Join us for an intimate and interactive journey of self-discovery!
The Shadow, said Jung, is the unknown ‘‘dark side’’ of
our personality.
In this workshop we will use Points of You® Coaching Game
and Faces to meet our shadows, bring them to light and embrace them.
The task in life which thus confronts everyone, according
to Jung, is to become conscious of and integrate one’s shadow into one’s
conscious personality: accepting it with open arms not as an abhorrent aspect
of one’s self, but as a necessary and vital part of one’s being. To accept and
embrace our Shadow Self is to go back and become “whole” again and thus taste a
glimpse of what authentic “holiness” feels like.
POINTS OF YOU® METHOD
We use innovative, fun methods and tools to facilitate
meaningful discussions, lessen conflicts and build bridges between people. A
cornerstone of the Points of You® method is the interaction between the right
brain, the intuitive and emotional half of the brain, and the left brain,
focused on logic and analysis. This occurs when we look at a photograph and a
word at the same time.
The photograph stimulates our right, creative, brain
while the word activates the left, analytical, brain. The simultaneous
stimulation of the two brain hemispheres creates a struggle between the
emotional and the rational, momentarily “shorting out” the vigilant defense
mechanisms of our mind. This “deliberate confusion” gives the mind a short
respite from our preconceived ideas on how things “should” or “ought” to be,
and allows our mind to open up to new places inside ourselves, shifting our
point of view.
Our games are based on associative links between
photograph, theme and the issue we have chosen. Each photograph depicted on the
Points of You® cards was selected out of thousands of available photographs to
achieve this one purpose: introducing a theme through visual stimulus that has
no direct or obvious connection to it, thus stimulating our entire rational and
emotional system. Doing that, we purposefully leave a space wide enough for
personal interpretation, a personal inter-space. This unique inner motion
creates a new response, resulting in emotions and insights that are new to our
mind and heart.
The method is designed like a sine wave. At its starting
point we are wide open and exposed to many points of view regarding our theme
of choice: relationships, parenting, career, health or any other issue. After
expanding our points of view, it’s time to focus. The focusing process involves
being precise and selecting the most significant insight for our specific
issue. In the last stage we take our insights into the practical world –
tachles, and outline actions to achieve our goal.
