Event Summary

Do you love yourself? Really love yourself? No matter what? As you would your best friend? Or your child? Or perhaps your parents? Most of us don’t.

Loving Yourself is a workshop that focuses on transforming your relationship with you and deepening your connection with self. You will have opportunities to see the essential goodness you came into the world with, and that still lives in you.

Most of us have the experience of seeing another through eyes of love, but struggle to see ourselves in the same light. Loving Yourself brings you back to loving you, while at the same time having meaningful interactions with others.
 

HAI is adding a mandatory $45 surcharge to in-person weekend workshops to cover COVID testing and other COVID related expenses until they are no longer necessary.

HAI Global is committed to the safety of its participants, volunteers and employees. You will be asked to provide a negative COVID test 2-4 days before the workshop in addition to testing onsite at registration.

Event Team

Facilitators

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.
 
Event Details

One of the keys to loving ourselves is accepting ourselves exactly as we are.  This includes loving our physical bodies as well as our sexuality. Most of us have been told, countless times, that our bodies are not OK, and have had numerous assaults or belittlement of our sexuality. In HAI, we see every body (really, every one) as beautiful, exactly as you are. We see your sexuality as something sacred, precious, and deeply personal.

Beginning to trust demands a journey within. To trust oneself requires a decision to accept and celebrate the person that walks in your very own shoes. To trust oneself insists that we see right through opinions of others and learn to see ourselves as we truly are. You cannot think your way to trusting… you can only begin by deciding to know yourself from the inside out.

Ever so gently the armor we ourselves put in place to protect us and keep the world at bay begins to loosen. Bit by tiny bit we begin to feel the spreading warmth that comes with shedding the barriers to our own tender, delicate, fragile love of ourselves.

We are mirrors for one another, and can be teachers for one another as well. This workshop introduces powerful communication tools for deepening your relationships with others while remaining true to yourself.

To love one’s self challenges us to decide to accept and revere who we are at our core and with that trusting love we reveal ourselves, like the sun as it rises from darkness into a blaze of vibrant color.

Loving Yourself (Level 2) changed my life... period. I was a frustrated and scared singer/songwriter when I went to the weekend. The love and acceptance I was offered jump-started my own self-love so intensely that when I came home, I had a new confidence and recorded my first solo album—I’m working on my second. Now, I travel and play my music, knowing that I matter and am loved—I never would have this without my Level 2 experience. Thank you HAI.” ~L.G.
