50% Of All Marriages Will End In Divorce. This survey by the National Center for Health in 2002 excludes California, Colorado, Indiana and Louisiana, which do not keep tract of divorce statistics.

With ever growing grim divorce rate statistics, it is no wonder why people are so afraid to get involved in relationships, especially if they have already gone through one divorce, lost half of their community wealth in the process and now, live as single parents dependent on obligated to child support payments.What went wrong?

Learn about The Nine Traps Of Unconscious Loving that undermine the loving in your relationships and about the heart & soul-centered communication skills that will allow you to resolve conflicts peacefully, build mutual respect, trust and empowerment and create co-commitment rather than co-dependent relationships. - FREE to customers of Pharmaca.

Commitment To Love
12- Week Course In Heart & Soul-Centered Communication Skills
Scheduled In 4-Session Modules

The group class is an affordable opportunity for individuals and couples to learn valuable life skills that were never taught in school or at home. It is for people who recognize their old ways of relating to others are no longer serving their relationship goals and who are serious about effecting positive changes in their life to create harmonious and long lasting relationships, both for personal, family and professional success.

Each class creates a safe, supportive and loving atmosphere for singles and couples to come together and experience renewed appreciation and compassionate understanding for one self and each other.

The 12-week course and on-going classes are scheduled privately and held locally in Brentwood, Santa Monica or Calabasas with each class focusing on a different aspect of personal growth and development through experiential learning.

Some Of What You Will Learn Over 12 Weeks:

How to fully listen and ask for what you want in ways that will be heard and understood, so that each party feels appreciated

How to resolve conflicts, upsets and power struggles peacefully and with mutual respect

How to recognize personal "triggers" and barriers that cause you to automatically react in hurtful ways and which keep you separated from your loving intentions

How to transform old reactionary behavior into new positive ways of interacting

How to honor and nurture your own needs without ignoring those of your partner's

How to create mutually empowering and co-committed relationships

How to follow your heart's desire, while listening to your soul-wisdom

How to reconnect in your loving, have fun and create happiness and harmony in your home

How to re-ignite the passion in your relationship

How to expand your self image and create the highest vision of your Big Self

Making a "Commitment To Love" means making a commitment to your Self. In order to create, improve, save or renew any relationship, you first must make a commitment to your Self for personal growth and development regardless of what the other person does. Therefore, each person or couple is asked to commit to signing up for the full 12-week course

Each 12-Week Course is broken down into 4-Session Modules.
Advance registration is required and space is limited. No refunds are given after the 2nd class meeting, and all cancellations must be received in writing by this date. Prepaid course fees that are not used may be transferred to private sessions for full exchange at private session rates.

Heart & Soul-Centered Communication Skills for Creating & Maintaining Loving Relationships
On-Going Classes & Private Consultations in 4-Session Modules Corporate Workshops Available

After students take the 12-week Commitment To Love course, they may continue their learning and personal growth by attending on-going classes in which you can focus on specific relationship goals and areas which need more in depth attention.

Many times what you say is not what the other person hears because of all sorts of "protective filters" that are operating in their subconscious. You expect the other person to be a mind reader and automatically know what you really want from them and when they fall short of your expectations and desires, you are left feeling hurt and angry.

As times goes on in your relationship, your disappointment leads to deeper feelings of resentment and blame. More and more separation from your initial loving intentions occur and before you know it, you want to call it quits.

In addition, the emotional upset and internalized stress caused by unhappy relationships are a major cause for the weakened immune system and invitation for physical illness to set in.

Learning heart & soul-centered communication skills give you the tools to resolve conflicts gracefully, create intimacy and loving relationships and support you in lifestyle changes that lead to stress reduction and whole healthy living.

Each session or workshop creates a safe, supportive and loving atmosphere for singles, couples, mothers and daughters to come together and experience renewed appreciation and understanding for each other.

Journey Into The Heart For Mothers & Daughters
2-night, 3-day Workshop in retreat

Mothers and daughters have a unique relationship which can encompass a wide variety of deep feelings ranging from love and adoration to hurt and anger and everything in between. As young children we are totally dependent on our mothers for nurturing, safety and protection. As we mature, we learn how to be more autonomous. We may go through periods of strong rebellion and acting out as a means of staking claim to our independence and in the process of our maturing we may hurt each other's feelings deeply.

Journey Into The Heart For Mothers & Daughters is an opportunity for women of all ages to come together in a healing retreat setting, cultivate compassion, acceptance and loving connections. You will be lead through exercises which will allow you to gain a new understanding and appreciation for each other, heal old wounds and rejoice in new found awareness.
