TGP Awakening

An enhanced return of Catherine and Duane O'Kane's Awakening workshop. Many have regarded this workshop as a life-changing event impacting and adding a profound new dimension to every aspect of the experience of relational life itself.

The problems we wrestle with in life don’t happen in isolation. We all exist in a web of connections with others that impact every aspect of who we are. Psychology refers to this web as systems. A relationship dynamic will be involved when we’re stuck, in pain, or wrestling with an inner or outer dilemma. When trying to change, we must address what is happening inside ourselves (emotionally and cognitively) and outside in our connection with others. 

We learn more by experience than through the intellect. Emerging from our childhoods, our sense of identity and self are largely sculpted by intense experience, whether positive or negative. Healing and reclaiming of self also must be an intense, safe emotional experience. This is the TGP Awakening. We learn how to 'wake up' the internal pathways to reclaiming a level of authenticity, which is the essential ingredient for a healthy self and healthy relationships.

A follow-up group Whatsapp will be offered online to offer support for the ongoing process.

How can it help?

Taking a moment for yourself, to grow and heal, is huge—and we’re here to guide you and cheer you on. Our approach is all about genuine, heartfelt connections that can spark REAL change in your life. Because being open is just the starting point; what lies beneath is a beautiful, connected you, waiting to be rediscovered.

It is time to face yourself. It's time to get REAL.

Because you love your life and want to maximize your felt sense of life itself in all relational aspects.

Catherine & Duane O’Kane are authors, international speakers, and psychotherapists with several decades of experience specializing in Transformational Group Process.

Catherine has a Master’s degree in Psychology, is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Supervisor and has been a practicing therapist engaged in personal and professional development since 1993.

Duane is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a lengthy mental health and social services background, since he satrted in the field in the late 80s.

They are both passionate about helping people find their way back to a fuller sense of themselves and into meaningful connection in all their significant relationships.

They live together, work together, have raised a family, and continue to love each other through life’s passages. For many years, they leaned into the popular idea that their primary relationship was the key to their happiness – or unhappiness. They now see the human need for connection in a much bigger context. This informs every aspect of how they live and work.

Catherine & Duane were honoured to be featured in the multiple award-winning documentary REAL: the Bravest Thing You Will Ever Be, which continues to gain global recognition for its crucial message.

This is what Dr Gabor Mate had to say about the documentary which recorded the experience of the 3 day workshop

"...offers pathways to authentic self-discovery—or, more accurately, self-recovery. Expect to learn and to grow, expect to be moved."

~DR. GABOR MATE M.D., CM

What is Transformational Group Process?

Transformational Group Process is an experiential and relational form of group therapy. We've been working with groups in various settings for decades. What we've realized over the years is that it is the collective experience that transforms. We're beginning to understand more about why that is.

When we form connections in our lives we are likely to gravitate toward similar people, like a 'club'. When a more random group of people sign up for a workshop, the only common factor is the desire to grow. You may end up hearing from another group member who reminds you of someone you struggle with. Through the process, your view of both the person sharing and the person they remind you of shifts. You are likely to feel empathy and compassion, often in places you didn't expect.

In group process, you're very likely to hear from others who share struggles similar to your own. As we work with that person, you get to have the emotional experience of their process along with them. Their process becomes yours, and you benefit from the greater self-awareness seeing yourself in another provides. This shared journey fosters a deeper understanding of not just others, but of yourself, creating a network of mutual support and growth.

This structured therapeutic process can be a launching pad for your personal evolution and real life relationships.

How does it differ from one-on-one therapy?

In one-on-one therapy, the focus is mainly on your inner world. A therapist working with you will use the safety and dynamics of your relationship to help you become more self-aware and grow. This kind of therapy creates a safe space where you can work through past hurts, understand yourself better, and try being more authentic in your everyday life.

Transformational Group Process gives you the added benefit of connecting with others who, like you, are eager to grow, from all walks of life. While a one-on-one therapist can help you make significant personal breakthroughs, they can't offer the unique, life-changing insights you get from seeing others be vulnerable, share your struggles, and provide direct insight into what might be going on in your relationships. Transformational Group Process brings not just personal revelations but also relational ones, giving you profound insights into how you relate to others. This group setting helps you understand and empathize with others, enhancing your own journey of growth.

Promotional offers from us

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us, or purchased goods or services from us, and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

Third-party marketing

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt-out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to the personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

Disclosures of Your Personal Data

Under certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the “how we use your personal data” section above.

· Internal Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

· External Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

· Specific third parties as set out in the Glossary.

· Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy policy.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

International Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from your jurisdiction.

We share your personal data within the CDOK Group. If you are located outside Canada and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to Canada and process it there.

In addition, many of our external third parties are based outside the UK (and the EEA), so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK and/or the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

· We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.

· Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK or the EU which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK and the EU.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK and/or the EEA.

Data Security

The security of your data is important to us but please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy and as required by the governing bodies we are regulated by. We will also retain and use your personal data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see the “Your Data Protection Rights” section below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have certain data protection rights. CDOK aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your personal data.

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

· The rights to access, update or to delete the information we have on you. Whenever made possible, you can access, update or request deletion of your personal data directly within your account settings section. If you are unable to perform these actions yourself, please contact us to assist you.

· The right of rectification. You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete.

· The right to object. where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms; you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.

· The right of restriction. You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.

· The right to data portability. You have the right to be provided (or to request that we provide a third party with) with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format.

· The right to withdraw consent. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where CDOK relied on your consent to process your personal information.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada ( OPC )or the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues, or your local data protection authority. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach any relevant data protection authority, so please contact us in the first instance
