and anything else that you'd like to talk about.
This
one day enhances communication skills, builds self-esteem
and encourages relaxation and spontaneity.
I've
found that there are people here like me that have become
my friends. I think the workshop gave me the courage to go
and meet people for myself and not wait for them to come and
talk to me. So I did go and talk to some people and now I
have many friends.

found so much more out about life. There's nothing more worthwhile.

It
is for young people 12 and upwards. It is a day of getting
to know YOU. There are games, processes and even if you are
shy or scared you can have FUN! Amrita has worked with all
sorts of people and just about everyone who attends her programs
are glad they did.
TIME
OUT FOR TEENAGERS
...
is for young people, thirteen and over, to take time out
to relax into conversations about things that are on their
minds.
We
will explore adolescent issues. These will depend on what
the group brings into the workshop.
On
this day we take time to share with each other and discuss
issues that may be confusing or of concern - such as:
-
getting along with parents;
- family breakups;
- school;
- teenage relationships
... and ways to feel great about yourself.
Come,
enjoy a day with a difference.
Parents
invited to join us later in the day.
RELATIONSHIPS
AND SEXUALITY
A
day of exploring the issues teenagers face.
During
the workshop we discuss sexuality and intimate involvement
with others. We will look at ways to create fulfilling relationships
and :
* begin REAL communication with ourselves and others
* be honest about our feelings
* learn to be responsible about our sexuality
* enjoy our sensuality
AMRITA HOBBS has worked with teenagers for over 25 years.
"Adolescence is an important time of change can bring
with it excitement, uncertainty and new challenges. The prospect
of intimate, then sexual relationships can be confusing. These
growth experiences can be joyful with guidance and adult support
. Many of my generation learned by trial and error - it doesn't
have to be that way."
These
workshop have been requested by teenager looking for answers.
This
one day is for males and females thirteen and over.
There
is a workshop preparing young people for their changes and
that is for 12 and 13 year olds.
I
learned about communication, not to rush in to sex and generally
more about relationships.
Elli (13)
I'd like to say to parents, this is a chance for your daughter
to understand what a REAL relationship is and how special
sex, love and relationships can be.
