Awakening Leadership

A Training of Trainers Intensive

with Gill Emslie & Team Findhorn – Scotland

Wongsanit Ashram 8 – 13 January, 2012

This programme draws on Process Work, an awareness based practise, developed by Drs Arnold & Amy Mindell and colleagues. It is a multi-dimensional, process orientated and interdisciplinary approach to Leadership. It’s philosophical roots draw from alchemy, shamanism Jungian Psychology, Taoism, and Physics.

Serious facilitators/teachers/managers/trainers need to know themselves deeply in order to lead their students/staff/participants in learning processes, which embrace diversity and facilitate change and conflict when it arises. This self-knowledge includes knowing their own inherent style as well as having awareness of their own edges, and the ability to work with them.

This program will help you to

• Connect with your inherent strengths
• Cultivate leadership and eldership
• Learn from challenging situations
• Facilitate effective communication and collaboration in diverse settings: tone of voice, communication, double signal
• Build strong relationships with colleagues and others.
• Foster inner resilience through a nourishing and insightful relationship to the natural world.
• Strengthen your ability to do inner work and experience a creative approach to work with resistance and limiting belief systems (exploring ‘Edges’)
• Understand and work with the difficult issues of the dynamics of rank, power and privilege both within yourself, your team, among participants as well as in society at large.
• Facilitate conflict

This training will be particularly useful for:

• People in leadership roles in the public, private and voluntary sector
• Empowerment facilitators, managers, sustainability educators, trainers for change
• Teachers who want to work for inner growth in themselves and among students
• Anybody who is committed to being an active agent of positive change
