2007 Sea-Treat Schedule of Events
Day 1 : Meet & Greet
“Friendships multiply joy and reduce sorrow.”
Welcome gathering
Day 2 : Sunrise Celebration
“The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here.”
We celebrate a Native American Prayer which uses the 4 directions to connect with Light, Love, Spirit and Creation. This is a vehicle for bringing harmony to oneself and nature. A short meditation follows.
Benefits of Humor Workshop
“We will never know all the good a simple smile can do.”
Humor is a special kind of joy that creates laughter. Research has shown that laughter cleanses our systems of tension. It reduces the risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure, reducing stress hormones and raising levels of infection-fighting cells. This workshop will examine how laughter affects us physically as well as emotionally, through fun group exercises and discussion.
Day 3 : Positive Thinking and Affirmation Workshop
“There is nothing like a dream to create the future.”
Affirmations are positive statements repeated over and over again until the message becomes internalized and part of your regular behavior. This workshop will examine the power of affirmations in changing behavior and increasing self-awareness. Participants will engage in role playing exercises to observe the effect thoughts and feelings have on their behavior. A personal experience from one of the facilitators will be shared.
Day 4 : Communication Workshop
"Words are like touch. They can caress or they can irritate."
Communication takes many forms. We will discuss the different ways people communicate, including demonstrations using body language, sarcasm, miscommunication, selective hearing, etc. Attendees will role play different scenarios to illustrate the many ways we relate to each other.
Celebration & Awards Event
“Each happiness of yesterday is a memory of tomorrow.”
To acknowledge everyone’s contribution in making this weekend great, awards, small gifts and other tokens of appreciation will be presented. BRING COMPLETED EVALUATIONS, please.
