Living In An Expanded State

Pietro and Melanie take you on a journey that explores the energy system. This dynamic presentation uses myths, legends and current research to de-mystify an integral knowledge that is rarely utilized in our society. We look at why in some parts of the world understanding the energy system is considered an essential aspect of existence, and why in our society we may be under-utilizing our fullest energetic capabilities. Through lecture, meditation and exercise this evening looks at ways in which we can regain the expanded states necessary for the energetic world to once again open up to us and become part of our daily existence.

How To Find Your Power

This is an opportunity to become acquainted with one of the core themes of ARC. Pietro and Melanie demonstrate how symptoms, physical aches, pains and even unrewarding lifestyles are reflections of our internal emotional organization. You will learn how we lose our-Selves, how we are “protected” by outdated internal systems and how the symptom is basically a cry for help that is rarely heard. This evening presentation teaches you how to negotiate through your internal maze so that the cry for help is responded to. The secret to this journey is BodySpeak^™; the ability to dialogue with your inner parts in such a way that they respond to you.

Opening to the Feminine

The feminine has historically been under-utilized in western history. Today, we are being challenged in various forms to not only learn of this power within but to allow it to take its rightful place within ourselves and consequently in our society. Through lecture and experiential meditation you will meet the internal feminine, learn about the forces that move us out of this experience and discover how the Law of Attraction is intrinsic to feminine nature and there for us all to tap into. Our final exploration will be the harmonization of our masculine-feminine aspects - the fruit of this balance being the inner knowing when to allow, and when to take action.

Open-Hearted Communication

Is communication a challenge for you? Do you tend to communicate from your head rather than your heart? Do you know the difference? Are you happy with how people respond to your communication? In this evening class Pietro and Melanie Abela, founders of The ARC Institute, extract essential themes from the ARC program, to teach some of the keys to communicating with an open heart. Open-hearted communication is authentic, inviting, intimate and safe. It asks that the communicator feels safe and certain inside and is able to listen with all of his or her being. We learn how to recognize the unconscious language that lies beneath the words we use in conversation and how subtle body language influences the choice of language we use. Pietro and Melanie will demonstrate ways to use unconscious verbal and body language we use in our everyday lives to as tools to create heart-felt communicate with others. There will be simple supervised practice sessions to learn these skills. This evening class is ideal for those wishing to learn more about enhancing their communication skills with friends, family as well with clients from both a professional and non-professional perspective.

Authentic Relationships:
An Exploration of Transference

Transference is relating to another as if they were someone from your past. It is part of the human condition. It is also what inhibits us from being authentic - with ourselves and with others. This two-hour presentation explores the dynamics of transference: how to identify when you are in it and the tools needed to get out of it.

Join us as we transform the challenges of transference in to the foundation for stronger relationships.

Who Am I ?

This is an opportunity to explore the ways in which we develop into the person we call I. Through lecture and meditation this evening looks at ways to increase awareness of who we are, how we relate to ourselves and others and recognize the places we feel stuck, bogged down or lost. Through creative exercise we explore the possibility of transforming these feelings into opportunities for growth and empowerment. This evening’s presentation shows ways to increase awareness of Self. Self-awareness offers the possibility of choice and personal power.

Co-dependence: A Journey of Healing

Co-dependence. It’s a label that many of us shy away from. The word conjures up images of helpless, needy souls pleading, begging to be liked. But what if that wasn’t the whole picture? What if being independent, strong and in control were also symptoms of codependence? What if codependence was just a way we learned as children to get our needs met?

Join Jo-Ann Svensson as she compassionately explores codependence. Through discussion and exercises she will develop the idea that codependence is not so much a label to denounce but a unique and healing journey towards reclaiming our wholeness.

Coming home to Self: Reclaiming Vitality

Do you ever feel like you’ve lost yourself?
Are you so busy taking care of others there is no time for you?
Do you long for a sense of connection?

It is common in the busy-ness to get caught up in the doing of life rather than the living of life. Living implies vitality, spontaneity and joy along with life’s sorrows and challenges.

Join Heather Faris in this evening presentation to explore how we distract ourselves from living in a connected and fulfilling way. Learn simple tools to work with these distractions and come more fully into relationship with your-Self.
