OUR COMMITMENT AND HOW IT DEEPENS

1.   We let go of our ego’s insistence on being right.

2.   We oppose or disagree without imposing

3.   We still have arguments but they don’t last as long, they involve less replay of the past

4.   We take the content of the argument as information rather than a reason for resentment.

5.   We argue without losing our connection and do not stop loving.

6.   We know to stop the argument when it’s taking us further away from where we want to be, bringing us back to centeredness.

We know we can work through anything.

1.   We know that the conflict is coming from our pain that’s wanting to heal.

2.   We hold with compassion the source of our pain and the pain of the other.

3.   We know that one’s truth is not necessarily truth for the other, my truth is an opinion.

4.   We ride the emotions to “right” action for the WE.

         

Now pain opens in a new way and leads to compassion and change, not blame and shame.

Singling During The Holidays

Singling During the Holidays?

Saturday December 13 and 20

12 noon - 2 pm or 6 – 8 pm

At our Downtown Redmond Office, 98052

During this holiday season, do you find yourself avoiding social and family activities where there may be constant reminders that you are “alone”…?

 

Are you already feeling the dread of listening to Aunts /uncles /parents or friends ask about your current “dating status”…?

 

 

Are you single but you don’t want to be single anymore… or you are still telling yourself "All The Good Ones Are Taken" …?

 

 Please join us (Leila and Paul) for a group conversation and some

 

DIFFERENT “holiday cheer” in a safe and lighthearted environment about

 

“Being single during the holidays“ & learning how to move from a place of feeling stuck to a place of understanding and being “undefended” during the “Holiday Bliss & Blues.”

 

 

 This is not a “meet-up,” but rather a gathering of singles for inspiring conversation about singlehood, partnering and love in the 21st century. Some of the ideas we will discuss are:

 

What are we telling ourselves and others about why we are alone and what effect may this have on us getting what we want?

 

Is it possible that it's time to give up some relationship strategies that aren’t working and embody others that may lead to a satisfying relationship?

Why wait until New Years day to start something new?

 

What if we can use this holiday as a time to reflect and get clear on what we do want in a relationship?

What do I do with the fear that is holding me back from trying something new?

 

 

Activity is FREE of CHARGE but RSVP is required,

  email us at compassionate.relationships@gmail.com

 

 

 

Bring a single friend (or bring many!) REFRESHMENTS SERVED!
