This is a recording archive of the live Lunch with Luminaries seminars that have been hosted at The Haven Online starting in 2021. This webinar series shares different perspectives on a variety of topics of interest to our community. These talks pay homage to early Haven days where co-founders Ben and Jock invited various thought leaders into conversation - sometimes they agreed with the ideas shared and sometimes they didn't.

通常我們會以我們所做的工作，我們的交友圈，或是我們的專業成就來定義自己。我們常被告知，年輕正是成長和改變的關鍵時期！我們也被期待著，在兼顧無數其他任務的『同時，』我們不要錯失了這關鍵的年輕時刻！現在加上當今政治和社會的動盪，抗爭衝突，以及全球疫情蔓延，年輕族群的生活真的變成了壓力，而不再是樂趣！無論清晰與否，我們對生活總有願景，我們規劃著如何向世界、向家人，或是向我們的伴侶證明自己。然而，面對這種種喘不過氣的壓力，學校與社會教育給年輕人的，似乎只是讓我們精進在個人的專業科目上，並沒有真正引導我們如何向內看，與自己的情感連結，面對失敗挫折，或者如何建立親密關係。在不了解自己的前提下，我們又怎麼知道自己想要什麼？~ So often we define ourselves by our jobs, our friend groups, our occupations and our accomplishments. As young people we are told that we are in a crucial period of growth and change, yet the expectation is that we do that while managing a thousand other tasks, all at once. When you pile on political and social upheaval, war and conflict, and a worldwide pandemic, life can become more of a stress than a pleasure. Whether we know it or not, we have a vision for our lives, mapping out how we want to prove ourselves to the world,…

Listen to Jock and his son, Kevin Wong, as they discuss Jock’s journey from doctor to co-founder of Haven, to current day. Jock McKeen, co-founder of the Haven, began his career as a medical doctor. Jock will discuss with Kevin their mutual attraction to the sciences, and Jock's expansion into the Eastern approaches to medicine and health. The journey continues onto Jock's meeting of Kevin’s father, psychiatrist Bennet Wong, and how their sharing of ideas eventually led to the birth of Haven. During this time, Kevin earned his PhD in Biochemistry, which led to rich conversations between Jock, Ben and…

Are any of these statements true for you? ~ I sometimes feel isolated and alone. ~ It's important to me to be heard and acknowledged. ~ Hearing about other people's experiences helps me feel connected. ~ I want to learn more about the Haven or practice the skills I've learned. ~ I benefit from reminders and accountability to check in with myself and prioritize my wellbeing.
ONSITE: Anger, Boundaries and Safety
With Greg Gurel
March 23 - 26, 2023
In Person at The Haven
This program offers participants opportunities to both express and witness the safe and boundaried expression of anger. This is helpful for people who have previously expressed their anger violently and no longer want to do this. It is also crucial for people who say they never get angry or, perhaps because of early experiences of violence, avoid any hint of anger today. For both these groups of people, emotional, physical and relationship dysfunction may have resulted. This program will open up exciting new possibilities for you, whatever experiences of anger and/or violence you have had until now.

Breathing is far more than the unconscious functioning of our autonomic nervous system which we usually take for granted. In many languages the word for spirit and breath are the same, suggesting that breathing is the movement of spirit in matter. Breath has been referred to as the cord that ties the soul to the body. It is the integrating force for the multiple dimensions of our whole-person existence. When we work properly with our emotional body using breath, previously restricting issues fuel and fertilize new growth.

A boundary is not a "thing" – instead, defining a personal boundary is an active process that is more accurately described as "boundary-ing." This is an awkward word to say – and often even more awkward to put into practice effectively! And the rewards are well worth it. Discerning, expressing and dialoguing about personal boundaries strengthens our ability to live more compassionately, to access creativity, energy and aliveness so that we enjoy greater intimacy and clarity in our personal and work relationships.
