Avive la Vie Weekend Adventure

Experience – Connect — Belong

With Bestselling Author JF Benoist

The Avive la Vie weekend adventure is inspired by JF Benoist’s book Avive la Vie, An Adventure in Belonging.

This immersive weekend offers a profound understanding of how societal expectations shape our self-perception and influence our quest for acceptance. Throughout the experience, you will explore the six common myths of belonging that suggest our worth is dependent on external validation.

This journey will reveal a transformative approach to self-acceptance, tapping into inherent love and value from within. As we collectively embrace our inner strength and resilience, we will develop the skills to connect with our emotional selves and rise above our habitual thinking patterns.

True fulfillment comes from forming a genuine connection with ourselves, which includes deep self-love and acceptance, and from the ability to share our true selves openly and honestly with others.

The Avive la Vie weekend adventure offers transformative benefits:

  • Discover Your True Worth: Recognize your innate value and untapped courage, enhancing self-perception and self-esteem.
  • Build Confidence and Empowerment: Gain a strong sense of confidence, joy, and empowerment that you can truly believe in.
  • Connect with Your Inner Self: Tune into your emotional state and reconnect with your core, unique identity.
  • Develop Communication Skills: Learn and practice the skills of authentic communication and establish safe relational dynamics with others.
  • Engage in Collaborative Learning: Enjoy the process of breaking free from conditioned thinking and overcoming false belonging habits alongside peers who understand and share your experiences.
