Unspoken Boundaries: Foundation Level Workshops

Are you TIRED of people making you tired, angry, and irritable?

If so, these workshops are for you.

 

As humans, we can all use better boundaries…

Unspoken Boundaries is a workshop for learning about energy boundaries in everyday life. It involves deepening a connection to divine energy. It is about shifting one's perspective from being a victim to seeing the world, and other people, entirely differently. It is about not merging and staying embodied. It is about being a profound witness to other people's pain, but not absorbing it or feeling it. It is about self-care on the most profound level.

Unspoken Boundaries is not a religious workshop. It has a spiritual core, but whatever your spiritual orientation is welcome.

These workshop will help you to…

  • Have energy for your own life at the end of the week

  • Stop people from draining your energy

  • Set clear boundaries in all parts of your life: family, friends, and relationships

You will learn to…

  • Avoid merging and keep people from merging with you

  • Experience compassion and empathy without absorbing the pain

  • Be aware of boundary crossing, and correct it in the moment

Boundary Sentinel is the introductory level workshop for learning the basic concepts of Unspoken Boundaries, the daily meditations and first aid tools. This workshop mostly takes place in institutional settings as there is a very low vulnerability requirement. Length of this workshop is 2-2.5 hours.

Boundary Warrior is the foundation workshop. To be able to progress to the next levels, this is a prerequisite. Boundary Sentinel is not required.

This workshop includes everything covered in Boundary Sentinel, and it takes participants on a journey exploring different energetic boundaries, discovering their boundary deficits, and the reasons for them. The work requires deep vulnerability to benefit the most from it. A limit of 6 participants and the instructor assures its intimacy; there can often be tears of release. Participants often emerge with a different paradigm of being in the world, and most are now fully embodied. They even look physically different at the end of the class. Length of this workshop is 9 hours.

Please read some of the testimonials on the website to give you an idea of the impact of the workshop. All of the participants are commenting about Boundary Warrior.

I’ve been working on developing boundaries for years, but found what I learned in a day at Merle’s boundaries workshop to be life-changing. I was always feeling beyond my boundaries to try to stay safe. Not only did changing that habit increase my energy and intuition, it also gave me insight into others on a deeper level. Merle is extremely sensitive to every nuance that occurs in his workshop. Even if a participant avoids experiencing an emotion, he’s aware and can help guide them to healing. Beautiful to experience, and beautiful to watch the process unfold in others.

My experience with the Unspoken Boundaries Workshop had an immediate and lasting impact on my professional and personal life. As a therapist and empath, I found myself unable to recover energetically from a typical workday. I have practiced many self care methods between clients, but nothing compares to the tools I developed around my own energetic space. Where I stop, someone else starts. How can I avoid merging my clients’ energy with my own and still connect to them on a empathic level?

Merle’s gentle but direct guidance is instrumental in looking at energy blocks that keep you from living your best life. His intuition and clairvoyance are carefully implemented with the purpose of healing and bringing peace to his clients. Whether your relationships are personal, professional, or other, his workshop is a must and I highly recommend it.

Merle’s Unspoken Boundaries Workshop was transformational! Living as a highly sensitive person and empath, I found myself exhausted after social interactions, people-pleasing at my own expense, and losing myself in relationships. This workshop gave me tools and practices to use on a daily basis to help me maintain personal boundaries, protect myself, release unhealthy patterns, and relate in an easier way. The experiential practices and personalized attention got right to the heart of my wounding and helped me move through it quickly and gracefully. Merle’s kind and playful presence created a safe container to heal on a deep level while having fun. I highly recommend this work to anyone who wants to heal and grow, personally, professionally, and relationally.
