each other, there is a trust established that leads to synergy, interdependence, and deep respect. Trust can be built in relationship when each person can safely be honest and vulnerable to better navigate conflicts to create harmonious solutions. What is in your power to foster such safety? We will delve into this question.

The format for this primarily workshop will be primarily group discussion and group coaching.

The strategies for living which we will explore include:

1. Courageous self-inquiry: Using all of your relationship experiences, especially triggers, as opportunities for deeper self-understanding and ultimately, moving closer to your higher self.

2. Empowered responsibility: It’s easy to point the finger, but looking inward is where you gain the power and freedom to put your soul back in the driver’s seat.

3. Open-hearted Integrity: There is nothing more satisfying than living, acting, and responding in alignment with your deepest values in a spirit of trust and detachment. This sets you up for true fulfillment in the relationship because you’re not depending on your partner to be in your integrity.

These ingredients combine for an unending journey of self-discovery that empowers you to turn any situation in your relationship into trust-building connection with yourself, your partner, and with the Divine. Personally, without these, I quickly succumb to my old habits of powerlessness, stuckness, and hopelessness.
Since I have been blessed to receive and practice this strategy for living, I am wholeheartedly devoted to sharing these life changing keys with people who are ready to take responsibility for themselves – whether they are struggling in relationship or are wanting to build on their successes. It takes two people to perpetuate an unfulfilling dynamic and just one person to choose to step out of it. What will you choose?

Price: $20 per person, $35 per couple
