In addition, here are some questions to consider. Don’t worry- You don’t need to answer them clearly, and you certainly don’t need to have all “yeses.” Just looking at the questions can help you orient around some of the depths that might be explored during the retreat, and give you a better sense if you want to join.
Humility
• Are you interested in letting go of your perspectives and assumptions, to bring curiosity to your world?
• Are there times in your life when you would rather know yourself than defend yourself?
• Are you open to uncertainty being a source of nurturing, rather than a problem?
Discomfort and shadow
• Are you able to listen and sense, without initially trying to fix or solve?
• Are you open to welcoming discomfort, knowing that it is a step toward expanding your comfort zone?
• Are you interested in focusing on, welcoming, and embodying parts of yourself that haven’t yet been welcomed?
Self-resourcing
• Are you able to notice when your system needs down-shifting and nurturing?
• Do you have practices for grounding, relaxing, and resourcing yourself?
AWAKENED LEADERSHIP FACILITATOR - RICK SMITH
Love is unconditional. Life gives us conditions, so we can love them.
By welcoming both our human and our being, we can bring tenderness to the full range of the human experience.
This is at the heart of Rick Smith’s work.
Over the past twenty years, he has spoken to over 100,000 people in fifteen countries on five continents, on topics ranging from presentation to presence, and from authentic relating to awakening.
His best-selling book Conscious Classroom Management has sold almost half a million copies to date, and continues to touch the lives of facilitators, teacher leaders, classroom teachers, and their students.
Through connection exercises, movement, and humor, he offers practical and accessible ways for participants to awaken, to stand up, and remember their own innocence, wholeness, and “enough-ness,” especially in all the tight corners of their inner and outer worlds. (www.thetenderedge.com)
MESSAGE FROM RICK
“Business as usual” isn’t working. We need a new way of orienting, which necessitates at first, a conscious disorientation from business as usual. Thus, you are invited to arrive with an open mind and heart, and a willingness to suspend your assumptions about what it means to lead and lead effectively.
Though some techniques and approaches to use in leadership situations will be shared, this is not a standard workshop on how to be a leader. The focus is more on self-inquiry; discovering who we are beneath patterns of limitation and performance. Leading ourselves well, with kindness, clarity, and humility, is the key to leading others well. As we navigate our own apparent imperfections, we open up avenues for guiding others through theirs.
One key is listening- to ourselves and to others. However good a listener you are, there is always more to learn. We will explore listening from the practical to the mystical, providing you with an experiential road map for situations in your own personal and/or professional life.
Though you are encouraged to participate with an open mind and heart, this will not be the “Vulnerability Olympics.” You are invited to move at the speed of love...
