​​​​​​​​Re/Connect to the wisdom of the body

From the moment we're born, we're learning how to use our bodies to interact with the world, from signaling hunger, to a need for comfort. Coordination of the visual system leads to crawling, walking, and greater degrees of independence. At these early stages of life, there's little separation between our gut feelings and our reach to others. And then, something happens...

 

Recognize family as the first systemic influence

At the same time we're learning to use our bodies, we're learning to navigate our family systems. Newborns discover how responsive, available, and present their caretakers are, or not. Even family systems with great deficits, raise beings who know how to survive. However, most of that knowledge is unconscious. If we surface our core needs, desires, drives, or beliefs learned from our family systems, we can become more conscious and empowered actors in life and work.

​

Balance personal and systemic conscience 

According to Bert Hellinger, who worked for decades with contemporaries to explore, articulate, and illuminate the unconscious dynamics of human systems, we have both a personal and a systemic experience of conscience. Learning Hellinger's Orders of Love and how they animate conscience and systems, greatly enhances life and leadership. Bonds, binds, and leverage points become visible, and potential resources become accessible. 

​

Weave a life of meaning and impact 

Weaving all of this together: we learn to use our bodies and sensation for discernment; our original experiences of human systems as awesome learning laboratories; our sense of conscience as gateways for navigation and clear decision-making; and an approach to life that is meaningful, and holds emergence with curiosity. Imagine navigating life and work with planted feet, deep breath, flexible responses, and clear senses, informed by many ways of knowing. Now imagine letting yourself have that foundational resource.

Build your “leaderful stance” for conscious contribution  

Leadership can be so closely associated with hierarchy, that some movements have called for a new term. Leaderful is a way of being that incorporates somatic intelligence, attunes to unspoken group dynamics, nurtures trust and inclusion, and emphasizes power with and power through the group. Understanding and practicing this and articulating a personal stance, enhances our contribution to nourishing and resilience systems.      

​

Become more securely readied to meet the emerging future  

Learning to amplify somatic (body) intelligence and integrate that with mental and emotional intelligence adds fantastic capacity. Learning systemic principles of human systems at the same time, is like getting a powerful life decoder ring. This is an empowering way to meet the future.
