About this Event
This one-day Breakthrough Programme is for a maximum of 8 people who are looking for a breakthrough on a work / life / challenge. Some examples of challenges might be a career change, a difficult professional or personal relationship, or a persistent behavioural pattern that prevents forward momentum.
Facilitated by ’s multidisciplinary team of experts in psychotherapy, coaching and creative techniques, the programme will help participants to:
• Define your current challenge
• Identify the unseen forces that are preventing progress
• Develop and plot a meaningful plan for next steps
What to expect
Often, when we’re trying to overcome a challenge, we tend to attack it with the solution-focussed part of our minds. That’s an excellent tool for many tasks, but when it can’t find meaningful answers it tends to ramp up the anxiety and prevent us from seeing the bigger picture more clearly. Without seeing this, we tend to get trapped looking for a solution that can’t be found.
Based in the peaceful urban oasis of The Woodland Retreat in Highgate's protected Queen's Wood, we will help you step out of the ordinary into a new way of thinking with our signature Breakthrough Process - facilitated group work that fuses together discussion and creative techniques into a powerful engine for positive change.
Working as a group, we take you on a deep-level journey into your challenge, help you identify some of the forces that underpin it, and support you to develop a solution-focussed plan for next steps.
By the end of the programme you will have developed:
• A better understanding of the forces that underpin your challenge
• Greater insight into how you function in the world
• Deeper awareness of the forces that drive your interactions with others
• A practical plan for working on your challenge
Please note: The one-day Breakthrough Programme on Sunday 22nd September is being offered to participants with an option to take up a special discounted ticket price of £75. This one-off price is being offered in exchange for detailed feedback of participant experience on the programme. An online survey will be sent post-session for you to complete.
More about The Breakthrough Process
The world is becoming ever more complex. Quick fixes and feel-good interventions are not enough. You need to get far beneath the surface in order to develop meaningful solutions, and because your time is in short supply, you need to do that fast.
Designed and facilitated by experts in psychotherapy, leadership, creative techniques, business and strategy, Mind Environment’s tried and tested Breakthrough Process dives deep into the rational, emotional, and unconscious dimensions of your challenge, by combining four core elements:
- Group discussion
- Inner work
- Creative techniques
- Coaching
Combined, and facilitated with psychological rigour, these elements act as a force multiplier to provide rapid clarity on hidden obstacles and a realistic path forward in a compressed timeframe.
More about The Mind Environment and our facilitators:
In 2018, psychotherapist and leadership coach Dr Tom Cotton founded Mind Environment to help individuals and leaders develop greater clarity on their purpose and path in life.
Our core belief endures: in this fast-changing world, seeing the forces that influence us more clearly is the key to finding breakthrough on life and work challenges.
At our four-day intensive Breakthrough Programme in France, we provide participants with a space to arrive with a challenge, experience breakthrough, and leave with a plan for meaningful change.
The Mind Environment team comprises specialists in psychotherapy and coaching, leadership, entrepreneurship and business. Collectively, we have guided clients through life, work and relationship challenges, run successful businesses, and led change at the highest level of global organisations. This combined knowledge allows us to lead deep work safely, and helps you translate your breakthrough into an actionable plan.
