Relationship as a Path of Awakening

Relationship as a Path of Awakening

Bruce Tift

April 26–28, 2013

Tuition $160 + 2 nights

Many of us feel deeply disconnected at times from ourselves, from others, and from life. Actually, it is impossible not to be fully intimate and connected at all times. Using relationships as a powerful vehicle for investigating this central human issue, we will explore how we create and maintain – and how we can dissolve – this vivid and painful appearance of disconnection. By pairing interpersonal tools, views from Western psychotherapy, and compassion generating practices of Buddhism, we can experience our relationships as a path of awakening. This program is for individuals, couples, therapists, or anyone interested in exploring their view of relationships and feelings of disconnection.
