about the programmingI'm interested only in fresh programming. So why do an annual visioning workshop? There are always women (including numerous repeat participants over the years) who want to come together in January in a shared, carved-out space and consider what they want to create in their lives, what they'd like to clear out that's not working or that they're simply done with, and how to move through perceived obstacles. By the day's end, they feel they've pointed themselves in the right direction to get to where they're going next that matches their current level of healing and evolution, that nurtures and aligns with their becoming. This is a creative, hands-on workshop with a long vision-boarding component, and we have fun, go deep, and see new possibilities together in a mutually supportive and self-honoring atmosphere and process. I love this workshop.
Still, I keep changing it up so that it's alive and relevant and is born anew out of my current passions. So what's fresh and fulfilling to me about this year's version of the visioning workshop? I'm structuring all the talk and workshop activities leading up to the vision boarding around knowing, trusting, and following your guidance system. (I'm pretty much structuring all of my work around that right now. See more on coaching collaborations page.) Here's what I'd like for you, which will influence all that we do on Visioning workshop day: I want you to get more subtle with recognizing and following what comes up from inside you. I want you to trust that life will show you the way, and recognize the guidance when it comes in. I want you to move out of the way those things you're looking for as guidance that simply distract you from what is actually coming in (!), and I want you to learn how to flow with the guidance and recognize and drop resistance. |

Need some examples of resistance?

Notes on resistanceHere's something I wrote to support your understanding of how your inner being works with moving you toward your intentions even as you kick up resistance to those intentions!
Your inner being is always seeking to get you to your highest good, which is also what you most want. It will (and can only) get you there by working around all the resistance you kick up, so it will proceed to direct you step by step along your path of LEAST RESISTANCE. (It still ONLY wants to get you there. It will not be punitive in response to that resistance. In fact, this is a pretty typical human thing, so could it make sense that we're wired to work with it?) So you seldom get to have a blueprint at the beginning of a journey, or in support of dreaming up a journey—not a blueprint that actually works or remains fixed. Each next step along your path of least resistance is going to take you in the right direction (and note that it could even look like the wrong direction or like something unrelated). Then you'll find the next step with least resistance after that. Your resistance will melt. Your momentum will build. You cannot have a blueprint or plan for this all to happen. Actually, you can have one that you're willing to keep letting go of. Having that sometimes helps and sometimes simply creates more resistance! So as I love to say, hold your vision, but hold it loosely, and move roughly in the right direction. Life only wants to guide you to get there, and the answers are all inside you. The outer signs, information coming in, advice being dispensed—all dovetail with your own knowing. Your inner response to anything coming in from the so-called outside lets you know whether it's a yes or a no for you here and now. Repeat: For you, here and now. These could be fabulous ideas coming in, or pointers toward amazing programs and possibilities or brilliant, thoughtful advice coming in. That doesn't make it right for you here and now. You're the one who knows. |
