The Power of Now

How can I “be here now” when my mind is always going "there then?"

Paul Chubbuck was as frustrated as any busy-minded person when listening to talk of “The Power of Now” or “Be Here Now”.  It seemed like those teachers knew something he needed to know, but he just wasn’t getting the experience.  But frustration is a great motivator to new learning.  In the field of body-centered psychotherapy, Paul discovered teachers and ways that moved him deeply and continue to teach him and his clients.  Tonight he will offer practical “rubber meets the road” kind of guidance you can use daily to discover the magic and healing power of the present moment when accessed through the gateway of your body and sensations.

We’ll also touch on such questions as:

What’s the connection between my body and the very popular “The Secret” movie?

What if I’m a negative person and often feel scared, angry, or self-critical?

What is the latest in neurobiology and what does it have to do with me?

Paul Chubbuck is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with a private practice in Fort Collins.  He specializes in helping people to release their sense of grief, loss, anger, or fear arising out of past painful experience.   Paul may be contacted at 970-493-2958 or for more information, visit www.releasingthepast.com.

6:30 PM - 8:30 PM  

Descansos

Tonight's session will bring a unique opportunity to look at your life and mark where small deaths and large deaths have taken place.  "Death" can represent roads not taken, paths that were cut short, ambushes, betrayals and deaths.  You'll be given ways to put those deaths to rest so that they don't haunt you anymore.  Come find out what "descansos" are and how they can be used to bring more joy into your life. 

The New Hope nights allow you time to share what is happening in your physical, emotional, and spiritual journey to wellness.   We will interact, share, and listen to each other.  If that's something you don't often get to experience, please come.  It's safe and it's real.

Gridwork: Celebration

This is the third circle in the progression to healing for people who suffer the most emotionally.  After exploring the internal terrain and discovering what needs to be translated into a new perspective, the person is ready to begin the celebration of the gift of life.  Celebration is the partner of gratitude.  How does one become truly grateful?  What impact does celebration have on a person and those he or she interacts with?  If you find it difficult to celebrate your life, this is a good class to attend.  See all nine circles here.

Tuesday  July 17		New Hope - Focus on Emotional  Health 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Coping Mechanisms We all have them.  We all need them.  Coping mechanisms are behaviors we form in response to stress stimulus.  Maybe it's time to look at how you cope and see if those mechanisms are working for you anymore.  Perhaps you would like to exchange the ones you have for more effective ones.  Come explore the human psyche with us and emerge a better person.   Presented by Teresa Smith
Tuesday  July 24		The High Life - Focus on Spiritual  Health 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Women Who Run with the Wolves  Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.  Here name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species.  Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls.  Without Wild Woman, we become over domesticated, fearful uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the ruins of the female unconscious.   Come tonight to hear Teresa present the Introduction to the book.  Man or woman - you'll be glad you came.
Tuesday  July 31		Surprise Night - Living the Adventure 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
No group tonight! We were going to meet at the Larimer County Fair and see how the newest 3 Thirds venture of videography works, but Kelly and Teresa are exhausted after a four-day event this past weekend.  Next year, we may be able to do the fair!
Tuesday August 7		Being 3 Thirds - Helping People Live Well 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Gridwork: Exploration Helping ourselves and others live well requires a mindful approach to healing and wholeness.  Tonight we explore exploration!  This is the first step for those who are suffering the most in the emotional part of their being.  You'll learn the questions to ask that will help someone determine the root causes of their emotional distress.    See all nine circles here.    Presented by Teresa Smith
Tuesday August 14		Sunshine Seminar - Focus on Physical  Health 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Fighting Abnormal Cell Growth Using the word "cancer" is taboo in natural health realms because of the threat of liabilities.  That word is just a label for a series of diseases that involve the overgrowth of cells in the body.  The good news is that the condition for most people who have it (and many have it without knowing) is reversible.  Come hear about amazing breakthroughs for optimizing health from a medical nurse who chose to pursue natural health in order to reverse a debilitating condition that she was told was "incurable."     Presented by Patti Smith
Tuesday August 21		New Hope - Focus on Emotional Health 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Marriage on the Rocks Married or not, the state of our core family units is vital to the stability of your emotional health. Marriages all over America and the world are disintegrating in record numbers.  What is happening to us?   Come  discover ways to understand the opposite sex and more firmly establish the foundation of relationships.   Presented by Teresa Smith.
Tuesday August 28		The High Life - Focus on Spiritual  Health 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
By request of the regular attendees, tonight's session will provide an opportunity  to get to the core issues of our individual  lives.  You can share what is happening in your physical, emotional, and spiritual journey to wellness.   We will interact, share, and listen to each other.  If that's something you don't often get to experience, please come.  It's safe and it's real.
Tuesday September 4		Being 3 Thirds - Helping People Live Well 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Gridwork: Translation This is the second of the three circles for helping those who suffer emotionally.  Translation involves learning a new vocabulary and then building a bridge of understanding between what was and what will be.  Often, translation requires a new perspective on the old stories that shape our emotional construct. Without translation, we can remain stuck in a repeating scenario of suffering.   See all nine circles here.     Presented by Teresa Smith
