How You Could Transform Your Life with a Life Choices Course at the Skyros Centre

Get help with relationships, health, career, finding happiness and more...

If you are searching for answers to important questions and looking for ways of changing your life, then the Life Choices programme at The Skyros Centre this year is the place to be this summer. Courses this year include help with successful relationships, how to build your confidence, follow your dreams, how to be happy and even business presentation skills and how to start your own business.

At the Skyros Centre, in the ancient hillside village of Skyros, Greece, you will experience a warm and friendly atmosphere.  It is a perfect place to unwind and rediscover what you really want out of life. The Life Choices programme runs mid-morning for three hours for five days per week. In the afternoons you are free to explore the charming village, laze on the sandy beach, make new friends - or simply enjoy a siesta.  The holiday includes opportunities for early morning yoga, massage treatments and trips and visits. There have been many positive comments about the Life Choices programme, such as:

"This workshop gave me a new, positive perspective on situations I have found challenging at home!"

"You have changed my life and helped me to have a second chance at living and being happy."

Our Life Choices programme does not provide all the answers.  But it will give you the encouragement you need to leave behind life's limitations, recharge your passion and go for what really matters to you to transform your life.  Courses take place between June and September.  See below for courses that could help you this 2014:

Raise Your Game & Finding Happiness - Suzanne Hazelton
Sat 14 - Fri 27 Jun 2014

Raise Your Game (Week 1)

Research shows that successful individuals have a disproportionately positive effect on society. But what does success mean to you? Success means different things to different people, and there is no single right answer, the only answer that really matters, is what success means to you.  As you are, you are of course perfect, and successful, but you may still wish to make changes to your life. You will explore what has led to your current levels of success so that you can use these as a foundation for designing and building your future success - success 2.0, your next version.

Busy can be the enemy of happy. Come and join us to pause, breathe and explore what makes us happy and how to be happy. There are of course many routes to happiness and fulfilment, and each of us will have our own flavours that seem to work for us. Sometimes we simply forget to use our approaches for happiness, or just occasionally they just do not have the same potency as they once did. During this workshop we will be exploring three paths to finding happiness.

Sat 26 - Fri 8 Aug 2014

Are you feeling stuck or burnt out, facing difficult changes, or simply yearning for something you cannot imagine having? If so, this workshop by Imagework pioneer and Skyros co-founder Dr Dina Glouberman can help you:

•    Get a vision of the future that would be right for you
•    Find your way forward to a new beginning

The secret is to educate your imagination to bring together the spiritual and the practical - learn to attend to the whisperings of your heart and soul while being grounded in the real world. You will emerge from the workshop with the clarity and confidence to take your next step in life. Since you are what you imagine, if where you are is not where you want to be, why not learn to imagine better?

Choose Life at Any Risk - Ari Badaines
Sat 9 Aug - Fri 22 Aug 2014

The essence of this group centres around the idea that people get stuck in many aspects of their lives: relationships, work, self perceptions, self esteem. There are many reasons for this inability to move, but the essential idea is that people do not take the necessary risks to get unstuck; and if they do, will often not tolerate the ensuing anxiety and discomfort long enough to maintain the growth that will enable them to move in the  direction of their life-dreams and fulfill their yearnings. Thus, avoidance of anxiety becomes primary for many, and they remain stuck in relatively unsatisfying relationships to others, themselves, family, and their vocation....

Individuals soon begin to share at a more personal level about their concerns and difficulties, and then using a variety of approaches including some from psychodrama and gestalt therapy, they facilitate their process which often helps them to experience the blocked emotions, gain new awareness, and experience more satisfying ways of being.
