Course Description
This is a unique opportunity to join in this small group mentoring programme. We are limiting the numbers to 14 so that we have a really good opportunity to connect with your individual journeys.
During the programme we will unpick our limiting beliefs about leadership, own our leadership stories, and vision our best possible selves and how we can really show up in the world.
We are all visionaries
"When someone is called a visionary, we refer to them as being able to see things in the future that are not obvious to the rest of us. We also imagine them to have faith and conviction in those visions of the future. They have a combination of imagination, wisdom, motivation and confidence. Instead of squeezing it into just a few people, we can recognise that all of us have this visioning spirit in us. With some of us though it lays dormant and needs awakening and teasing out. Feeding our imagination with stories, questions, time in nature, colours, dreaming and non-structured time, allows visions to naturally arise. Visioning engages our body, heart, mind and different senses." Looby Macnamara, Cultural Emergence
Come prepared to stretch yourself, learn with your whole being and create a new direction in your life.
Empowerment is the essence of the course. As a group we will benefit from collaborative learning & sharing.
- Exploration into our own personal leadership, community leadership and how to really show up in the world
- Time for self-reflection, self-awareness and growth.
- A space to nourish you and your own unique gifts and grow your confidence.
- The chance to consider and clarify your contribution to the world.
- Deep connections and the creation of community with like minded people.
- Nourishing and creative ideas.
- Time to nurture your growth and the visions you hold, empowering you to keep to your true path in life.
This course can be particularly useful for anyone who
- Is at a turning point in their lives
- Working with other people in a project or organisation
- Wishing to bring more effectiveness into their lives
- Is already on their Cultural Emergence learning pathway
- Anyone already in a leadership role or any sort.
They truly created fertile grounds for a new emergence of life-affirming insights and sovereign-creative transformation as inner and eternal designers.
Thank you for your clarity, support, and tender-hearted visionary eyes!
