Workshops, Seminars and
Meditation Classes
Workshops
& Seminars
Dr.
Rick presents a variety of workshops throughout
the year. These consist of a combination of: presentations,
guided meditations, healing circles,
relaxation, discussion groups, panels of experts
and social time. This creative process is
one that allows the participants to feel that
they’ve had a growth-filled experience, one
from which they can walk away feeling that not
only have their own personal issues been gently
explored, but they now possess the tools to
better cope with life in the future.
These workshops
are sometimes half-day, sometimes full-day,
depending on the topic, and are based on the
principles found in Dr. Rick’s books, EMPOWERING
THE TRIBE ~ A Positive Guide to Gay and Lesbian
Self-Esteem and THE POWER OF
A PARTNER ~ Creating and Maintaining Healthy Gay
and Lesbian Relationships.
The following is a
current list of available workshops and seminars.
- Recovering
Self-Esteem and Repairing Inner
Wounds
- Loss,
Grief and Spirituality
- Finding
and Developing Healthy Gay
Relationships
- Mind/Body
Health & Wellness

Meditation
Classes
Dr.
Rick offers a series of MEDITATION CLASSES, for
those who want to explore meditation for the
first time, as well as for those who already
meditate and wish to further develop their level
of insight. These meditation classes are designed
to:
- Provide a
safe and comfortable environment in which
to make emotional, psychological and
spiritual headway through one’s
specific issues;
- Help to
develop skills for coping with the
everyday stresses of life;
- Teach
relaxation techniques which aid in
overall emotional and physical wellness;
- Increase
one’s ability to feel centered,
positive and hopeful;
- Feel good!
This series of six
classes progresses through the following areas of
growth:
- HEALTH,
where we explore mind/body
wellness and the
"progressive
relaxation," a technique
used by individuals as well as in
hospitals and wellness centers;
- STRESS,
which we learn to reduce through
the use of Dr. Rick’s
"Sailboat
Visualization;"
- SPIRITUALITY,
which is a journey to a Safe
Place with a Sacred Inner Guide;
- SELF-ESTEEM,
where we look at self-nurturance,
the inner child and the inner
parent;
- CHILDHOOD,
which deals with the reparation
of old, internal, emotional
wounds which have a long history
of causing difficulties well into
adulthood;
- GRIEF
& FORGIVENESS, where we
enter the process of healing
significant loss, and explore the
concept of forgiveness.
