Are Your Commitments Bigger than You Can Possibly Accomplish Alone?

~Then you NEED Partnership~

How about learning PARTNERSHIP from a Horse?

Alison Armstrong has been combining her unique insight into Partnership with the magic of Michele Skerl and the magnificence of her specially trained horses ~ to alter your capacity for Partnership at your core.

Why HORSES? Because they are remarkably like MEN! They live in a paradigm of Respect rather than Being Liked; they respond only to Clear Communication; they want to be Heroes for you and not merely "dust the piano." They also have the fastest reactions of any domesticated animal (faster than a cat!). This makes them excellent trainers in all endeavors that require integrity and unclouded communication. Your horse will provide the 1000-pound visual and visceral learning tool to get the principles of Partnership in every fiber of your body.

CORE PARTNERSHIP is now CO-ED ~ Men and Women are Welcome!

Imagine an extraordinary week with a dozen women and men, where you align your heart's desires, your will and your intention with an expanded ability to communicate clearly and powerfully in partnership. This intimate and life-altering course with Alison Armstrong and "horse wizard" Michele Skerl is limited to 12 men and women who have completed the PAX curriculum. (See below for specific prerequisites)

Core Partnership is a breakthrough in what is possible from profoundly shifting your BEING to match the language and tools you've learned at PAX. If you have used the Language of Heroes, the Needs Conversation, Deal-Making, and Boundary Setting -- and STILL don't have the results you want -- the one-on-one attention and kinesthetic experience with horses will make the difference. And you'll have that surrounded by beautiful Rocky Mountain peaks and dramatic vistas of western Colorado.

Wondering if Core Partnership is for you? Take this QUIZ to find out:

• When making a request -- Do you choose from what you think you can get from that person? Instead of asking for your heart's desire?
• Do you frequently imagine what you don't want?
• Do you assume you'll get a "No" and strategize for a "Yes?"
• Have you ever been accused of nagging? Of pressuring? Of not giving anyone "room to breathe?"
• Do you feel the need to micro-manage at work, in your family or in your relationship?
• Do you feel you have to do everything yourself?
• Do you worry about Trust?
• Do you struggle with releasing accountability to others?
• Are you passionate about Partnership?
• Are you committed to an extraordinary family, business or community?
• Are you committed to excellence as a partner, manager or executive?

If you answered YES to even one of these questions, Core Partnership is for you -- But only if you're willing to never have these complaints again. And you're interested in trading the illusion of control for the reality of being provided for in vibrant partnerships everywhere in your life. What could happen if you were a living, breathing, open invitation for partnership?

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN in CORE PARTNERSHIP:

Classroom concepts will be immediately expressed and experienced with the horses waiting for us nearby...

• Honoring Your SELF and Your SPACE: Partnership is only possible when there is a fully self-expressed person available to be part of something. Too often, women lose themselves in pleasing and men lose themselves in providing, thereby making partnership impossible. Learn how to not collapse in on your potential partners and to not disappear in a relationship.
• Ask and Release: Learn how to ask for what you need and then trust it will be provided for you. Create the unoccupied space needed for others to generate for you, without nagging or micro-managing.
• Core Communication: Shift your way of being to create consistency between what is in your heart and what you're communicating verbally and non-verbally. Drop down out of your head and into your core. These communications are the clearest, most powerful and get the biggest response from man, woman and horse alike.
• Intimacy and Boundaries: Instinct may have you believe that you can set boundaries or have intimacy - one or the other. Learn how to have them exist simultaneously. When working with Michele's horses, you will experience that boundaries can cause affection, love and intimacy. In Core Partnership, you will experience that when you initiate intimacy you are not giving up your right to set boundaries. You can do both without causing distance or disempowerment.
• Become Conscious of your Attention: Our intention follows our attention. But we don't realize that our attention is often on what we don't want, while we're talking about what we do want. Horses are acutely aware of our attention and intentions and respond quickly. Their awareness helps us become conscious of the mixed messages we send.
• Grabbing the Reigns: Break through the cycle of "grabbing back the reigns," one of the most disempowering behaviors in men and women. Learn to allow the people in your life to provide, solve problems, take care of you and keep you safe. Ladies -- Grant men the room, power and freedom they need to provide for you and to make you happy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WORKING WITH HORSES:

1. Do I need to like horses to benefit from this course?
   No, you don't need to like them. They will train you with powerful, clear, immediate feedback regardless of how you feel about them.
2. What if I'm afraid of horses?
   Fear is often a result of Objectification, one of the biggest barriers to Partnership. Fear is fine if you're committed to breaking through it and are willing to receive support. As you recognize the distinct, amazing BEING on the other end of the rope, awaiting your partnership, you won't ever be the same.
3. Do I need prior horse experience to take this course?
   No prior experience is necessary. This is a course in partnership, not horsemanship.
4. Will we ride the horses?
   The coursework with the horses will happen on the ground, face-to-face with your four-legged partner. This provides the best kinesthetic experience and development of your ability to communicate, create trust, release accountability and own space.
