Sacred Relationships
I spent a fair amount of time stumbling through one bad relationship after another until I realized the problem was not them, it was me! I started out by wanting to be the Knight in Shining Armor and save the damsel from her pain and suffering, thereby winning her hand. So, I found the broken person and once I “fixed” her, she no longer needed the savior and the relationship would falter. It was my childhood wounds that moved me into that pattern, believing I only had value if I could help/heal/fix my partner. And, the law of energy and attraction always draws to you what you are putting out there.
It took me several failed relationships - and even a failed marriage - to take a step back and look at what part I was playing. It became really clear that I was attracting the same person over and over again, and therefore, the opportunity for growth and finding a thriving, sacred relationship resided in me. At first that was frustrating, but then I realized it was empowering because I was totally in charge of my own destiny because I could change myself and do the inner work necessary for me to call in a different kind of partner. I called in the love of my life and we’ve been together since 1999.
Our relationship with our partner should be the primary connection in our life. We dedicate years of schooling and training to be the best in our work environment, but almost no time or training to be the best partner.
Mark J. Platten
Whether your currently in a relationship or are looking for a new one, sacred relationship is possible through working on your interior world and becoming an integral man. When that happens, you will show up in relationship as a whole person, not needing someone to fill and heal the broken parts of yourself. The power lies in being comfortable with not having to be in relationship, and therefore being able to say yes when it’s right, not because you are lonely.
Course Outline
This is a course on sacred relationship, but in truth, it is developing an integral relationship with yourself, healing the wounds and shadow parts that have contributed to past unhealthy relationships. This is a path for the courageous, for there are not many things on the outside world that are more challenging than facing our wounds and integrating them into our adult selves, and claim our fully integral selves.
It is the hero’s journey within and requires all the tools and skills you have gathered through your life. It also takes others who have traversed this path to guide you through the depths of yourself and move through the chasm that keeps you from your truest self in relationship. I look forward to walking with you on your journey.
