Fear to Power, Power to Fear: Women’s Voices in Group - AGPA Half-day Workshop
"What are the words you do not yet have? What do you need to say?" -Audre Lorde.
Mindful Founder and Executive Director, Yoon Kane will be co-leading a half-day experiential training group with Saralyn Masselink in Los Angeles. This training opportunity for therapists will explore cultural expectations as a ‘passionate bad fit’ for women and ways they are unconsciously repeated in group.
From a young age, women receive messages about how to be nice, compliant, accommodate others, and gain approval, both from the family and the communities they grow up in. These messages arrest women’s natural development of a sense of self-worth and entitlement. There is a dichotomy introduced into young female psyches that sets women up to believe that the cost of being powerful is a loss of connection and belonging.
These culturally-sanctioned beliefs that govern patterns of behavior are unconscious and are played out and repeated in group dynamics. Group also has the potential to encourage people to have new experiences that foster new beliefs and paradigms and offers opportunities to try on and test out fresh ideas and ways of being.
These experiential training workshops will explore questions such as: What are women’s relationships to having power and agency? What does the fear of power communicate about the female self and early relationships with caregivers? How can group provide reparative experiences that counter dysfunctional cultural norms? The group leader can help members become conscious of these limiting dynamics and establish new norms that offer the space for maturational experiences previously limited by socio-cultural conditions.

Getting to the heart of the matter: Unlocking Blocks to Intimacy
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” -Rumi
Who are you in a relationship? What would it look like to live an open-hearted life? Are you ready to resolve what holds you back from getting what you want in relationships? By discovering how and why we get in our own way, we are more equipped to both stops the cycle of defeating relationship patterns and repair the parts of ourselves that block us from finding and keeping the love we want.

Mindful Intimacy Workshop
Starting a relationship requires staying present with yourself and the person you are building a connection with. Yet dating triggers so many feelings that it can be hard to stay grounded and open. Mindful dating is playful, exploratory and curious. It invites you to take a fresh approach that cultivates inner balance and self-confidence. Through learning to work with your fears and defenses, you can stay in touch with the most alive and dynamic parts of yourself as you meet and engage with others.
The mindful dating workshop is a series of group-oriented experiences that offer support, insight, and actionable skills. Through sharing stories, writing, and reflecting with others, you will expand your heart in a way that makes dating fun, instructive and enlivening.
Mindful dating originated from our professional training and our own 20+ years of combined experience dating in New York City. Finding our current committed relationships was not about quick fixes, dating rules, or tricks and was instead a process of softening, accepting, and welcoming the full range of feelings that come with intimacy and courageous love. Each of us experienced the humbling realization that our Ivy League educations and professional successes didn’t prepare us for the inner work and emotional skills needed to find the relationships we wanted. We’re excited to offer a dating approach that honors authentic and compassionate connection with self and others.
Participants of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome, whether you are currently trying to maintain a relationship, just ending a relationship, or striving to start one.
