Revealing, Reinventing, and Renewing: A New Year's Resolution for Singles

This workshop is about you and your relationships—with exes, family, friends, and, most of all, with your unique place in this limitless universe. Whether you are divorced, in transition, widowed, or a lifelong single, whether your hope for the new year is to find the person of your dreams, to remain single, or something in between, this workshop is for you. You need only a desire to know more about yourself and a willingness to explore. In a safe yet challenging environment, you will have the opportunity to contrast your history with the future you want to create.

Connie Maas writes: "Together we will explore the wonder of the opposite sex, commitment, community, and sexuality, along with the regrets, fears, and triumphs of who we are as people intimately connected to other people. We will utilize everything Esalen has to offer for revealing, renewing, and reinventing who we are and what our personal vision is. Using art, meditation, self-awareness games, Gestalt, group interaction, and the natural environment of Esalen, we will create a foundation for new ways of looking at ourselves and the world. Our group will be a circle of support for tears, fears, laughter, and love, as well as a springboard to create the future we truly want. Professionals will gain insight helpful in providing support for the challenges of being single in a coupled culture and also supporting clients who are widowed, divorced, lifelong single, or in transition."

Please note: There will be multiple New Year’s Eve celebrations at Esalen, open to all guests.

CEUs available for MFTs and LCSWs.
