Leading from the heart for Women

• Leading from the Heart for Women • Leading from the Heart for Men • Wisdom of Transformation •

Leading from the Heart for Women invites you to join other women who are working to integrate their personal and professional lives and to live from an awareness of their own truth. You will identify your inner resources and draw strength and inspiration from other women committed to similar goals.

In this 8-week intensive program (that meets 2.5 hours per week), you will be given the tools to challenge your attitudes and habits that do not serve you; to address your fears and to respond with courage; to define your standards for living your own truth; and to create a plan for making life-long changes toward realizing your vision. Program consists of 8 intensive weekly sessions, individual journaling assessments, and two individual coaching sessions with Cynthia. This program was started in 1998. Currently 500 women have participated!

The heart program for women is offered twice each year: January and August. The next program dates are as follows:

Tuesday mornings, Late August, 2008 (date to be determined); 8:00-10:30 a.m. (8 sessions)

Wednesday evenings, Late August, 2008 (date to be determined); 6:30-9:00 p.m. (8 sessions)

SPECIAL NOTE: Classes are normally held in January and August of each year. I am happy to do individual work (coaching, bodywork) with anyone who is interested in preparing themselves to get the very most out of the next class! Please e-mail or call 625-6103 to express interest and to receive the current class registration form, also.

A HEART-TO-HEART gathering will be held in August 2008. All interested women are invited. Click here for further information.

Weekly Leading from the Heart session topics include:

	Session 1: Accessing Your Truth In this session, we explore the meaning of heart consciousness and share our accomplishments and our past and current challenges.
	Session 2: Unlearning Behaviors that Do Not Serve You It is important to examine and challenge our assumptions about power, societal roles of women, and ways that we hold onto or let go of our roles. Are you living your life as a "script" written by someone else? If so, you may be forfeiting or sabotaging your own potential.
	Session 3: Addressing Your Fears With almost every fear, there is an implied desire. Until we name the fear and make peace with it, we will never achieve what we desire in a substantial way. In this session, we will discuss how to be with our fear without being overpowered by our fear.
	Session 4: Choosing Wisely and Living from Balance Heart living occurs when we have the courage to integrate simple truths of being into our lives. The more we live from a place of balance, the more we recognize that we do not have work lives, home lives, and community lives. When we choose to live our lives as a whole, with the same truths governing all parts, we experience deep satisfaction.
	Session 5: Being Powerfully in the Present Most of us live our lives in the future when we're young and in the past when we're adults. However, living in the present is the only way to access our power fully and to discover the real possibilities. Instead of focusing on what we don't have, we will discuss how to access what we do have, to commit, and to create powerful results.
	Session 6: Living with Conscious Intent It is important to recognize that if we live by reacting, we will do what we've always done and get what we've always gotten. Living with conscious intent asserts that we give up being driven by events and accept being guided by our vision and values. We will discuss ways to respond, rather than react, by consciously choosing openness, abundance, and flexibility.
	Session 7: Setting Your Standards According to Your Truth and Being Accountable Those who lead from the heart have a high level of self-awareness and accountability to both themselves and others. In this session, you will discover your truth, evaluate how you are achieving your vision, and will set standards that will allow you to move forward.
	Session 8: Claiming the Power of Heart Living To conclude our work, we will reflect on the eight-week process and examine our plans for moving forward by living from the heart. We will discuss ways to lead from who are as human beings in community with each other.
