Workshop: Awakening Trust
Thursday, August 27, 7-9 p.m. 

Trust requires presence, occupancy and vulnerability.  Yet being present and occupied while still being undefended often leaves us feeling too exposed. You will have a chance to explore how you stay occupied in your body while in a vulnerable  state and compare to a more defended state. Learning the difference gives you  choices you may not have had before.

How can we trust others, or ask trust from others, without self-trust?

Are you consistently on time? Do you tell yourself the truth? Do you follow up on your commitments? Do you keep your word? Do you listen to your intuition? Do you make and meet realistic expectations?

Every 'yes' is a step towards building self-trust.  More self trust fosters self-confidence and credibility.

Why do we avoid trusting ourselves? One of the most common reasons is that along with trust comes responsibility. Accountability means admitting when we have made a mistake and cleaning up our messes. It also means re-committing every day to what we've agreed to or changing the terms of those commitments. Neither of which is an easy thing to do in long term relationships or work situations.

Responsibility also means setting boundaries, keeping the agreements we make with our self and making goals we can manage. All of this takes self-trust.

When we develop a deep sense of self-trust we will also inspire trust in others. We can then be of service just by being our self.

Don't trust me - check it out yourself.
