Love is born in the pure and innocent in us- when we dare to let go of old fears ,habits and expectations...of what love is, how a meeting should be.

ACCEPTANCE OF MASCULINE QUALITIES (SEMINAR FOR MEN)
Date: 8.- 10.10.

With Khushru Gregor Steinmaurer and Martin Svihla

Qualities like decisiveness, purpose, strength and clarity in action and presence are often marked as masculine qualities. When we look into the present state of the world and ourselves, it becomes clear, that men are in difficulty accepting and living these qualities. This often results into either pretended excess of masculinity and dominance or a rejection of masculine energy, a passivity and submissiveness. During this seminar we will look for conscious and positive ways of using masculine energy and understanding the roots of our masculinity.
The attitude towards our masculine energy is conditioned by our connection with our father and other male authorities, which then strongly influences all our relationships with women, our children and other men.
Accepting our masculine qualities can enlighten our own life journey and enables us also to be beneficial to our beloved ones and the whole world.



TRAINING IN DANCES OF UNIVERSAL PEACE (MODULE II)
Date: 27.-31. 10.
