Program Description
Awakened Living Program – Overview
How do we wake up to all of who we are, the light and the shadow, and what we are meant to do here? How do we embrace our wholeness, and then harness it towards creating a rich, fulfilling, and meaningful life of making a difference, flourishing, and thriving?
Awakening is about seeing, accepting, and owning each part of us through being with ourselves with curiousity, compassion, loving kindness, commitment, and grace. Everything is related, everything belongs. There is no part of ourselves we can cut out. As our capacity to inquire and become aware increases, we develop the strength to look at our brightest light and our darkest shadows, integrating them into who we are becoming. It is not life separate from our daily tasks and responsibilities; rather, it is a way of embracing all of life, in a state of awareness, presence, engagement, and love.
Program Structure
Awakened Living is a 9-months transformative journey, inquiring into the core essence of who you are. It is a deep inquiry program, guiding participants to peel the layers of who they think they are, uncovering the true essence of their Self, and bringing it to the world.
The program is grounded in the Enneagram as a map for awakening. It also incorporates self-inquiry, somatic wisdom, deep coaching, adult learning principles, indigenous and Eastern teachings, Applied Eco-Psychology, and expressive arts (to name some of the modalities we use).
The program runs in small and intimate cohorts of 20 participants, with presence, love, guidance, and support by your program facilitator(s), who are unequivocally committed to your awakening. We will create and maintain a rich, challenging, and supportive container for this process.
