Practical and Interactive workshops for individuals and
couples.
Conducted by Helene Lewis : Counselling Psychologist. MSc
(Psych) HPCSA
We’ve been given everything we need to be whole; our task is
to assemble and use it in an appropriate way.
Nothing is meaningful as long as we perceive only separate
fragments.
To engage
in this process towards wholeness … you are invited to join my
personal growth groups – conducted on a recurrent weekly basis
as from May 2010. I’ve designed these workshops to assist
people who have a need for spiritual and psychological growth.
However with the current economical and political stressful
times we’re living through – many individuals expressed a need
for support groups as well as skills how to cope in these
trying times.
How
we use our minds
are crucial in interpreting our surrounds and determines our
reactions: either proactively or reactively.
It’s
simultaneously our most powerful and our most destructive
weapon – one we live with every moment.
Unfortunately few realize the power of their minds and HOW to
use it constructively.
