Workshop: Breaking out of the Box: Creative Problem Solving in the Four Directions Workshop Description: As we work through the problems that face us in work or home life, most of us are working inside a “box” of perceptions and options. Sometimes that works well, sometimes not. The Four Directions process helps us step outside of that box, see it, and go beyond it to a place of new perspectives, understandings, and options. Come have an “aha” experience as you break out of your box.

Based on painful experiences in the past, and in an attempt to protect ourselves, we agree to unspoken contracts in our relationships that often create distance from those we love. Our dilemma consists of how much we are willing to forgo the feelings of comfort and safety in our protected state in order to allow ourselves the profound connections for which we yearn – with ourselves and with others. The question not only becomes whether to connect or to protect, but more specifically how to find a balance between the two.
