Participants will learn to recognize danger signals, trust their instincts, set verbal and physical boundaries, break the "panic-freeze" response and effectively deploy pepper-spray. You will also learn weapon retention, escape and evasion techniques and how to defend yourself if the pepper spray doesn't work.

Awakening the Warrior Within 2-Day Workshop
September 10 & 11, 2011
Carmel, CA This workshop is the first level of our Life Mastery Series. It is the foundation for all of our Warrior work.
Awakening the Warrior Within explores the conscious work we can do to fully realize our own potential. It connects each participant with their own inner power and the use of that power to break through old fears and limiting beliefs and achieve successful and fulfilling lives. The focus of the workshop is on the development of the Inner Warrior and the right of self -protection. We give you the tools to accurately assess a situation, read the physical and emotional climate, walk away when appropriate, negotiate when necessary, and protect yourself when there is no other choice. The workshop culminates in a realistic combat experience that serves as your Warrior's right of passage. This provides an experience of your Inner Warrior that unveils your own tremendous power and life potential. The results of this workshop are transformative, life-changing and permanent.

Level 2: Stalking the Shadow
Defense Against Weapons
Nov 12 & 13, 2011 For graduates of Level 1: Awakening the Warrior Within Stalking the Shadow is the intermediate level workshop offered in the Transformative Arts Institute's Life Mastery Series: Warrior, Shadow, Magician. The self-defense component of the workshop includes an introduction to defense against weapons. You will learn practical and effective disarms and counter attacks and once again have the opportunity to work with the Combat Team in refining your skills. Building on your empty-hand techniques from Awakening the Warrior it is the next step to physical mastery. AWW has devised a unique set of training skills that reflect the same excellence you have come to expect from us. The term "Shadow," refers to the parts of ourselves that are operating behind the curtain in our lives. These include many of our strengths, talents, passions and personal power. Stalking the Shadow calls forth the Warrior's life-enhancing qualities of courage, compassion, humor and authenticity to bring your Shadow into the light of awareness. A unique combination of drama, play, humor, film and communication skills helps us identify how the Shadow operates in our lives and to understand and use its power. By Awakening our Warrior, we learn to trust ourselves. It is the Warrior that connects us to our physical world; by Stalking our Shadow we learn to love ourselves feel our connection to each other.
