SINGLE, DATING & RECONNECTING

This workshop is based in part on the acclaimed program, PICK A PARTNER NO JERKS. According to this program, most partners form over-attachments of the heart, which override judgments of the mind. Even if partners are able to keep their heart in balance, many simply do not know what their mind should stay attentive to in order to form clear judgments about their dating partner.

Participants of the Single, Dating & Reconnecting workshop will learn the five bonding dynamics that help to balance the heart in order to avoid bonding attachments that cause participants to override the signs of future problems. If these dynamics are properly attended to, participants can avoid being among the many that refer to their failed relationships with some variation of the remark: "I saw the signs; but I overlooked them (or thought he/she would change)." 

This educational group will help you:

• Identify your dating and relationship needs and goals 
• Create a Mate Match to guide you 
• Foster personal growth through dating 
• Assess why you make the choices you do 
• Identify your traps 
• Use the internet dating services and other community resources 
• Identify the stages of dating 
• Understand the needs of "starting over" 

Introductory Workshop
Why is dating and re-establishing an intimate relationship such a challenge for many people? In this workshop you will learn how to become more aware of the possibilities that exist for new relationships and how to avoid common traps that occur during the dating experience.
