Life Serving Boundaries

Having clarity about life-serving boundaries in relationships allows a greater sense of security and freedom. When you know what the boundaries are for you and others, you also know where you are free to play and grow together.

Life-serving boundaries are about honoring the life in you and another rather cutting off connection. Setting life-serving boundaries means having clarity about what really serves life or meets needs and making a conscious decision about how you will relate to another or behave in a particular situation while being able to remain heart-connected.

To set life-serving boundaries, you need to be able to recognize and honor your own needs, speak clearly about them, understand the verbal and behavioral language of boundary setting, honor the needs of others without taking responsibility for them, and engage in healing work with regard to your experiences of boundary violations in the past.

Learning to set life-serving boundaries is a competency that helps you embody an authentic life and live respectfully with others.

An essential part of setting boundaries is being aware of and honoring your own needs.  The series will begin with exercises to teach you how to stay grounded in yourself in difficult interactions.

Throughout the day particular concepts and skills will be presented. You will practice skills in short structured exercises in either pairs or small groups.  Exercises can be modified to give you more or less challenge depending on your learning edge.You may also engage in role plays.There will be an opportunity for debrief and questions after each exercise.

You will receive a detailed handout as a part of the workshop.
