Introduction:
Despite increased wealth and improved lifestyles, don't we sometimes feel
burned out? With the weight of the world on our shoulders: Stress, information
overload, chronic illnesses, obesity, violence, war, fragmentation, litigation,
crime, disorientation etc.. How do we deal with these? Are we professionally
equipped to manage? How can we somehow use what we do to contribute with
solutions? Or indeed, can we even cope ourselves?
We
don't learn "life skills" at school. During our lives we pick
up useful tips and little pieces here and there with experience. Normally
we fumble through. Yet more often than not we are so busy with work, families
and our lives that we don't take the time to look and evaluate those "pieces"
and put them in a proper context. And so, even though we apply our own
wisdom, they sometimes do not seem to work that well.
This
workshop looks at a some of these "life skills" in an integrated
fashion. How can we, for instance, boost our brain power to find solutions
to our life's challenges? What can we do to align our health to our desires?
The workshop is an exploration of techniques and wisdom taken from the
best in Western science and in Eastern philosophy. Come and experience
the cosmic dance of life!
Who
is this workshop for:
The workshop is for professionals (doctors, teachers, dentists, accountants,
consultants, vets, lawyers, managers, ….) who feel there is something
missing in what they do in their daily lives. They may not have put their
finger on what is amiss, have not taken the time to work it out, or are
simply not sure where to start looking. It is also for people who simply
want to expand their horizons and experience something quite different.
This
is a very intimate workshop, but it does not infringe on your privacy.
The workshop is a highly enriching experience, giving you practical techniques
to take home and apply later. Hopefully you also find you some new friends
with whom you can continue sharing deeper moments even after the workshop.
Objectives:
The workshop is based on some of the latest findings in neurology and
brain power (e.g. Renaissance project), in nutrition and agriculture,
in preventative health care, in linguistic and associative programming,
in communication theory, biology, evolution theory, information theory,
sensory perception, analogy and creativity. This is blended with spiritual
wisdom and techniques of Eastern philosophy, symbolism, rituals, chakras,
sutras and mantras from Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Shinto and Confucianism.
However, this is a practical workshop applying recipes from these fields,
this is not a course about science or philosophy. On the contrary you
will be learning, living and using a cross selection of these techniques.
What
you get:
From this empowering workshop you will learn:
- how
to increase your brain power and intelligence
- how
to improve your health at no extra cost
- how
to motivate yourself to reach higher goals
- how
to solve problems creatively and with ease
- how
to attract people to you by communicating better
- how
to deal with negative emotions and create equilibrium
- how
to render better-than-excellent customer service
It
is an opportunity to reevaluate and share meaning in life with others
Of course we cannot cover all these in depth in one day - they all warrant
several days in their own right. At the end of the day, however, you will
go home with a few procedures in each of the above. The purpose is for
you to gain an overview of possibilities, acquire some practical skills
from latest research and learn a little about Eastern holistic perspectives:
the whole is more than the sum of the parts, the parts are all interrelated
- it is necessary to embrace all parts at the same time, we are all one.
This workshop is like a mosaic where the gems of the puzzle come together
to form a new outlook, a spiritual alchemy, at the end of the day.
Approach/Style:
In the workshop we apply accelerated learning and 'suggestopedia' techniques,
so even though a great deal of ground is covered, you will remember most
of it! At the end you also learn about accelerated learning itself, since
this is also a useful skill which can be applied in many situations. Indeed,
a memorable day.
The
workshop is highly interactive and participatory. You will be asked to
move around the room, brainstorm, image stream with others, dance, relax,
take notes, act, think, work with space and music. In fact most of the
time you will be moving around! So come in comfortable clothes and trainers,
ideal for moving around, and bring lots of bottled water (lunch is provided).
Most of all you will learn a lot about yourself at a deeper level, and
at the same time have a good deal of fun! So bring a sense of adventure
too!
Outline:
The day is broken in 4 main themes:
|
WATER:
Energy
|
The
evolution of animals started in water (amoebae, fish), then moved
to land (amphibians, reptiles, mammals). Are we moving back to water
(whales, dolphins)? |
- Holistic
principles, information and energy
- Principles
of unity, duality, medeity and equilibrium
- Coping
with paradoxes and dilemmas
- How
to deal with stress and conflict
- Flow
(life, energy, water) - the mosaic glue
|
|
AIR:
Mind
|
According
to latest research, and contrary to common belief, we can increase
intelligence and build up brain power, like muscle. We will practice
some techniques. |
- How
to tap into 90% unleashed potential
- Brain
power and flow - how to boost it
- Image
sensory networking through music!
- Using
intelligence to solve more problems
- Improving
rapport and communications
|
|
EARTH:
Body
|
According
to WHO diseases are increasing. While "healthcare" is focussed
on curing, what we should be looking at is how to keep healthy in
the first place. |
- Preventative
health care - Eastern approach
- Focussing
on the right foods and nutrition
- Structural
support (keeping the body aligned)
- The
free nutrients nature has abundance of
- Cleansing
and the internal body flow
|
|
FIRE:
Spirit
|
According
to Eastern principles we are what we believe and choose to be. By
working on ourselves holistically we can achieve goals and desires
with passion. |
- Combining
brain & body power for new heights
- Motivation
- what blocks or drives us
- Beliefs
- how they shape us and how to change
- Suggestopedia
and accelerated learning methods
- Developing
passion to attain new dimensions
|
Creativity:
Holism
from the Greek holos (whole) is defined as an approach viewing
wholes as greater than the sum or their parts (OED). Creativity and problem-solving
requires the generation of new ideas and solutions which are often found
outside the problem. Holism allows one to expand our imagination beyond
the mere obvious. And just like 'holistic medicine' looks at the person
as a whole taking various factors into consideration, not just the physical
body symptoms, so too creativity should not be the domain of the mind
only, but is very much linked to our perceptions of the physical world
and our well being. Holistic creativity is about relationships between
parts. It allows us to bridge poles, link body and mind and generate solutions
to our problems.
Everyone
should be creative. We are talking here of idea creativity rather than
artistic creativity. Creativity is not the domain of a few select innovators,
but al should be engaged and engulfed in it - for example it is fundamental
to everything the Japanese do (Kaizen - continuous improvement). Everyone
can benefit from learning holistic creativity and problem-solving. This
workshop is based on some the best techniques found both in the West and
in oriental philosophy. Come and learn to excel in creative problem-solving
- something that will help you in all aspects of your life.
Re-energize:
This is a highly interactive workshop, with a tremendous amount of exchange
among participants. At the end you will not only have recipes to take
home with you to carry on using, but you will also have made some new
friends on a different level than what we normally experience in daily
life. You will not only learn a great deal, but you will also be completely
re-energised, in a day of adventure, mystery and fun!
