Both programs are broken up into three sections.
Section One: Reawakening
Week one: We’ll begin by reflecting on your life. And what is happening int the world, We’ll utilize the lens of wonder and curiosity. We will listen deeply to your story, together. . Exploring how culture and family and identities have shaped you and are doing so right now. We’ll take time to see where you came from, where you are, and where you want to head.
Week two: Windows of wonder. Awakening the senses as a doorway to the present moment. The senses are a way to step into presence. You’ll be invited to explore, play with and consider your life through each of them. Taste, Touch. Hearing. Vision and Smell. Utilizing the senses as an invitation to pause, be present and inhabit your life both internally and externally.
Week three: Elevated emotions. And difficult emotions. Moving from either/or to both/and. How can you welcome all emotions and not identify with them? How can feelings become the check engine light on the dashboard? We’ll talk about acknowledging, expressing, considering, wondering and the gifts of aliveness that arise as you grow into being okay with all of them.Gratitude, joy, grief and sadness.
Section Two: Cultivating
Week four: What’s happening in your nervous system? Unpacking the basics. And why and how to practice regulating easily and often. We’ll touch on creativity, play and laughter for life. Reawakening laughter for no reason and play, well, as play. How to allow our more challenging moments to open up creativity. You are a creative being. Make no mistake about that!
Week five: Attention. Where are you placing your attention? Where your attention goes you do. Tending to the dark and the light. Grief and joy. And how that opens you to wholeness. How to cultivate an attentional direction that nourishes you with meaning and inspiration. And Emptying the backpack. A practice worth the effort.
Week six: Mind and heARTfulness. The practice of being with yourself. What gets in the way? The busyness of the common culture, your pull towards doing? How to connect your heart/mind. Why you may want too! And a conversation about reflection, stillness, contemplation and solitude. The art of it.
Section Three: Engaging
Week seven: Altruism and service. The arm of our culture that generates well-being for all and increases well-being for the giver. Our desire to serve runs deep and in the busyness of the culture we often lose sight of how we serve in many moments. And is there a bigger or different service you are getting ready to offer? Simple can be profound. How do you ready yourself for change so you can move with it. Engaging in it versus letting it happen to you. How can you?
Week eight: Your soul has a role. What is the soul? Our soul can be shy. For many of us our connection to this part of ourselves was lost as a child. It’s that quiet voice that may say “this way”, or “not that” and we ignore it. How to encourage an inner relationship with it. Through nature. Through poetry, creativity, prose. Exploring your deepest gifts and how to engage them to foster greater well-being.
Week nine: Clarifying take away’s. Writing up a proclamation with your revelations for daily, weekly or monthly practices. And Celebration Day!
