Autogenic Training
A powerful technique for letting go of tension and preparing the body for psychological integration. It teaches how to use your intrinsic body resources to quiet the inner mind, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure & heart rate, and promote restful sleep. An enduring method to bring inner peace.

Integral Transformative Practice
Taken from the book THE LIFE WE ARE GIVEN by George Leonard and Michael Murphy. It is a comprehensive set of exercises, meditation, intentional affirmations, and deep relaxation that can be performed at home in forty minute segments. The practice addresses body, mind, heart, and soul. Changes that result from consistent practice of ITP are exceptional and metanormal.

Warm Fuzzy Workshops
A Warm Fuzzy Workshop is a place where people come to reach out – and find – other people. The time frame is three hours. In that span people are able to drop their facades, their defenses and incorporate new ideas for being with friends, family, even strangers.

To begin the session I give brief explanations of “strokes” (the recognition and stimulus we all need from others.)

The good strokes are colloquially known as “WARM FUZZIES”

The not-so-good strokes are “PLASTIC FUZZIES” or “COLD PRICKLIES”

HERE’S WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Sometimes people are reluctant to ask directly for what they want or need. Or they may feel foolish talking about their own good points. Or they may give other people strokes (a compliment, a smile, a quick “Atta Girl!” or “Atta Boy!”) but secretly expect something in return.

HERE’S WHAT WE WILL DO

The workshop is about ACTION more than listening to the leader. The exercises we do reveal some of these patterns (above) and give people new options to reverse them. They are different in each workshop. We practice new skills, new ways of relating and giving to others. We do some non-threatening touching. We do a lot of laughing and giggling, because we have fun learning new ways to cope. Sometimes we draw or print. Mainly we all (me included) come away feeling better about ourselves and not so isolated.

You’re invited to join us JUNE 14, 1 – 4 P.M. at the MOUNTAIN PARK RECREATION CENTER.

Warm Fuzzies are free, but because the space is not, there is a sliding fee scale charge of $8 -- $10 per person for this three hour workshop. Register ahead by sending your check to
