The Journey from your head
to your heart
Our heads are wonderful tools we use everyday for thinking, problem solving, studying and running our lives.
But our emotional lives—the place of our happiness, joy, peace and love—live in our hearts. In this entertaining workshop, Maia will show you how to make the personal journey from your head to your heart and all the roads blocks, freeways and maps to use to get there safely and start living a heart-centered life. |
"Maia is an excellent workshop facilitator. Her workshops incorporates creativity and emotional exploration which helps our clients express themselves in new and important ways. She is very diligent about communicating, brainstorming and providing assistance when needed. I'm glad to have her as part of our team." |
Self Love 101
"Self-love" is one of the most known expressions in today’s world, but what does it really mean? Practiced from a real place inside of us and from our hearts, self-love can be the most powerful tool in our everyday lives. Yet in order to get there, we need to really take a good look at ourselves and our self-hate, self-bullying, self-rejection and everything that’s stopping us from truly loving and accepting ourselves.
In this original and interactive workshop, Maia will take your group through an experience of getting to know the different parts of themselves using humor and original visual storytelling. Your group will learn how to reach greater self-love all while being entertained and inspired. |
"Maia's workshop was not what I expected it was so much more, it wasn't just a workshop of handouts but to go within to identify what emotions, beliefs, fears, etc you're holding onto that are causing blocks. The workshop is worth so much more than the fee. Best 3 hours of learning I've had in a long time! Maia Akiva is a great teacher & facilitator." |
Life/Work Balance - How do
you want to feel today?
Life/work balance is a challenge we all face as working people. How do you find your peace, your relaxation and your personal quiet time while still having to show up for work and do your duties as well as keep and honor all of your personal commitments and responsibilities? The solution may be simpler than you think.
In this powerful workshop, Maia will show you new ways of making decisions and prioritizing your life based on your feelings and emotions, which are the source of your real motivation in everything you do. |
"Maia is as much of a professional business-wise as she is at the profound emotional work she does. Throughout the process of organizing the workshop at The Junction, she was very diligent about communicating, brainstorming and providing innovative marketing material, and laying out and executing all the logistics together. Maia's such a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working with her again in the future." |
FROM NEGATIVITY TO POSITIVITY
AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
The power of positive thinking--you've been hearing about it for years. But how can you keep positive when life feels hard and each week brings new challenges and more stress? When it feels like things will never get better, staying positive can feel phony or even impossible.
It's a catch 22: you know that in order to manifest a different future you need to change your thinking, but how can you change your thinking when your reality is far from ideal? In this interactive workshop, Maia Akiva will use humor and insight to work directly with participants, illustrating the transformation from negativity to authentic gratitude and positive creation. Your group will learn simple, yet profound tools to shift into a positive mindset in record time, for maximum effect. |
"Maia leads an illuminating and often surprising workshop that unmasks the culprits of blocks. Her disarming demeanor helps dismantle the walls obstructing creativity and provides the necessary tools for identifying the distractions and resistance standing in the way. She empowers with awareness and creates a safe and supportive environment where everyone learns from themselves and each other." |
The Desire Map
The Desire Map started out as a book, written by Danielle LaPorte. From there, it became the driving force for over 500 book clubs around the world. Hundreds of thousands of people follow it and many new readers discover it every day. At the heart of it all? A commitment to feeling good.
We look at our perceptions around “feelings” and goal-setting. We’ll examine how we drive and strive, and see where in our lives we experience freedom — and where we want more of it. In this workshop your group will learn:
THE DESIRE MAP WORKSHOP – LEVEL 1 / LEVEL 2 is a program for clarifying what you truly want in every area of your life, and using that powerful awareness to guide your goal-setting from now on. |
"I was looking for a new way of looking at persistent challenges and obstacles, in hopes of finding a different momentum this year. Both Maia Akiva and the Desire Map were revelations for me. I thought I had a lot of tools to call on to make some positive changes, but I didn't have anything that connected me to the way I felt, or wanted to feel. Maia was a perfect guide to lead me to this new way of thinking. She was able to push and pull, confront gently and provoke powerfully toward greater insights than I was able to get to before. This morning I was thinking about authenticity and fun and it made me smile. Thanks again. " |

"I want to be happy, joyous, and free so I decided to attend the Desire map workshop Maia was teaching. But I had a lot of resistance to go and wanted to cancel. My experience was amazing when with Maia help I worked through that and got to my desired feelings. The entire process was very special and insightful and I think I grew a lot as a human. " |
