VIRGINIA SATIR (1916 – 1988) is internationally recognized for her creativity in the practice of family therapy. Based on a conviction that people are capable of continued growth, change, and new understanding, her goal was to improve relationships and communication within the family unit.
Satir’s mission to facilitate growth came from a deeply held spiritual belief in the positive nature of Life and the unlimited potential of the universe. In the later years of her life, her focus included a commitment to help create world peace. She coined the phrase “Peace within, peace between, peace among” to illustrate that our relationship with ourselves is crucial to the creation of peaceful, loving relationships with others, whether they be our family and friends, our communities, or the larger community of the earth.

Changing From The Inside Out
Personal Growth Through The Satir Model
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Change is a natural human process. We change as we learn and grow. We change as we make new decisions. We also find that we are required to change as our situations and relationships change. Sometimes we hope others will change in ways we wish or expect and are disappointed when they don't. The need to adapt to changing circumstances can,at times, leave us feeling helpless, powerless, afraid, hurt or angry.
The process of change can be an empowering one if the change comes from within. Rather than focusing only on behaviour, we can learn to take charge of and change our feelings, our perceptions and our expectations. We can tap our universal yearnings which point us in the direction of growth. We can connect with our deepest spiritual essence to find the resources and wisdom we need to make choices and respond to change instead of reacting to it.
This program will help participants discover their own capacity for positive change and growth. It will focus on helping people to discover the richness of their inner worlds and their internal resources. It will help people to discover their relationship patterns and to open up to new possibilities. Through experiential exercises and activities, participants will learn how to tap their Life Energy to discover more joy and vitality.
Participants will be encouraged to discover ways to apply their learnings to the various contexts in their lives: their families, their work relationships, their students or clients, and their friendships.
NB: This program is for personal growth only. It is not group therapy nor is it intended to provide personal therapy. As personal issues might arise as a result of the processes you will participate in, it is your responsibility to arrange for any professional support you may need.
