Event Summary

A Team Workshop is a weekend designed specifically for our beloved Assistants and Interns as an opportunity to connect, learn new skills, feel appreciated, try on some new exercises, and have some fun in community! Our Facilitator team offers new exercises designed to help us deepen our awareness, heighten our skills, and strengthen our connection with each other.  We'll spend some time reflecting on the past and envisioning an even stronger future. Team Workshop is created anew each time so you never quite know what to expect! We hope that you will join us if you can!

Facilitators

Anne Watts is a certified hypnotherapist and an educator and counselor in the areas of human sexuality, sexual abuse, family stress, self-esteem and healing the inner child. She also works with financial and aging issues. Anne creates a safe, nonjudgmental environment where participants experience being seen, heard and validated. She has the ability to read between the lines and hone in on the heart of the matter. Her depth of compassion and insight has helped many to find their own path. Since 1985, she has facilitated hundreds of workshops in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany and England.
Donna Spitzer Rengel brings clarity, compassion and insight to the workshops she facilitates. Donna’s background is in somatics and movement arts, as a holistic Lomi Body/Mind practitioner. Her expertise in communications assists individuals and couples to create healthy, loving relationships. She is passionate about her most current venture, her workshop for Women on Expression, Movement and Connection. When Donna met Peter Rengel in 1985, she found the partner with whom she would happily explore love, communication and service for this lifetime. Together they became involved with the Human Awareness Institute (HAI), and a few years later Donna joined her husband on staff as a facilitator of the Love, Intimacy & Sexuality workshops. She has over twenty years leading workshops with The Human Awareness Institute. Donna is the proud mother of a grown son, Kavi.
I've been facilitating HAI workshops for over 20 years - hard to imagine so much time has gone by! But, I'm doing what I love, one workshop, group, and individual heart at a time. My favorite color is purple. I love to cook, and my apple pie is internationally renowned - a family secret recipe passed down through generations. I'm the very proud mother of two beautiful grown children, four beautiful grandchildren through my godson in Detroit and two sons from my husband Tyrone. My joy in life is in helping people step out of pain and fear and into excitement and joy, in relationships and life-work. I consider myself a "transformation midwife" - and I love bringing all of me to support change and growth!
Jason Weston has been a part of the Human Awareness Institute community for more than 40 years. As a facilitator, Jason assists individuals and couples in creating for themselves the lives they really want by guiding them to see and express their own beauty, power and love. Jason was trained at the Process Therapy Institute and holds a degree in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. Jason is passionate about creating a world in which all people have their needs met, and nature is allowed to thrive. Jason lives with his life partner, Marci Graham, in a remote area of California, abundant with wildlife and beauty. Their commitment to telling “all the truth, all the time” is a cornerstone of their relationship.

You change you ... HAI simply asks you to look at your life. I choose a world of love and acceptance in my own heart each day.

Event Policy

COVID ATTENDANCE POLICY

HAI Global is committed to the safety of its participants, volunteers and employees. Please refer to our COVID-19 Attendance Policy prior to registration.

HAI will continue to require all participants and staff to take a COVID test 2-4 days prior to the workshop and send proof of a negative result to us in advance of the event. You may use an antigen test, however, HAI highly recommends the more accurate PCR test. We also ask that you take extra precautions to avoid becoming infected (e.g., distancing, masking when in crowds) for the week prior to your workshop.

You will need to take an COVID test, (HAI provides) upon arrival at the workshop site, before your registration is complete.

Not passing the on-site COVID test, running a fever (99.5°F/37.5°C or more), exhibiting other symptoms of infectious illness (e.g., sore throat, swollen glands, sneezing, coughing, fatigue, rash, malaise), and/or not signing the waiver will result in disallowment from the event. If upon entering the event you find yourself sick or cannot produce the appropriate documents, you will be asked to leave. In either case, your registration fees will be rolled to a future workshop.

Because of the protocols we require to enter a workshop, we are not requiring masks nor social distancing during a weekend workshop.  We will have masks available on-site by request. 

Carpooling: As much as HAI typically encourages carpooling, for now, we are asking people to drive separately if at all possible. Be aware that if anyone in the carpool tests positive then everyone in the carpool will be refused admission to the workshop and will need to reschedule.

HAI is adding a mandatory $45 surcharge to in-person weekend workshops to cover COVID-related expenses.
