rediscovering soul
Hybrid Offerings
Hybrid offerings provide the opportunity for an intense dive into a variety of topics, topics selected specifically for their connection to creating a professional container that encourages thoughtful reflection and meaningful action. Researched as part of my own dissertation development, these topics represent core practices that encourage us to move beyond surface objectives to deeper meaning and insights.
"An event becomes an experience, moves from outer to inner, is made into soul, when it goes through a psychological process, when it is worked upon by the soul in any of several ways. Plato gave us main ones: dialectic, certain kinds of mania including love and ritual, and poetry."
James Hillman, Healing Fiction
The learning flow for all hybrid offerings is as follows:
.5 hour individual coaching session to introduce the topic and learning flow
4 hours of individual learning (assigned podcasts, videos, and reading)
2.5 hours of solo reflection and synthesis (creative assignment and written reflection)
1 hour coaching call to synthesis the learning and consider the potential impact on the participant's coaching or facilitation practice
Ways of Knowing
how do we engage the knowing of mind, body, soul, and spirit?
In traditional learning, the focus is typically on cognitive learning, with occasional nods to affective and/or psychomotor learning. This learning experience provides an overview of these traditional learning domains and then shifts the focus to the learning offered by means of the body, spirit and soul, as well as the mind. Participants will have the opportunity to explore these ways of knowing and consider what they might offer to their own professional offerings.
Poetry as Imaginal Practice
how can the practice of reading poetry and deeply considering the words and images created foster creative connection and insights?
Poet and author John Fox once said, “Poems speak to us when nothing else will. Poetry helps us to feel our lives rather than be numb…writing and reading poems is a way of seeing and naming where we have been, where we are and where we are going with our lives”. Poems help us to unpack emotions and actions, and invite us to imagine forward, to see possibilities and potential. This learning experience will provide an opportunity to experience the power of poetry, and to consider how the reading of and reflecting on carefully selected poems can help those we work with to find meaning and movement.
