The Six Steps to Freedom
The Six Steps to Freedom process is an integral part of the work that we do in any Choose Again program. The beauty of the Six Steps is that it can be applied to literally any upset in your life. In our focused workshops we will both guide you through the steps, as well as teach you how to apply them for yourself going forward.

Les Labadous - Your Home Away From Home.
Les Labadous is a special place; its name in the Occitan language refers to a cleansing place. Many find a healing energy and creative energy here; some feel the energy of Mary Magdalene who is said to have lived and preached here.
Les Labadous is a “Domaine des Amis”, a house for friends, with nicely equipped rooms, studios and apartments, and a large communal hall where we have our group sessions.
Les Labadous is a place to rest, to create, to heal and be healed, to meditate, to write or paint, to reflect on life and to find your destiny. We at Choose Again are thrilled to call Les Labadous our home away from home, and we know you will feel the same way, Les Labadous really is "A house for friends".

Rennes-le-Château - A Healing & Restorative Environment
|
The area of Rennes-le-Château not only provides a rich and beautiful backdrop to the transformation and healing you will experience at a Choose Again workshop, it is an active agent in that healing. Rennes-le-Château is best known for its “million dollar priest” Saunière, but also for its rich history. Dating back to ancient times, it has been considered a sacred place. There is much to be seen. The church dedicated to Mary Magdalene, with the statue of Asmodeus, the Tour Magdala and the Villa Bethania and of course the beautiful garden.
Rennes-le-Château is located in the middle of the “Pays Cathare”. With its Cathar castles and initiation caves. But there is more. Like the magical mountains Pech Cardou and Pech Bugarach. Sacred springs and sources, such as the Fontaine des Amours. Special churches and abbeys. UFO sightings, sacred geometry, the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail and the Arc of the Covenant… Over 600 books have been written about this place, inspired by the treasures, magic and mysteries of Rennes-le-Château. These books include the bestsellers “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” and the “Da Vinci Code”. |
The nature surrounding this treasure of a village is unspoiled, you can walk for hours without meeting anyone. And the food is wonderful, as are the wines, especially the Rosé, the Rivesaltes and the famous Blanquette de Limoux.

Excursions & OutingsOur workshop schedule will include several outings to the local areas of interest, such as the beautiful Church of Mary Magdalene, The Fontaine des Amours, various Cathar Castles such as The Chateau de Puilaurens, and Chateau de Bezu.
The wonderful staff at Les Labadous have extensive knowledge of the local area and the people, and they keep us informed about local events. If there are interesting events in the vicinity that will contribute to healing and growth, they will be included in the program. For example, last September we attended a piano concert in the castle in Rennes-le-Château, a sacred sound healing event, and a drum circle to mark the equinox. |
