Saturday, May 17
9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (includes lunch break)
We live in an ever-changing and complex world, and the spiritual landscape is no exception!
We often are faced with problems that cannot be addressed by ‘either/or’ solutions, because these “problems” aren’t problems at all; they are “polarities.”
Polarities are also known as paradoxes, tensions, dilemmas, conflicts, and wicked problems. Polarities are interdependent pairs that need each other over time. They are energy systems in which we live and which live in us.
Problems have independent solutions—they can be solved. Polarities require a “both/and” mindset, and trying to choose between the two ‘solutions’ creates tension, slows innovation, and keeps individuals and organizations swinging between two mediocre states, or just completely stuck, and even stagnating.
Knowing how to move in the life energies of polarities can make the difference between surviving and thriving. This workshop will challenge you to work on your own spiritual maturity as well as the maturity of the organization or community in which you are involved.
This highly experiential workshop will help you:
- Develop your spiritual maturity
- Live more authentically
- Enhance the quality of your relationships and life
- Expand your capacity to move through change more efficiently and sustainably
- Move through change feeling more grounded, centered, and with greater ease
- Transform conflict with great clarity while staying connected to your heart and the heart of the other
- Increase your capacity to LOVE
Discover how paradox is a gift that can become a useful resource for enhancing the lives of each of us and all of us.
This is an all-day Saturday program.
