Living Alive Phase II

The 25-day Living Alive programs offer you a chance to investigate who you really are and how you live your life. In a supportive and respectful environment, you will be offered experiences designed to heighten your awareness of your physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual self. The understanding you gain in these programs will enable you to make more informed decisions about yourself, your life and your relationships, and to live your life more fully.

The Living Alive programs are for people who:

• Want a deeper understanding of themselves
• Want to enrich the sources of meaning in their lives
• Feel stuck in old patterns of behaviour that are destructive or no longer useful
• Are at a point of change
• Want to engage more fully in their lives

People who take the Living Alive Phase programs have experienced transformation in their professional as well as personal lives. The programs provide take home tools to improve communication and relating, which can assist in conflict resolution, team building and leadership.

Living Alive Phases I and II are two parts of a whole and are normally taken in sequence. For participants who cannot take a full 25-day program at one time, the Phases can be taken in two parts, Part A and Part B. Part A must be taken before Part B.

Living Alive Phase II focuses on how we see ourselves, how other people see us, and the ways we establish and maintain our relationships. The program is designed to give you a deep experience of yourself as you interact with others, whether in close and intimate encounters or more casual ones.

During this program, you will have opportunities to:

• Discuss relationship issues such as commitment, dependence and independence, jealousy, vulnerability and defensiveness, security and self-discovery.
• Invite a person who is significant to you to enroll in a three-day section of the program, November 28 - December 1, 2012.  Course participants without an invited partner will work with a fellow participant from the Phase group.  For a fuller description of this section of Phase II see Relationships.
• Examine your relationship to gender, sexuality, sensuality, intimacy, spirituality, and personal strength through presentations, discussion, movies, and fantasy exercises.
• See yourself as others see you and to try out ways of presenting yourself. Extensive use of video and group feedback provides a rich source of information.

Format: This program involves extensive work in the large group, including time for self reflection, and work with partners, plus regular evening small group sessions. A wide range of activities is offered in a safe and respectful environment where personal choice is always respected. Participants also have the opportunity for individual appointments with the program leaders.

Note: Phase II Part B begins at 3pm on the first day.

Faculty: Cathy McNally, Ernie McNally
