Women and Power: Emotions: Messengers From Inner Space
Women and Power Emotions Messengers From Inner Space Author:Louise LeBrun, Louise LeBrun Women and Power, a series of presentations delivered live on a variety of topics of interest to women, and the people in their lives. Women and Power is based on the belief that women are strong, competent and courageous; that we, as women, are not in training but are full practitioners at life; and that leadership into the 21st Century mus... more »t come from women. Each of the topics in the series is designed to bring women closer to an awareness of who we are and - more importantly - who we might become! Each topic explores some of the challenges that women face in their own growth and expansion, and in the growth and expansion in their relationships with people around them. The "Women and Power" series covers six prominent topics: speaking up (saying what we really think); money; women and men; women and their mothers; expressing emotions; and finally, in the sixth program, bringing all of these together and exploring how women frequently use the first five to (unwittingly) keep ourselves and each other powerless. The format is the same for all six programs. Each event is held in a public forum, for a duration of two hours, and professionally recorded live with additional microphones positioned in the audience. The program opens with a presentation that runs from 30 to 40 minutes. The floor mics are then opened up for input from the audience, to the degree to which its members wish to participate. People have a lot to say! During this live, open forum, people ask questions, make comments and tell their stories. Each program is then reviewed, with the best 90 minutes made available on audio cassette tape. See Feedback' for comments on the audio tapes. This program, Emotions: Messengers From Inner Space, invites you to consider: who would think that from such chaos could come a sense of peace and contentment? Who could possibly believe that the pathway to a core of internal stability would be through the churning waters of emotions? Who will dare to challenge their own thinking so as to move out of that rut that's been holding you locked in its grip for so long? Emotions - small words like anger, fear, joy, guilt... with such powerful implications! The emotion is only the tip of the iceberg compared to all the rules we have about having the emotions themselves. Small wonder we would prefer not to think about it! Join us for an exploration of emotions. What are emotions? Where do they come from and where do they go? How do they work inside your body? What possible purpose do they serve? How can you work with them instead of against them? How do they serve you - and how do they trip you up? What are you willing to do about them? And, more importantly, who are you capable of becoming when you honor them?« less
