In a highly experiential and choice-based environment, you’ll immerse yourself in The Haven’s models and concepts, with opportunities to go deeper, practice, and expand your range of being. Participants are encouraged to question their assumptions, explore their beliefs, and challenge their patterns in a respectful environment. Join a community of seekers and engage in the ultimate experience of self-discovery and transformation.

Self-Awareness – becoming aware of my unique patterns of behaviour and energy

Living Alive program Highlights:

• An in-depth opportunity to engage more consciously and fully in your life and relationships.
• Time away to reconnect with yourself and nature on The Haven’s beautiful 7-acre oceanfront property.
• An opportunity to take your personal growth and Haven-style learning to the next level. 
• For those who have attended a Come Alive, we will take a deeper dive into The Haven’s models: Communication, Power & Strength, Resonance, Selves.

• Guided experiences designed to heighten your physical, intellectual, and emotional awareness.
• A meaningful and enduring investment in your wellbeing: 25 days of radical self-discovery and transformation.
• Experienced program leaders, who are highly trained at The Haven and in their various professions.
• Deep investment, continuity, and care from assistants and interns who bring a variety of diverse and complementary skill sets to their Haven training. This support team means a low ratio of participants to leaders. 
• A long history with hundreds of Living Alive participants reporting continued personal and professional transformation post-program.
• Take-home tools to support integration of learning.
• A full program schedule, plus daily breaks for introspection, connecting with others, rest, relaxing in the oceanfront hot tub, exploring nearby trails, and more.
