I just came home from participating in the international call and the whole trip back I had a smile on my face and in my heart! It is amazing: I just sat around a telephone with a bunch of lovely people with a connection and could feel how my heart opened up just through being there.

Thank you Ariel & Shya and everybody for sharing transformation! I wish you all a big smile on your face and in your heart!

Ariel & Shya offer an alternative to making New Year's resolutions. Join them for this exciting event and discover how to have your life (and year) transform in an instant.
Passion: Revitalize Your Life
Have you ever noticed how a child can be passionately engaged in the simplest of things? How did we lose our passion for life? The answer to that question will not bring back the passion. This seminar will. Being human on planet Earth erodes passion and, if we tell the truth, life generally becomes more about getting through our day, getting what we think will make us happy, and getting ahead rather than being passionately involved in what we are up to. Wouldn't it be wonderful to feel as though everything you do matters, and as if just by being alive you make a difference? In this seminar you will discover and reclaim your passion for life.

The Freedom to Breathe
is designed for people who want to dissolve the unconscious restrictions which limit their lives. Using breath as a tool, it is a gentle entry into the moment, which can release past trauma, both emotional and physical, and result in a dramatically expanded sense of oneself.
The Freedom to Breath/Art of Being a Healer was a splendid and warm workshop in which I not only felt connected to Life, but also had the wonderful opportunity to experience the cumulative effect of many past workshops led by the Kanes. During the breath exercise, I really saw how thoughts are just thoughts (and usually not true), and how well in my own skin I have grown to feel. Magic - Thank you!!
-Erica O.The Freedom to Breathe is truly a gift for me. I recently acquired an allergy to certain airborne pollutants that affect my upper respiratory tract. Concerns about doing the Breath Workshop arose, fearing that my condition would be triggered. To my surprise the technique had a therapeutic effect on my condition. I was breathing strongly and confidently and became medicine free for at least a month after the weekend.
Give yourself the gift of The Freedom to Breathe. It's simple, it's fun, and full of many wonderful surprises unique to each individual participant.
-Ellen J., Artist, Loving Mother and WifeClick here to register Tell It Like It Is: The Power of Being Clear and Direct
Wouldn't you just love to communicate in a clear, straight-to-the-point, engaging way – whether speaking in public, or just telling a friend that they have spinach in their teeth? Most of us don't just say what we have to say because we're worried that we'll sound stupid, or won't be liked. Or that being truthful with someone means being harsh and hurtful. (Not true!). Think how you sit up and listen when someone says exactly what they mean. Or just straight-up tells the truth. They really make an impact. And you can, too! In this seminar, you'll learn the art of expressing yourself clearly and directly. Discover how powerful you can be in your communications, and everywhere else in your life.

The Art of Listening
Did you ever stop to think what the quality of your life would be like if you could listen more effectively? What if a shift in the way you listen made life easier, so that you were more successful at work, in social situations and in your personal relationships? The Art of Listening is a dynamic interactive workshop where you will discover the fundamental keys to effective listening and the barriers that prevent us from having satisfying communication with those around us. This seminar will apply the Principles of Transformation so that the act of listening will naturally and effortlessly expand your ability to access the moment and experience a sense of well-being.
The Kanes' seminars have made a dramatic impact in my ability to listen.
I have a hearing disability. Without my hearing aids, I have only 5% of hearing in one ear
and 25% in the other, and with my hearing aids I have about 50% in both ears. When I listen to a
conversation I cannot hear every word that is being said, and what I have discovered about
listening is that it is not about how much you can hear but about how much you are willing to let in
what the other person has to say, without judging it or commenting on it.
When you are truly listening magic happens. If you can really hear what a person is saying
your judgments on yourself and others disappear and this is a space for transformation, aliveness,
and the completion of things. I thank the Kanes for supporting me to move past having a hearing
"disability" into being an effective listener and communicator.
-Tony M., Owner of a Furniture Design CompanyThe Art of Relating
We all wish to relate with others with sense of intimacy and personal satisfaction but most of us have never been taught how to access this state of harmony and well-being. When you discover how to be present in every day moments, as if each and everything you do matters, then you will experience the simplicity and awesome nature of life.
Through discussions and laughter you will discover how to relate to colleagues, friends, and loved ones in a more honest and natural way, be satisfied in all areas of your life and remain centered during life's challenges. In The Art of Relating you will discover how to feel good in your own skin and how to relate in a fulfilling way with everyone and everything, including and perhaps most especially, with yourself.
I've been going about my day feeling like a newborn baby. There is a quality of vulnerability and not having to put up defenses: I don't feel the need to come up with quick-witted retorts and replies; I haven't needed to impress anyone or put up an act or think about how I can defend myself if this or that happens, etc. I'm just feeling my way throughout my day. It's incredible. There's a feeling of tenderness and softness and it is amazing. A strong and steadfast stillness.

