Self-Care
January 16, 2008
Winter or Spring 2009: dates and times to be announced based on preferences of participants where possible
This unit will focus from start to finish on building a wellness plan for yourself. I have found a valuable Stress assessment tool called StressMap which I would like to share with you. What I like most about it is that it identifies your areas of strength and to me this is the key to building both hardiness and resilience. This unit helps you with Stress Management but not in the usual way. StressMap is a well researched assessment tool.
You will also explore using intuition and energy in your own wellness program. Heightened awareness of your inner voices will enable you to work through challenging situations with more clarity. We will also incorporate a basic introduction to programs that help you know more about yourself and others such as “Insights” and “One Smart World”. You may wish to pursue them in more depth on your own at a later date.
Ongoing email support between sessions is especially useful in this unit as is the one-on-one individual session we will schedule.
Leading with Wisdom and Spirit: Nov 4, 11, 25
January 16, 2008
Fall 2008: Nov 4, 11 and 25 eveings.
This module will focus on leading in a variety of different situations. I am excited to share with you a Values-Centred Leadership model I learned when working with Lance Secretan. After exploring the basics of the model, you will have the opportunity to apply it to one or more aspects of your work. We will include identifying your values mostly by examining what you actually do as an expression of them.
Bringing spirit to your leadership includes identifying and applying what you already know to the leadership roles you play. As you become more familiar with the concepts of Leading with Spirit and Wisdom you will bring your own personalized dimension to the model. Within the model, you will explore the “shadow” in your own personality as well as limiting beliefs and other common issues that are a barrier to success. The work you do in this unit can be used in a variety of situations in your life.
To register, contact me and send a non refundable deposit for $75 payable to Marie Knapp. The rest is due the first evening of class.
Human Energy Systems Sept 16, 23, and Oct 7th
January 16, 2008
This module of the Mentoring Program will be offered in mid-September and early October 2008 over 4 weeks. It includes three group sessions and one individual session in which you decide the focus. Materials are included. If you are interested, you should let me know.
I am currently studying the second level of the Holistic Nursing Specialization course through the Canadian Holistic Nurses Association. In the module I will share information and guidance related to energy therapies and using light, colour and sound as vibrational means to work with and help balance your chakras in your own self care.
The module will be a guide through some basic learning and experiences with the energy fields, including the seven major chakras with their distinct energies. The module is meant to give you some experience with your own energy and the energy of the other participants. The focus is on self care and self healing in daily living and life challenges. Cost is $200. For more details check my website
There are so many different modalities and philosophies related to human energy fields now and several are specific to techniques for healing or communicating. Most people taking this unit will have had some experience with energy work even if only informally in being a client or an observer. I hope to guide you in some basic learning and experiences with the energy fields, the seven major chakras with their distinct energies as well as chakra cleansing and balancing, centering and grounding. All this with the intention of application to self healing and daily living.
To register please contact me and send a non refundable deposit of $75 payable to Marie Knapp. Mail to RR #7, Owen Sound ON N4K 6V5. The remainder is due the first class.
Soulful Facilitation. April 8, 15, 29
January 16, 2008
1:00 to 3:00pm alternate Tuesday afternoons.
To me this is a very important unit for anyone who works with people. Facilitation is almost a jargon word today. It really means any form of communication that is meant to serve others in guiding their process to help them be who they really are. It occurs when we are guiding our children, when we are being a good friend or spouse, as well as any time we are leading a group in any way. I have a great deal of experience in many different settings but there are common elements in all of them and I want to explore that with you, illuminating the concept of deep listening. This unit will examine the concepts of allowing, of wisdom and connection. We will discuss a few models for learning and adapt them to new ways of working with spirit. We will focus significantly on listening, both inward listening and outward deep listening. You will also learn about some new ways of facilitating using Open Space Technology and also Appreciative Inquiry. Being aware of these methods may prompt you to read more about them and apply them or a variation of them to your unique situation. The individual session with this unit can zero in on the specific area in your life where you want to enhance your facilitation with wisdom and spirit.
Aligned Intentions: Jan 2009
January 16, 2008
Perfect timing to have this unit in January when many are contemplating directions for the year ahead. The module builds on the Law of Attraction and helps you maintain an inner momentum as you find more clarity of focus in your life and work. It will by bring you more in tune with your inner yearnings and more aligned with your purpose. We will explore the concepts of wholeness, and manifestation.
My intention is to help you focus on the deeper intentions you have related to what is most meaningful in your life rather than in attracting things. The aim is to move away from ego wants and toward soul yearnings.
This workshop takes place over three evenings.
Thursday Jan 15th We will focus on intentions and the power of our thoughts as well as giving attention to limiting beliefs
The following Thursday, Jan 22nd, we will create a vision board that comes from the heart and soul.
Over the next 5 weeks, we will communicate weekly by email with some specific questions for you to ponder and respond related to your intentions and your Vision Board.
On Thursday March 5th, we will meet again to share experiences and make adjustments to Intentions as needed.
You will also receive reading materials.
Cost: All this for the fee of $200. Note that this module may be taken as an independent module or as part of the Mentoring Program.
Where: Owen Sound at Memory Garden Retreats
