Still Time to Register for A Wiser Path To Love

 

Hello to all my readers, My upcoming Teleclass series, (which was supposed to begin last week) has been postponed until this Monday (8/13), so there's still time to register. We have a great group of participants, so please consider joining us.  A Wiser Path To Love will teach you about your own Core Gifts and how to express them more fully in your search for love--an empowering and healing new way to understand the journey to intimacy. This course series is the culmination of many years of my own teaching about intimacy, and I am excited to gather a small, vibrant learning communty of people who care deeply about love and intimacy in their lives.  Although the class has a focus on finding a relationship, you're also welcome to join if you want to use these tools to deepen all your relationships. This class series includes: A private 25 minute session with me (in-person, or Via Skype or phone) Twelve class sessions (led by me), which will guide you in discovering, understanding and embracing your own unique Core Gifts. (The technology we use allows you to enter into breakout groups as part of your learning). Exercises, field trips, and micro-meditations designed to change, heal and empower the way you search for love and relate to yourself and your loved ones Downloadable handouts for each class, which will form your own deeper dating handbook ​An exciting community of learning including a forum to share ideas, insights and questions with other class participants A Dating Buddy (I'll match you with your buddy) to share and integrate all the insights you'll be learning in this course. As a result of this three and one half month class you can expect to: Discover and more deeply embrace your own Core Gifts Change and empower your approach to finding love Learn to lead with your deepest self in your relationships--in a way that honors who you are. Learn to distinguish between "relationships of deprivation" and "relationships of inspiration". Understand your life and your intimacy journey in new and life-changing ways. ​Over the years, I've come to believe that deep life-change usually "takes a village." I've built this class series based upon that belief. Together we will form a community of inquiry, discovery and support. I think you will find that this kind of support, combined with the tools you'll be learning, can make all the difference in the world. The class begins on 8/13 and runs through 11/19. All classes will be recorded in case you need to miss them. It takes place on Monday nights from 8:30-9:30 ET. The cost of this entire course is $299. If these ideas speak to you, I'd be honored to have you join us. Below are the links to register, either with full payment, or with a three-payment installment plan. I wish you all growth and inspiration in your intimacy journeys!  And if you have questions about your own participation or whether this would be a match for you, feel free to call me at 516-241-1229.  And please feel free to share this email and recording with anyone you think might be interested!

Ken Page's Free Teleclass Filled: New Section Now Open: The Wiser Path To Love

 

Hello to all my readers! This morning's email about my free teleclass got a wonderful response.  With over 150 registrants, I need to close registration now, but I'm opening a new section of the same one-hour free teleclass on Monday, July 23rd at 8:30 PM ET. If you wanted to attend but didn't get a chance to sign up, I welcome you to join us in this second section. I encourage you to sign up soon because I don't know when I'll schedule the next free class.  This teleclass is for anyone who wants to deepen and empower their search for love. It’s open to men and women of all ages, backgrounds, sexual orientations and life-circumstances. Each of you may have different “particulars”, but the same basic truths apply to almost all of us.   I don't believe that the search for love is a numbers game favoring the young and beautiful. Nor is it a desperate race against time.   It is an intimacy journey, but most of us haven't been given the map! In fact, there is a path to love that enhances us as it leads us to love.   I'm a psychotherapist and workshop leader who has worked with thousands of single people over the past twenty five years. I've seen this approach work for countless clients, and I've tried to distill my most important insights into this one-hour teleclass. These ideas have also touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of readers through my popular Psychology Today blog, Finding Love.   REGISTER FOR MY FREE TELECLASS - MONDAY JULY 23rd AT 8:30 PM ET   Let me share a bit of my own story. Maybe parts of it are also your story:   In retrospect, I see that it was lack of understanding that kept me trapped in my unsuccessful dating patterns for so many years.   The dating “rules” I followed left me feeling diminished—and on top of that, they never seemed to work. "Play it cool, play a big numbers game online, improve your looks if you want to find love.” I tried to live up to these “truths” for way too long, but they kept failing me—though it felt like it was me that was failing.   Now I can see why. There’s no love in that path to love! There’s no healing, no growth, and no empowerment. But it was all I was taught, so I followed it--to my own detriment.   Out of frustration, but mostly out of longing, I began a journey to try to understand the reasons behind what I called my "chronic singlehood."   Why did I keep falling for people who weren’t good for me? And why did available, kind, thoughtful people seem less exciting?  Why was it that the ones I wanted most rarely wanted me back; while those who were most interested in me rarely interested me at all?   The lessons I learned (with the help of many wise teachers) changed my life and have touched the lives of many of my clients and readers. I discovered that my "Core Gifts" -- the most vulnerable, passionate authentic parts of me—are what really lead to love. When I learned to embrace these gifts; to treasure and honor them, and to stay away from the people who couldn't honor them, my life began to change.  In fact, the very gifts I had tried to either hide or "airbrush" in order to attract someone were what ultimately led me to the wonderful relationship I’m in now, and to the deepening of many other precious relationships in my life.   In this teleclass, I will teach you three ways to discover your own Core Gifts—and how to lead with those gifts in the day-to-day realities of your dating life.   These are some things that happen when we learn to honor our core gifts: •           We gradually lose our taste for unhealthy relationships; •           We begin attracting—and becoming attracted to—kind, thoughtful, available people; •           We develop a deeper sense of our life mission, our own path to greatness; •           And we find ourselves, step by step, moving closer to the kind of healthy love we  seek.     If you’d like to learn more about how to discover your own core gifts, then please REGISTER HERE (you’ll also get a free recording of the class.) Then follow the instructions to confirm your registration. When you register, you'll also see an option to share about the class on Facebook. Please feel free to share this teleclass with your friends on Facebook or through the social sharing links above. If you take the class with a friend, both of you can support each other in discovering your own paths to deeper intimacy.   Following the free class, I’ll be offering a class series with twelve bi-weekly sessions led by me, with additional peer coaching and an online community of learning and support. But there's no requirement to join (and no hard-sell, that's not my style!) This free workshop is available to everyone.   I hope you can join us!   REGISTER HERE-MONDAY JULY 23rd, 8:30 PM ET   Warmly, Ken Page, LCSW Website: www.KenPageLCSW.com Blog: Finding Love, Psychology Today Facebook: KenPageLCSW Twitter:@kenpagelcsw

Three Dating Myths That Keep Us From Love

 

Hello to all my readers! I hope you enjoy my new post: Three Myths That Keep us From Love. I know too many people, myself included, who have lived with the burden of these beliefs, and I am happy to do my part in trying to shatter them.  I welcome all your feedback, please do feel free to share this, and I thank you so much for following my work! Warmly Ken Three Dating Myths That Keep Us From Love   Beneath the glitz of much dating advice lies a cynical reverence for the power of packaging and promotion: “Women, be a vixen. Men, learn to seduce. Everyone keep your partner guessing. Lose weight. Be confident. Get out there more.” At the end of the day, this approach doesn't lead to love. It leads to insecurity and desperation. Luckily, there is a wiser way.  Read More:
