AH-MAN BLOG 
 
Hello, Friends and Family!  In this month's issue of the newsletter, I want to focus on providing information on resources for coping with what, for some, can be a very difficult time of year.
 
As the words to the traditional carol go, "'Tis the season to be jolly!" 
 
Unfortunately for many of us, "jolly" is the last word we'd use to describe how we feel at this time of year.  For us, the holiday season can dredge up painful memories, depression, anger, guilt, recrimination and other negative emotions that only serve to drain and undermine us, and threatens our hard-won healthy life balance.
 
With that in mind, I have been moved  to use this holiday season to provide words of peace, comfort and inspiration at
Ah-Man Blog for those who desperately want to reclaim the joy of the season and, in fact, the joy in your lives!
 
I encourage you to visit my blog and read my entries.  I also urge you to share with other readers any ways you have found to effectively maintain balance and optimism during this time of year.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
 
When it comes to learning how to cope and enrich your life, sharing the thoughts and experiences of others via blog can be effective, but nothing beats the healing impact of human interaction.  And that's what I provide at my workshops.  There are two scheduled for December.
  
Date:   Saturday, December 13, 2008
Event:  AH-MAN FREEDOM WORKSHOP FOR MEN
 
Connecting to Your Heart

Location:      Stonewater Sanctuary at Opal Moon
Time:             9:00am to 6:00pm
Fee:               $125.00
 
To Register:   You must register directly with Opal Moon at 914-788-4955 or use this link to register online.
 
This workshop, for men only, will help anyone who has been hurt or scarred by tragedy, addictions, abuse and/or unhealthy relationships.  With each bit of pain inflicted, a layer of protection covers our heart.

We cut our scarred hearts off from life because of past trials and tribulations.  This, in turn, prevents us from trusting people and situations today.  Because we have not forgiven ourselves, others and/or God, we blame people today who had nothing to do with our past.  Their only "sin" is that they remind us of the past.
 
At this workshop, you will experience a reconnection with your heart through a simple, yet powerful, process created by Michael Hoare.  You will learn to experience trust in ways not previously known, and gain understanding of how forgiveness can open your heart and release the mind, body and soul of illness.
 
You will learn how to live in a place of acceptance, where the outside world will no longer disturb you as before.
MEN'S WEEKEND WORKSHOP RETREAT
 
Date:              December 19-21, 2008
Event             MEN'S WEEKEND WORKSHOP
                       RETREAT

                       570 Davenport Avenue
                       New Rochelle, NY 10805
 
Time:             Friday 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm

Fee:                $275.00

To Register:   Use this link to register on line.
 
During this workshop, men will find a safe, sacred place where they can dig deep within to find what is blocking them from experiencing meaningful and honest relationships with God, self, and others.
 
You will learn how to reconnect, reroute and rewire your most primal thoughts, emotions and beliefs.  This process helps men who have suffered from addictions, dysfunctional relationships, loss of loved ones, or emotional, sexual or physical abuse.
 
This is the workshop for you if: (1) you have suffered from traumas such as the ones described above; (2) your life is affected because of someone else who has suffered from these traumas; (3) you feel the need for more in - and from - life; and (4) your experiences have closed off your connection to your heart.
