Keeping the Love You Find - Singles Workshop
What is a Key Imago Principle?
A key Imago principle states that human beings have an unconscious yearning for partnership and a need for wholeness and connection. While singlehood can be very difficult if you are experiencing loneliness, rejection and painful relationships, it can also be a time of self-discovery and personal growth. It is a chance to get to know what your relational style is, how that relational style may be connected to what was unfinished for you in your childhood and to become conscious of how you carry that style to every relationship. This will empower you to focus on what you can change in yourself to avoid painful repetitions of the past. When you do the internal work on understanding yourself, you become healthier and more mature emotionally, and you will be better able to recognise and choose a healthier and more emotionally mature partner with whom to have a long-term committed relationship.
Confidentiality and emotional safety within the group is a priority throughout the workshop. While this work is conducted in groups, it is not group therapy. The workshop incorporates lectures, demonstrations, written exercises, visualisations and dialogues.
This workshop is for you if you are:
» would like a deeper understanding of yourself;
» would like to understand what is needed to create and sustain a healthy intimate relationship;
» are in a new relationship that you would like to keep;
