Event Summary

Choice is so much more than saying “yes” or “no.” What is the full range of options at any given moment? What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Do you go along with the crowd? Or do you feel into what is right for you, and make your own choice?

If you were to hit a “reset” button on your life, what would you choose now? Are there people you need to heal relationships with? Are there important things left unfinished in any aspect of your life

HAI emphasizes choice from the very first session of the first workshop. In Loving Your Choices we take it much further. How were you conditioned to be the gender you were raised to be? Were there essential parts of yourself that you let go of in order to be accepted, perhaps even to survive? Are there experiences or ways of being you would like to try on, but never have?

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 Details

As we begin to stand more fully in ourselves, we can choose our own desires out of a clear commitment to ourselves. We stop and wonder “what is it I truly want?” We take stands we had not taken before as well as opening a door to looking at what influences of culture, parenting, school, friends and family have shaped why we do what we do.

There is an opening of understanding about how at choice we truly are when we pay attention. We begin to ask ourselves, “Why do I do what I do? Do I choose or does my programming choose?” We use the edginess of our sexuality to explore the universality of choice. The inherent pulse of our body’s longings opens the way to attuning to our body’s wisdom, informing our moment-by-moment, day-by-day decision making.

This workshop provides you with the opportunity to see clearly the underlying causes of your behaviors. You’ll examine your programmed responses to see that your choices are often restricted by your past. You can expect to:

  • Learn about adapted behavior, and liberate yourself from “group think”

  • Recognize gender roles and free yourself from unnecessary restrictions

  • Gain a much deeper understanding of why you do what you do

Once the looking within begins the doors swing wide open.

“Level 3 helped me step into my own power and make the choices I wanted for my life. I never knew that I could be so happy.” ~C.A.

“My self-consciousness and life-long negativity actually went away somewhere and hasn’t returned. I feel I really connected with people on a very basic level, a simple appreciation that we were all feeling much the same things, with similar needs.” ~C.R.
