Transforming Ourselves & Society
March 15-17, 2002
Wisdom House, Litchfield, CT
Sexuality holds great possibilities for personal and spiritual growth. Sexuality
also affords the opportunity and possibilities to generate and feel genuine intimacy.
By bringing awareness and understanding to our usual masks and defenses we are
better able to meet the Core Spirit in you and me. This is true intimacy.
Thus, our sexual passion is a glimpse of our longing for this merging. The goal
of this retreat is to awaken and cultivate this sexual energy so it can carry
us into ecstatic experiences of this cosmic embrace while healing all aspects
of our lives.

Actuating an Inborn Longing for Living the Future
October 4-6, 2002
Wisdom House, Litchfield, CT
We are all reinventing ourselves. The times we live in demand it. It is a personal
and cultural struggle to create meaningful transformation in our work, physicality,
spirit, and sexuality. We are people from all walks of life knowing there is "something
more" to what we call living. This retreat is about making our reinvention processes
more graceful, more conscious, and inviting in others to "resource" our process.
We will do so by grasping our soul's desire for love and freedom.

Fusing Sexual & Spiritual Energies
The mystery of love-infused sex must be personally experienced to be fully
understood. As we allow our souls to fall further in love with our core sexuality
and as we fuse these energies, sex becomes a powerful alchemical experience of
physical pleasure, emotional connection, and inner growth. This retreat offers
a glimpse of an inner experience of the mystery of love-infused sex. This glimpse
can provide insights into what we are missing in our search for fulfilling relationships,
and such insights can reduce our restlessness and dissatisfaction and increase
energy in our lives.

formerly known as The Complex Roadmap to Fulfilling Intimate Relationships
in Stage Two Recovery Feeling less than whole often means feeling unfulfilled and isolated. Getting
Where You Want to Go!, an educational and experiential workshop, offers
you an experience of wholeness and gives you a roadmap to self-empowerment; a
lasting empowerment whose roots are already within you. You will join in a healing
community with others who also bring a significant level of intention to create
experiences.
The Institute’s focus is recovery of Self — recovery
of emotional, spiritual and sexual wholeness. Our programs are
for anyone seeking a path of personal growth and healing. This workshop has also
proven to be a highly effective compliment to 12-Step recovery work.

This advanced psychotherapeutic healing workshop will be facilitated by Michael
Picucci and Barry Walker on alternating weeks. Michael will lead in the healing
dynamics of community, centering the individual and group journey in the healing
experience of conscious loving. He will offer his own growing wisdom, skills and
experiences for reclaiming our emotional, spiritual and sexual wholeness. We will
respectfully integrate aspects of ourselves in pursuit of life fulfillment. This
intention anchors each of us on our journey in a way that we can call (and experience
as) home. And, from that home we will continue to expand life’s possibilities.

One of the most important discoveries for adults who experienced childhood
sexual, emotional, or physical abuse is that they are no longer the abused child.
Adulthood confers opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth which were
not available during childhood. It is often painful and difficult to see this
truth — that as adults we can now genuinely protect and nurture ourselves
in new ways as well as be nurtured by others.

Sex can be the way we make the most intimate contact with others — a
wonderful celebration of life. If you absorbed the culture’s, or your own
history’s, sexual shame and had inadequate or destructive models for sexual
development, sex can take on many other functions: a coping mechanism, an escape,
a mood adjustor, an identity, a covert way to fulfill unmet childhood needs, etc.
This group is designed to facilitate the incorporation of sex as a healthy,
working part of life. You will join in a healing community with others who also
bring a significant level of intention to create experiences.
A group will be forming this fall at The Institute for participants who are
willing to explore their sexual behavior with understanding, compassion and without
judgment (participation in a sexual recovery program is not required). The Institute’s
focus is recovery of Self: recovery of emotional, spiritual
and sexual wholeness. Our programs are for anyone seeking a path of personal growth
and healing.

Counselor Training
Friday, April 4, 2003
Veritas Villa, Kerhonkson, NY
This workshop will introduce recent wisdoms and learning drawn from “Authentic
Process Therapy” (APT) and other therapies illuminating the frontiers of
recovery psychotherapy. Defined as a multi-staged therapeutic modality for recovering
emotional, psychological, cultural, spiritual and sexual wholeness, APT has allowed
a glimpse of “what’s working in real time” and uncovers the possibility
for deeper healing and growth. The histories of both psychotherapy and recovery
will demonstrate the birth of APT, its basic components and how it and other energetic
new therapies are shifting the existing paradigms in addictions treatment. New
& timely resources will also be provided & explored.
