Movie Screening and Discussion |
|
"You Can Heal Your Life" |
| |
Health care workers and holistic healers alike are invited to this special screening of the DVD follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller "You Can Heal Your Life", followed by a facilitated discussion of opportunities to integrate Western medicine with holistic approaches.
"You Can Heal Your Life", by Louise Hay, sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Louise's key message in this powerful work is: "If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed." Louise explains how limiting beliefs and ideas are often the cause of illness, and how by changing one's thinking...one can improve the quality of their life.
Your presence would be highly valued and appreciated at this event aiming to move health and healing to new levels in San Francisco, and beyond.
We will be selecting a size-appropriate venue for this event based on the number of positive responses to this and other invitations being distributed.

In this second workshop on labels and relationships:
- Get more of what you want out of your relationships with yourself, friends, partners and…shhh… those online hookups!
- Step out of the “Oh no- not again…” Move away from the “I want to ask him, but…” , and learn to embrace your inner horndog, celebrate your kinky side, and admit what your momma might not approve of.
- Be more confident of what men might think, push more for online manners, or simply dump all those confusing labels to begin with.
Either way join us as we remove the layers of past doubt and disappointment to discover, create, and share what's working and what's not!

DO I LOOK FAT? is a film about body image and eating disorders, as seen from inside the gay male community. The film explores many of the concurrent issues at the heart of this issue from the candid stories of 7 diverse men and the help of eating disorder clinicians. Issues such as childhood bullying, internalized homophobia, substance use, exercise obsession and the pervasive influence of HIV/AIDS on the body are some of such issues explored. The film handles the subjects with a respect and sensitivity that is complimented by archival footage that adds a unique historical perspective and, at times, levity.
| "A compelling introduction to the struggles many gay men face |
| in their relationship with food." |

Want to feel sexier? Improve your relationships? Have better sex?
It all starts with a relationship to the self, your thinking and the labels you carry with you - designer, generic or otherwise.
Attend this fun, insightful, interactive workshop and explore ways to view how you create new experiences in you life or recreate old ones.
You will learn how to:
- get out of feeling stuck
- enhance what's working, and
- get better or reacquainted with that person you see in the mirror or in the shower each day
If you had to think for a minute we're talking about YOU.
A balanced or out-of-balance life begins with how YOU LABEL YOURSELF!

Accepting Yourself
A Dynamic Choice Maker
There is no such thing as a good person or a bad person. There are choices and actions that lead us in different directions, and it is through those choices and actions that we create our realities. Sometimes we choose or do something that takes us in the opposite direction of the reality we want to create for ourselves. When we do this, we feel bad—uneasy, unhappy, unsure. We might go so far as to label ourselves “bad” when a situation like this arises. Instead of labeling ourselves, though, we could simply acknowledge that we made a choice that lead us down a particular path, and then let it go, forgiving ourselves and preparing for our next opportunity to choose, and act, in ways that support our best intentions.
Many of us experienced childhoods in which the words good and bad were used as weapons to control us—you were good if you did what you were told and bad if you didn’t. This kind of discipline undermines a person’s ability to find their own moral center and to trust and be guided by their own inner self. If you were raised this way, you may find yourself feeling shockwaves of badness when you do something you were taught was wrong, even if now you don’t agree that it’s bad. Conversely, you may feel good when you do what you learned was right. Notice how this puts you in something of a straitjacket. An important part of our spiritual unfolding requires that we grow beyond what we learned and take responsibility for our own liberation in our own terms.
You are a human being with every right to be here, learning and exploring. To label yourself good or bad is to think too small. What you are is a decision-maker and every moment provides you the opportunity to move in the direction of your higher self or in the direction of stagnation or degradation. In the end, only you know the difference. If you find yourself going into self-judgment, try to stop yourself as soon as you can and come back to center. Know that you are not good or bad, you are simply you.
