This autumn I attended a course called Relationships 1 and found it excellent learning about how we all relate to ourselves and others. I find this sort of learning and self-empowerment is the essence of counter-acting the NWO. Rather than sitting around complaining, it means empowering yourself and growing as a person. Not only does this also uplift everyone around us but it also forces us to re-evaluate our opinions and perceptions. It is after all our view of the world that limits us more than anything in what we think we can do and achieve.
If you are interested, the next Relationships 1 courses will be in Spokane, USA and in Dungarvan, Ireland early in 2010. Another course called The Threshold of Excellence is scheduled for Autumn 2010.
We Believe....that every man and woman should have the freedom to follow a path with a heart. To this end we will support you.
If you say you can't, we'll show you that you can.
If you believe that it is not possible, we'll show you from experience that it is possible.
We Believe.. that all men and women are equal even amidst our differences. For the life-force bestowed upon king is the same as that bestowed upon beggar.
Should you feel unworthy of life, we will affirm your beauty and strength.
Should you feel you have nothing to offer, we will show you the riches in your heart.
We Believe... in the importance of the individual unit to the well being of the greater whole. In this we will uphold you.
If you fear the distance you have yet to travel, we'll show you the long way you have already come.
If you feel the burden of loneliness, we'll show you the joy of taking hands, heart and courage.
Life is a most priceless gift, but if we are to savour the full beauty of this gift we must be able to relate to life. This means that we must develop the ability to relate to ourselves and to those around us in a meaning-full and fulfilling manner.
We spend most of our lives interacting with people in one way or another, but we mostly don't know what it means to relate.
Our biggest problems arise in our personal relationships. Because we have a whole heap of unvoiced and unfulfilled expectations, warmth and camaraderie become supplanted by anger and blame. We tend to think that a partner has to supply that which we ourselves lack, and so we often involve ourselves in relationships which are debilitating and frustrating, as they are based on sets of conditions and co-dependancy, rather than upon mutual appreciation and sharing.
We dispel the myth that two halves in a relationship can make one whole, and we show you that if a relationship is to succeed, it needs two whole people.
Whether at the level of business, social activities or family life, managing relationships takes skill and practice.
On this course we will give you the general principles that will make any kind of relationship work.
We will show you:
- How to determine what you want out of a relationship with another person.
- How to make your fear of relationships work for you.
- The basic differences between males and females.
- How to deal with conflict, using both your male and female energies to succeed.
- Intelligent co-operation between the sexes instead of competing against and blaming each other.
- How to have effective communication in any relationship.
- How to change the feeling of futility and hopelessness you often get if you do speak up.
Our courses require no prior knowledge or particular standard of education. We start with the basics principals and move forward from there, always remembering that we need a firm foundation to succeed. This is our first course and lays the groundwork for a lot of what we do in our other courses
Yours sincerely,
Elizabeth
About Elizabeth Schnugh
Elizabeth qualified as an accountant at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in 1976. She then embarked on a highly successful career in the corporate world, becoming Financial Director of Gilbey Distillers and Vintners in 1984 – a position she held for over ten years.
Through her experience of working with a wide cross section of people in her career, Elizabeth began to realize that her talents and fate did not lie in the corporate world, but in helping people to help themselves. Consequently, in 1991, she started training as a teacher of the humanitarian disciplines, under the guidance of Christopher Nevill.
In 1995, Elizabeth resigned from Gilbeys, and since the beginning of 1996 her commitment to teaching became full time. In November of 1995 she started training under the guidance of Théun Mares, Lightbringer of the Toltec Tradition. Since that time Elizabeth has continued to work closely with Théun to bring the courses offered by the Institute into line with the Toltec Teachings.
