Come Alive

Grow, Transform and Connect

In order to live fully, we must access our life energy. When we do this, we can reconnect with our creativity and aliveness and deepen our relationships with ourselves and with others. Come Alive is an opportunity to unblock your energy, discover your resources and realise your full potential in both your personal and professional life. If you are seeking health in mind, body and spirit, and want to create more fulfilling relationships, then Come Alive is for you.

Come Alive is the first program most people take at The Haven. Created more than 25 years ago by The Haven's founders Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen, Come Alive remains as impactful as ever, providing understanding and experience that will allow you to transform your life.

Come Alive is for you if you want to

• Know yourself better and experience life more fully
• Feel more deeply, and respond to your feelings in a productive way
• Develop health in body, mind, and spirit
• Learn to communicate effectively
• Enhance your sense of meaning in life
• Have healthy, loving and fulfilling relationships

Format: Participants learn and practice the Haven models of communication, relationship and self-responsibility and are offered a range of opportunities for personal learning. Work is done in the group as a whole and in smaller groups in the evenings. In addition to group activities and discussions, each participant is offered a time for individual experience in large or small group sessions, including breath and body work, gestalt, psychodrama and other forms.

People who take Come Alive have experienced transformation in their professional as well as personal lives. Come Alive provides take home tools to improve communication and relating, which can assist in conflict resolution, team building and leadership. If you would like your employer or professional body to support your taking Come Alive, you may find this description of the program useful. 

Faculty: Come Alive is led by Haven core faculty members, who are among the most gifted leaders, educators and group facilitators in the world. They have all trained at The Haven and have many years' experience leading Come Alive and other programs.
