Typical structure of the sessions
1. Learning from Practice
2. Your Question-in-Focus
3. Introduction to Evolutionary Spirituality
Each part corresponds to a 20-min segment of a 1-hour call.
Learning from Practice is a conversation for advancing any practice you choose to take up in the context of our work together. Learning from practice is a condition to leading from practice.
Your Question-in-Focus is a conversation driven by your mindfully crafted question to discover what will make the biggest difference for your evolution, in the present moment.
Introduction to Evolutionary Spirituality is a teaching/learning conversation focused on the principles of various Evolutionary Spirituality traditions.
Approaches
We will jointly define the specific modalities and a “menu” of approaches that best support your development aspirations. They may include any of the following frameworks and methods:
Frameworks
• Theory U, a personal/professional life navigation system
• Medicine Wheel of 8 Intelligences, a holistic container and process for balancing our archetypal intelligences
• Spiral Dynamics Integral, responding to inner change conditions, from new states to new stages of consciousness
Methods
• Evolutionary Journaling, a personal and private process in which one is bearing witness to her/his learning and development
• Lifework Mapping, using a “radar chart” self-assessment of the key context, in which the new level of consciousness will manifest
• Chaordic Dialogue Practice, a way to bring contemplative awareness to computer-enabled real-time conversations, e.g. Skype, Google Wave
Practicalities
Communication media: We will use Skype and a private, password protected space on a networking site for our communication. That will be in addition to the face-to-face sessions when we are in the same town or airport. ??
Schedule: A typical session is 1-hr long and can be taken at scheduled times. Recommended frequency: twice a month.
Fee: The cost of this program varies by the length of subscription (6, 12, or 24 sessions) and sector (private, public, social, individual). The guiding price for a 12-session series with clients in the private sector is £150/session. Contact us for more details. Money is not the main factor in choosing the assignments that we accept. If we need to discuss your situation, let us know.
Suggested first steps
A mentoring relationship starts with a generative interview aimed at discovering the question most alive for you now, and the future possibility that has the strongest pull on you. Following that, you would be supported to develop or upgrade your current personal mission statement based on your vision of a future that is personally and professionally meaningful to you, inspiring, and energizing. That statement will serve as a that compass we will use for orienting the design of our process and its evaluation framework.
