A dose of "Sex, Love and Rock Your Soul" may just be what the doctor ordered to rekindle the fire in your relationship, whether you're in a new relationship, want to improve the one you're currently in or need to get out of a bad relationship.
An electrifying relationship-building workshop facilitated by clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist Dr. Constance Avery-Clark will be held on Saturday, April 28 to help couples change the way they look at their relationship. The Jung Society event will be held at the Sheraton Resort on Cable Beach from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Jung Society committee member Fred Flischer, who is also a psychoanalyst, encourages couples and individuals to attend to find new ways to return the life to their relationships.
"This will be the fresh air that many relationships are lacking," said Flischer. "Dr. Avery-Clark is an amazing speaker who is very personable. She has a great approach and way of bringing her points across. In her own words she says this relationship workshop is about who's playing lead guitar in the rock band of your blood and how not to get heartbroken by that person. It's also about not losing your own soul while the music is still rocking. The event will take an in-depth look at relationships and teach the average person about what makes and breaks relationships."
What makes people attracted to certain people but not others will be one of the many topics up for discussion. Seminar participants will also get to talk about why some relationships are magnetic and seemingly impossible to shake off, and why some relationships help individuals to be the person God intended for them to be and why others don't. Dr. Avery-Clarke will also speak about the dynamics involved in a good relationship and how to pursue one as well as what constitutes a bad relationship and how to deal with it.
"This will not be the typical relationship seminar. It will be a down-to-earth event that will express things in ways that are relatable and easy to understand. It will be fun because of the way Dr. Avery-Clark will tackle these topics and get the crowd involved," said Flischer. "This is not about her going up there to lecture, but rather to help couples and individuals discover what is missing and interact with one another to better it. The answer is not in her words alone but in how people apply it and what they choose to learn from it."
Flischer said there will also be a question and answer session during which time people will be allowed to air their concerns and hear the opinion of an expert. He said it will be the kind of thing you would find in a personal relationship analysis session and that this public forum will make people comfortable and see that others face some problems they do as well."
According to Flischer an event like this is overdue in the country and he hopes people will attend out of curiosity and stay for the deep, informative nature of the workshop.
"At the end of the day, we just want to inspire loving environments and show people how they can make their relationships better. We want to encourage people to stop looking at the surface of things happening around them and realize a major part of all this crime is the weakened relationships or poor relations people have with one another. We want to show how to get in the right relationships and maintain them. It is not easy but it will be worthwhile especially if you know which direction you are going," said Flischer.
The Jung Society of Nassau presents workshops periodically to help people look more deeply into everyday events of their lives. The society was started two-and-a-half years ago by people interested in Carl Jung and his insights into the human soul. They were deeply impressed by how his insight dovetailed with the message of Jesus. Much like Jung believed that all people, no matter their mental state could be helped, the Jung Society wanted to provide a means to help people to help themselves through events like this.
Tickets for the relationship seminar are $50 and can be purchased at Custom Computers, Cable Beach and Harbour Bay Shopping Centre locations; Logos Bookstore, Harbour Bay Shopping Centre and Unity Center on East Street. For more information, telephone 328-6523.
