Open Awareness (OA) promotes flowing moments of pure experience – interconnected with the rest of reality!

.

At this weekend event you will learn how to:.

• Transcend the ego states that limit your personal, professional and spiritual growth.

• Establish mindful resilience in challenging situations (dissolve stress).

• Enhance relationships and communication flexibility.

• Access your authentic creativity and flow mode.

• Hold The Space for healing and transformation.

• Actualize your mind-body-spirit connection.

I enjoyed the OA weekend thoroughly and it exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed the fact that it was not airy-fairy stuff, but based on neurological and psychological facts, but still had a powerful effect on me as a human being. My biggest insight was that I can change my “filters” and “programming” (neurological pathways) from a young age up to now to have a better and more baggage free life and that I can live more aware and mindful every day and experience other people and life in a new way. – Aisie Sinclair

What is Open Awareness?
.

• OA is a mindful mode of perception accompanied by a calm and receptive state.
  .
• OA cultivates metacognitive introspective awareness – in which the mind can observe its own state and activities – an awareness of the mind itself.
  .
• OA enhances extrospective awareness – sensory perceptions and bodily sensations.
  .
• OA reframes one’s current experience of self, placing phenomena within one’s awareness, as opposed to these being experienced separate from oneself. This reduces distress and promotes a sense of interconnection.
  .
• OA techniques can help to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of excessive screen-time (smartphones & tablets).

Changing and clarifying your direction in life, dismantling limitations or resistances, overcoming impediments, liberating yourself from enslaving patterns, attachments and addictions, freeing repressed emotions, shifting from control into flow, identifying and learning how to utilise your innate potential…. are some of the typical outcomes that you can expect to experience by attending the OA weekend.

The OA weekend was delivered professionally with sensitivity and intuition. The integration of theory and experience and practice was seamless and impressive – a remarkable journey! It was life-changing. I loved every second of this event! – Dr Hennie Geldenhuys

.
This transformational and empowering 2-day event is presented by the developers of the OA techniques – Jevon Dangeli (MSc Transpersonal Psychology, Certified NLP Trainer) and Dr Hennie Geldenhuys.

The OA techniques are based on transpersonal psychology and mindfulness approaches that enable people to maintain mindful resilience in the presence of any challenge. You will learn how to embody OA, which promotes more resourceful responses in all types of stressful situations, thereby preventing burnout.

I loved every moment of this event. My greatest learning was that I am so much more than what I ever could have dreamt of. Broken to whole. Sad to strong. Heavy to light. Lost to found. Dark to bright. Crumbling to solid. Empty to complete. Seeking to fulfilled. Hope to reality! – Lana Sinclair

.
The OA weekend is for anyone who wants to elevate their level of personal development and spiritual growth. This event is for ordinary people who are curious about the unconscious phenomena that determine our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is also for those who are already experienced in psychological and spiritual interventions.

Although there is often a felt sense of interconnection amongst participants at the OA weekends, as well as with the greater context of humanity, each individual’s space, privacy and intentions for attending this event are respected. Nobody is required to interact with others in the group or talk about their experiences during the group discussions.

.

The OA weekend will enable you to:
.

• Put a stop to the thoughts and feelings that you don’t want, and replace them with a state of proactive inner peace
  .
• Update the negative programming that affects your unwanted moods and behaviours
  .
• Use more of your mind for greater fulfilment in your personal and professional life
  .
• Establish your central purpose in life and the motivation to fulfil it
  .
• Deal more effectively with confrontation and relationship issues
  .
• Be mindfully resilient in all types of challenging situations
  .
• Overcome mental blocks swiftly and get back in the flow
  .

In addition to being a complete event, the OA weekend also serves as the first module of the OA Facilitator Training – which consists of 3 modules over a period of 3 months (one weekend per month), along with a comprehensive home-study programme and ongoing supervision.

The OA weekend also serves as the first 2 days of the 6-day ASE Facilitator Training.
.

You’ve given me a new outlook, motivation and general desire to take life on, rather than just sort of endure it. You have my deepest gratitude for making this possible. – Jacques Smit
.

OA empowers people to be in control in stressful situations by allowing for a variety of responses rather than being in a ‘knee jerk reaction’ mode. It also enables the individual to decide their own outcome in any situation instead of being controlled by external influences. – Grigor Stewart

What I enjoyed most about the OA weekend event is that the methodology works… I feel empowered. I have tools that can guide me and enable me to be more in control of my life, thoughts and actions. Life does not have to be auto-pilot! Sometimes in the past… it felt as if life was happening to me… I now feel that I can affect life, in how I feel, experience and engage with life… future, past and present. – Marius Botha
.

Jevon, your structure, process and language was nothing short of superb. The response from the participants was superlative. I was especially taken by the beautiful way you held the space. Gentle, strong, present, connected. Jevon, that was really beautiful. Hats off to you! Thank you so much for your generosity, with your time, expertise and with your Spirit. – Laura Spicer
