Self Awareness Programmes

The Approach:

The Self Awareness Programmes are designed for groups consisting of about 10 to 12 people who get together with the facilitator and begin to learn and re - educate themselves about their own perceptions.
Instead of firm definitions, the facilitator uses a range of views which may be accepted or put aside.
The Programmes invite individuals to work in creative and involved interaction with the facilitator. This interaction opens the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual world to the group. Theory is used as a metaphor to aid needed common language.
The facilitation is a two - way process. It is purposeful and is tuned to the goal of emotional competence, and acceptance of 'self' is the most important goal.

These Programmes help you to take the journey within yourself, step - by - step, from childhood experiences and secrets hidden behind feelings of shame and guilt, to the biases formed through life experiences until there is acceptance of the limitations of life and then finally the exhilaration of experiencing true joy.

These Programmes aid in fulfilling the responsibility of taking care of your own 'Emotional Health' as well as that of others


The Goals of these Programmes:

The aim of personal growth is self -awareness and actualization:

  • to be emotionally competent
  • to be creative in one's own search of truth, meaning in life...
  • to relate to others in ways that demonstrate awareness and respect for diversity
  • to bring oneself to a state of wholeness and completion in experiences of life
  • to be aware of past wounds and current traumas
  • to achieve integrity with interdependence

Self-Awareness Programmes: Level 1

Duration: 25 hours

Objective:

The programme is designed to help an individual begin the journey into the 'Self' and also helps in understanding personality structures and how and why one behaves in a given situations.

This programme introduces individuals to the Transactional Analysis Theory by Eric Berne and concepts such as games, scripts, injunctions and drivers.

The programme proposes to empower individuals to cope and perform better in personal and professional environments by helping them:

  • become self-aware, emotionally, conceptually and behaviourally and spiritually
  • chart a programme for change, in the areas that they choose
  • Finding one's own answers to the questions and making choices in their behavioural patterns that can lead them to grow into a balanced, integrated and functional individual.
