[Humanpowered] Parenting with an Open Heart...still a few spaces left for this Saturday!

[dave olsen]

*Parenting with an Open Heart* is all about empowering the knowledge and wisdom 
that every human being comes with and it is returning to East Vancouver!

Don't worry, you can still attend and not feel like you missed a thing from last 
week.

The next two session dates in Vancouver are *Saturday, February 2nd, and 
Saturday February 9th*.  These will be held in a private residence at 2105 
Parker (corner of Lakewood Drive in East Vancouver; *enter from Lakewood* 
through a gate into the basement).

We'll begin at *6:00pm for 2 hours*.

You'll receive Compassionate Communication hand-outs and for those that register 
for the whole set of sessions, an electronic version of /Magical Parent, Magical 
Child/ (see below for package info).  You'll also receive our excellent and 
inspiring bibliography and reading list.

Admission to the first session is by donation, and I don't want anyone to use 
cost as a reason not to come.  Snacks and teas are provided.  My goal is simply 
to make life more wonderful for more people!    And yes, children are welcome 
and there are oodles of toys on site!

Package rates are now available: 7 weeks of sessions for $150, which includes an 
electronic version of /Magical Parent, Magical Child/ and have access to our 
full lending library.

Drop-in is $25 per session; for anyone who needs it, the scale can slide.

Pre-registration for *Parenting with an Open Heart* is advised and recommended.  
Simply reply to this email or email me at bike at resist.ca or call me at 
604.216.6700 with your name and contact info.


Here's some of the feedback from parents that have attended Parenting with an 
Open Heart:

  * Superb! Thank you for all the resources.
  * I felt that the seminar was like an introduction to the majority of
    different concepts that together represent a natural, healthy way of
    parenting and living and then displayed how to apply these principles in a
    few specific real life examples by working through the scenarios each of us
    had brought.  Overall, it felt like a good way to introduce people to some
    new concepts and then give them some real meaning by going through the
    specific examples brought by each of us.
  * I enjoyed how things flowed into each other and you appeared to let them
    naturally lead into what you had planned next, but also moved things along
    in order to get to the next topic when appropriate.  I enjoyed how you
    introduced it, followed with the more interactive part, and closed with a
    song. (and also invited any comments at any time).  I thought the closing
    song was great as it felt like it kinda opened up one's heart more to the
    experience and getting feelings flowing so things were more open as a whole,
    and therefore more receptive.
  * I'm attracted to your seminars in hopes of connecting with a community of
    like-minded parents.


/Dave Olsen will be facilitating these parenting seminars. He grew up in the 
suburbs of Vancouver and recently built a healthy, sustainable home on Lasqueti 
Island.   Although he has been a consultant for almost two decades, it was his 
daughter's birth almost 8 years ago that put him on what he calls life's most 
important path: *Parenting with an Open Heart*./

/The greatest compliment he is aware of receiving was when a close friend and 
fellow parent of two asked him if he had read /The Continuum Concept 
<http://www.continuum-concept.org/>/written by the recently deceased Jean 
Liedloff; when he asked about the book, the friend was shocked because she said 
he parented exactly like the book describes!/

/Dave is also available for one-to-one parent coaching; he can be reached at 
bike at resist.ca or 604.216.6700.
