To contribute to change in our families, our organizations and our communities, we must be willing to see ourselves and our role in creating a new reality with fresh eyes. The work of leading invites us to access the very deepest sources of who we are as human beings. This workshop is an invitation to pause on your life journey, connect with your higher self, and access the resources that will sustain you as you step forward to do your work in the world. In this workshop you will be immersed in a personal learning journey that is an invitation to:
Discover your desired life path and purpose
Create change that you believe in
Find clarity for your life vision
Uncover the possibilities for meaningful connections
Learn holistic practices for sustaining personal health and balance
This workshop addresses mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical. The Medicine Wheel Tool© is used as a framework to explore individual health and balance and to make personal commitments for improvement.
Your learning from this experiential, interactive workshop will assist you in exploring the state of your health and how to maintain a state of optimal health even in highly stressful situations.
You will leave the workshop equipped with:
A holistic framework for examining personal health and balance
A holistic framework for achieving and maintaining long-term personal health
A tool for lifelong use for changing beliefs to those that achieve success.
Knowledge of how to increase your personal capacity to work within complex and energy draining situations by learning to attend to your personal energy and energy leakages
An understanding of the importance of relationships, that are based on genuine contact, to achieve results beyond your expectations
An understanding of the relationship of your inner change with the inner change you are seeking in the organization and the necessity of the change beginning in the individual or it won't work.
This is a must-attend workshop if you are looking for a practical and holistic approach to promote your personal health that focuses on transformational change rather than superficial change. This workshop draws people from many sectors and many roles in organizations, or communities. If you are seeking clarity on your life path, whether that be about work, relationships, or other life aspirations, it is important to approach them from a state of individual health and balance, a state where you can accept the gifts and challenges of life. Some people appreciate the opportunity to attend this workshop with their life partner – making time to explore their individual and collective life aspirations together.
The workshop is highly experiential and provides an opportunity for you to actually apply the learning to your personal situation. By the end of the workshop, you will have a good start on an action plan for achieving and sustaining your individual health and balance.
Our teaching model is rooted in experiential learning. The foundational facilitation process for the workshop is Whole Person Process Facilitation, which pays attention to the multidimensional human being including learning styles, different intelligences and levels of consciousness. This facilitation methodology creates conditions that maximize the learning of individual participants and also creates the opportunity for the emergence of collective learning.
Key activities include:
Pre-workshop reflection on your intention for this workshop
4-day residential workshop
3 hour on-line coaching circle within one month of the residential component
Invitation to join in ongoing online mentoring to support you in working with this approach and its tools and processes.
Participants will make meaningful connections between their current life journey, the powerful questions/challenges they are holding and the new information/processes that are being worked with in the session. The process invites participants to make genuine contact with themselves, others, and the collective, and to mentor each other during these sessions. Within the accepting climate in the workshop, participants are provided with many choices of activities and processes to support their reflection, discovery and action planning. The frameworks provided will support deep learning for a life time.
