Introduction to Mind/Body Methods for Mindful EatingSunday, January 6, 1:00 - 3:00 PM
Experience the body awareness and relaxed attention required to transform your relationship to food and to your body with a guided experience of mindful eating. You’ll be surprised at how little food you’ll need to feel fully satisfied and how much you enjoy the experience of eating mindfully.
NOTE: Bring 2 or 3 different foods to eat mindfully. It is particularly effective to bring problem foods that you have labeled bad or forbidden or that you believe you should or should not be eating.
Cost: $30
Embracing Your Inner CriticSunday, January 13, 1:30 - 4:30 PM
The Inner Critic checks our thoughts, controls our behavior and inhibits action. It thinks it is protecting you from being disliked, hurt or abandoned. Instead, the critical inner voice causes anxiety, depression, exhaustion and low self-esteem. It acts as a powerful saboteur of our intimate relationships. Meet your Inner Critic and learn how to avoid or minimize critic "attacks." Learn how to transform the Inner Critic from crippling adversary to productive ally.
Cost: $30

Decoding Your Dreams: How to Use Dreams as Teacher and GuideSunday, April 20, 1:30 - 4:00 PM
There seems to be in the universe, and within each of us, a deeper Intelligence that can be ignited as we begin our journey of personal discovery.
Life in general, and relationship, in particular, can be pretty rough going at times. It can be a source of immense strength (and relief!) to experience divinity as an integral part of our lives and our relationships.
How can we connect to this divine Intelligence? One of the simplest, most fascinating and rewarding places to begin is with dreams. Our dreams give us the most direct experience of this deeper Intelligence.
Dreams can become a primary source of insight and guidance in our lives and our relationships, including providing closure for the “unfinished business” of relationships. Dreams provide clear objective information about what is “off” or not working in our lives and our relationships.
Dreamwork has been an important part of my personal growth journey for many years. I have been fortunate to be mentored in this process by Dr. Hal Stone, who as a young Jungian analyst, was privileged to personally study with Carl Jung himself, the founder of Jungian psychology.
I feel privileged to be a channel for this information and invite you to join me in exploring how you can tap into the divine Intelligence available to us through dreams: * Common themes and symbols in dreams; *The language of dreams, both personal and archetypal, and how to interpret the messages carried by your dreams; *How to use dreamwork to understand and enhance your relationships.

Creating Freedom, Choice and Balance in Your Relationships and in Your LifeSunday, June 1, 1:00 - 4:00 PM
Experience an entirely new way to expand your options and develop real choice in how you experience yourself and the important relationships in your life!
Jan Foster will introduce to the most powerful psycho-spiritual tool she has encountered, one which can empower you to move beyond issues or situations in which you feel stuck in habitual, reactive patterns. Through this practice you can start to develop a new way to consciously relate to the parts of you that serve you well and better manage the parts of yourself that may be limiting or self-defeating.
This work was developed by Jan’s mentors, Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone, in the real-world context of everyday relationship, which gives it a collaborative, non-pathologizing approach that is practical and empowering.
