“Only life is. Yes, life goes on changing forms;
one day you are this, another day you are something else. Where is the child you once were? Has the child died? …The child is still there in its essentiality, but now you have become a young man or a young woman. The child is there with all its beauty; it has been superimposed by new riches.
And then one day you will become old. Then where is your youth? Died?
No, again something more has happened. Old age has brought its own crop, old age has brought its own wisdom, old age has brought its own beauties.”
OSHO, The Book of Wisdom
This workshop offers you an accurate map to journey through the seven-year cycles of life and relating, and a way to heal the past, enjoy the present, and look forward to the future.
Each stage of life brings its own themes, challenges, learnings, and opportunities. Every seven years, from childhood to maturity, the way we relate to ourselves and others evolves, taking on a different focus and atmosphere.
From the self-centered focus of our early years to an opening toward friendship, love, sexuality, work, family, community, and tradition, cycle after cycle we become more and more deeply immersed in the “other.”
Then one day, as time passes, our energy and attention naturally begin to shift, moving beyond ourselves and our relationships, and turning toward a deeper search for meaning, awareness, and transcendence.
When a cycle is fully lived and completed without leaving unresolved issues behind, we can enter the next cycle with greater freedom, carrying with us the essence and gifts of the previous experience. We are ready for the next stage and happy to share this new challenge with those who are close to us.
Relationships then become a space for growth. They can evolve into an ever more authentic sharing, taking on new colors of love and deeper dimensions of meditation.
Through the exploration of the seven-year cycles of life and relationships, this experiential course offers a map for understanding your journey, integrating the past, living the present more fully, and opening with confidence to the possibilities of the future.
During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to:
• Understand the map of the seven-year cycles of life and relationships:
revisit each cycle you have already lived through, becoming aware of what was not fully experienced in your relationships during that period.
• Integrate and heal unresolved aspects of the past:
by becoming aware of what was not fully lived, you can discover new ways to integrate the essence of that time into your present life.
• Live the phase of life you are currently experiencing with greater awareness and fulfillment:
open yourself to the potential of the cycle you are living now, and learn to embrace your energy as it is, enjoying its sharing with partners and friends.
• Open yourself to the future with confidence, recognizing the potential of the stages that still await you:
gain a glimpse of what lies ahead and learn to recognize that only a life fully lived allows us to celebrate the fullness of maturity.
