Journey to Balance: Thrive by balancing your Inner Masculine and Feminine – by Loraine Magda

Sixth of Six Wednesday Evening Workshops – The cost listed is for the all six evenings.
About the Course
The idea of balancing the inner masculine and feminine is not new e.g. balancing Yin and Yang, but it is not widely understood either. This is because it is subtle and the idea of inner balance was at odds with the prevailing thinking of the past two eras.
The past two eras – Matriarchy and Patriarchy – were about exploring the polarities up to and including the point of imbalance. Now, as we enter a New Era, we are called to explore the balance and harmony between these two polarities using the best of both. This journey begins with ourselves. Loraine has discovered that masculine and feminine energies are equal, co-creative universal forces available to everyone, and harnessing them brings enormous benefits.
Because of the spiritual principle “As within, so without”, inner balance and harmony enables us to be in the flow of life, receive “nature support” and thrive in almost every aspect of life. The benefits are enormous!
In this course, you will discover what the Inner Masculine and Feminine are (“a modern-day interpretation of Yin and Yang”), what it means/does not mean to be balanced and how to get there in your own way. You will discover the Ten Benefits of Balance including enhanced self-awareness and self-esteem, living a purpose-driven life, enjoying whole-person relationships, greater work-life balance, significantly more effective leadership and co-creating a better world just by being who you are. All this begins by balancing within.

The return of the Isis Mysteries…
The epoch we live in now is a mirror of the great Egyptian era. Many of the mysteries enacted in the ancient temples are now part of the inner life of modern humanity. Egyptian wisdom is thus truly attractive to the modern person who instinctively is drawn to their mysteries which have relevance to the inner soul life, striving and struggle of our time. Gain insight into epoch making understanding as we experience the Isis Osiris mysteries funeral rites and the Pharaohs power. Learn what brought us to this point and how to rise out of it! Through these mysteries we can understand the importance ancient Africa and the role it has to play again the Immediate future for the whole world history.

Journey to Balance: Thrive by balancing your Inner Masculine and Feminine – by Loraine Magda
2017-03-08 19:00 - 21:00 | The Novalis Ubuntu Institute – Art Room, Rosmead Avenue, Wynbgerg, Cape Town
For Personal Development Programme bookings at The Novalis Ubuntu Institute please email Blessing Makumbe at blessing@novalis.org.za or telephone 021 797 1857.
First of Six Wednesday Evening Workshops – The cost listed is for the all six evenings.
About the Course
The idea of balancing the inner masculine and feminine is not new e.g. balancing Yin and Yang, but it is not widely understood either. This is because it is subtle and the idea of inner balance was at odds with the prevailing thinking of the past two eras.
The past two eras – Matriarchy and Patriarchy – were about exploring the polarities up to and including the point of imbalance. Now, as we enter a New Era, we are called to explore the balance and harmony between these two polarities using the best of both. This journey begins with ourselves. Loraine has discovered that masculine and feminine energies are equal, co-creative universal forces available to everyone, and harnessing them brings enormous benefits.
Because of the spiritual principle “As within, so without”, inner balance and harmony enables us to be in the flow of life, receive “nature support” and thrive in almost every aspect of life. The benefits are enormous!
In this course, you will discover what the Inner Masculine and Feminine are (“a modern-day interpretation of Yin and Yang”), what it means/does not mean to be balanced and how to get there in your own way. You will discover the Ten Benefits of Balance including enhanced self-awareness and self-esteem, living a purpose-driven life, enjoying whole-person relationships, greater work-life balance, significantly more effective leadership and co-creating a better world just by being who you are. All this begins by balancing within.

FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE:
‘If you don’t know how to manage and work with a small amount of money, you won’t know how to work with a large amount of money and will repeat the same mistakes.’
Attending this Financial Confidence workshop in a small group will give you personal attention and empower you with the tools and understanding to:

manage your finances with awareness and confidence
make informed decisions about spending, saving, debt and acquiring assets
change your negative patterns and impact those around you in a positive manner.

WHAT WILL A SESSION COVER?
During an interactive four-hour session we will cover:

Our attitudes towards money
Income (This includes sources of income and division of income)
Expenditure (How do we spend? Why do we spend? How do we use accounts, cash and a budget?)
Debt (Why we get into debt, reducing debt, managing debt, loans, interest rates)
Saving (What saving entails and why it is important, which platforms to use, policies, RAs, investments)
Managing your money (Reading statements, your credit profile, your will).
Money and Relationships

Attendees will have the opportunity to work as individuals, in pairs and in groups. They will complete worksheets to reinforce the learning, get insight into their financial habits and to refer to and use after the course.
Although the training is interactive and discussion is encouraged, no personal financial information is shared.
OUTCOMES OF A SESSION
The intention of the training is to:

give participants more confidence and motivation to manage their money effectively
enable individuals to reduce debt over time
encourage people to save and be financially self-sufficient enough to acquire assets.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Lower income earners who are financially more vulnerable and who lack financial knowledge
Individuals who are blacklisted, have garnishee orders or credit problems
Individuals entering the job market for the first time
Employees who face retrenchment
Anyone who wants better insight into their financial behaviour and well-being.
