CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIPS
A SEMINAR FOR BUILDING ENDURING LOVE and FRIENDSHIP
Press Play to Hear Richard and Ariel Discus This Workshop
For the first time in the U.S., Ariel and I are offering a retreat to share the insights and tools we have found most essential for helping us overcome our own destructive relationship patterns and allow love to grow.
The key insights and behaviors we have learned which will be the substance of the seminar are:
- Learning how to take responsibility for the judgments you tell yourself about your partner. The empowering insight is that it is much less important to try to change someone else than it is to stop the mental whirlwind of your own stories about the other that make you unhappy.
- Recognizing that your partner is truly “other.” No one out there is you and expecting them to think or feel or behave as you do is simply narcissism. Instead of being polarized by your differences, you begin to marvel at them and learn to respect the uniqueness of each other. Gradually, no longer fighting against perceived differences you will often find yourselves spontaneously surprised by a deeper love that is unconditional.
- Our partners are not in our lives to fulfill us or protect us from threatening feelings. A consecrated relationship is one in which we commit ourselves to mature psychologically and spiritually by learning to hold whatever vulnerable or dark feelings are aroused in us through the course of the relationship. Nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce, and while some are because of actual incompatibility, many and maybe most are because the feelings aroused in these relationships are too overwhelming for many people to bear, and the tendency is to blame the other.
- Love is not something you give or take. It is something that claims you and re-enlivens your relationship when you meet each other fully in the present without defenses. In this sense relationship can become a transcending path whose limits no one knows.