Over the course of the weekend I fell back in love with my life.
I feel so energized and excited about my projects. Thanks again!
-Zuta G., Fitness professionalThis weekend was amazing... I always thought of excellence as an end product. An example would be a dance I was working on. If the end product was excellent, it would have been ok if I stressed myself out. That's not the case. For example, I had a habit of arriving late to work; I realized that's not excellence to be late...I am cheating myself by being behind at work. Even now I am emailing this on my lunch hour only. That's a step towards excellence.

- Erica O., Attorney at Large Biotech CompanyFun as the Access Way to Enlightenment
Sounds like a novel idea doesn't it? Most of us have the idea that the attainment of Enlightenment or Self-Realization has to be arduous, difficult, take a long time and that it is hard to attain. The middle word in enlightenment is "light" and to approach enlightenment one needs a lightness of spirit. It cannot be serious or hard work. This course does not require meditation or any other self-improvement technique. It only requires your willingness to have fun.
Before I met you I was convinced that I couldn't be successful and have fun.
Now I am convinced that I can't be truly successful and not have fun!

Still feeling the effects of the weekend. Wow!!! In all the marriage counseling my husband and I have had, we made more headway in just 2 and a half days. I feel physically lighter and my breath has become easier.
-Suzanne C.Attending Live in the Moment Not in Your Thoughts in Hamburg, Germany was one great gifts that I given to myself. I am not sure what happened during the workshop, and cannot put my finger on it, but I feel fundamentally different, like something inside me shifted. When I came back to my life here in Manhattan, everything was brilliant yet calm and peaceful. The outside circumstances had not changed but I feel like a weight was lifted from my being. Life is a breeze and it feels so real! And the coolest thing is that it gets better every day! If anyone had ever told me life could be like this, I would not have believed it.

"When it's hot, it's hot. When it's not, it's not." And when it wasn't, I used to always blame it on someone else. Ah, yes, if THEY would only change. Well, I found I created many opportunities to "be right" about why it wasn't working, but I also discovered that I had a long series of anything but magical relationships. I had almost given up. Then I met Ellen and we got married 12 years ago...really good move. And then we started working with the Kanes...made a really good move even better.
One of our favorite workshops is "Magical Relationships." In that playful, weekend seminar, the tools for personal transformation and having relationships that work become very real and available. The term "partnership" takes on a whole new meaning. Listening becomes an art form. And the stage is set to fall in love for the first time...or over and over and over again...magic CAN (and does) happen!

The Simplicity workshop I attended this weekend was so potent that I find myself more fully engaged in taking care of things I've been putting off than ever before. I don't know what it is, but I love the way it feels to get stuff done!!! Thank you Ariel and Shya, my life is GREAT!!!!! Thank you my friends!!!!
-Joe C., New York, NYAt the end of the simplicity workshop, I felt a sense of complete well being. I had been feeling pretty dim this past fall and sought out the Kanes because continuing to live a dim life was not going to cut it. The Monday after the seminar I walked outside my front door and felt like I walked into a pop up book of my neighborhood and life. Everything was super 3-D. People I don't know were saying hi to me on the street and I began taking care of the members that attend the fitness classes I teach, just being there for them. Attendance in one of my classes increased by 3x since last week. I could go on and on with evidence that living in the moment is working for me!!! i'm loving and living it!
