Holistic Decision Making for Health and Improved Quality-of-Life
Date: April 9, 2006
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Location: Herne's Hollow at Seelie Court, north of Georgetown, DE
Cost: $75.00
In today's fast paced culture, we are often pressured to make decisions quickly. We do not feel we have time to fully consider all the facts, relationships or consequences of our decisions. Sometimes we are overwhelmed and paralyzed by the complexity of all that must be considered and our decision-making suffers, often leading to decisions we truly regret or cannot truly actualize.
This workshop teaches proven and reliable methods for including the wisdom of all aspects of the self - intellect, body, heart and spirit - in order to make the best decision possible. You will learn techniques and tools to systematically access your thoughts, feelings, resources and the relationships relevant to the issue or decision. We will apply the techniques as a group and individually. The ultimate goal is to provide you with the techniques and tools to slow down and enrich your decision making process, even under pressure, and help determine the option that leads to the highest quality-of-life.
Maximizing Your Healthy Life
Date: Thursday, April 20
Time: 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: Herne's Hollow at Seelie Court, north of Georgetown, DE
Cost: $20.00
We often hear about 'the healthy lifestyle' and 'quality of life', but what does it really mean? There are common elements for everyone, of course. Eat right. Exercise. Control Stress. Balance work and family. But what does all that really mean? How do you do it? The truth is that it is different for each person. What diet? Which exercise? When? How? The most common mistake made when trying to figure this all out is to mistake it for a simple scheduling problem. It is NOT just a matter of scheduling things from end to end of your day to fit it all in. Available resources, values and goals, environment, competing responsibilities, support networks and many other factors should be taken into account. Then a reasonably paced and achievable plan for moving to maximize health in your life, step-by-step, can be created and implemented.

Positive Mental Hygiene
Date: Thursday, May 25
Time: 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: Herne's Hollow at Seelie Court, north of Georgetown, DE
Cost: $20.00
Too many of us have loop tapes playing in our heads: past arguments; imagined conversations/events/arguments; critical parental voices; rude driving experiences; performance anxiety; negative self talk; the list can be nearly endless. Our inner voices can be so habitual and subtle that we don't even notice them anymore. But they are always talking and like anything that is repeated in the background long enough, we start believing its true. And it all gets in our way! Learning mental hygiene can free up a lot of brainpower, reduce stress induced chemical changes in the body, and create an environment where success and enjoyment are more likely to be experienced. Its like clearing the room of unneeded furniture before you start dancing! We will learn how to recognize it and correct it quickly!
