Adventures
Alone in Baja
Wynne Miller talks about her solo retreat in Baja and how it influenced her coaching (1 minute).
Consider trying some experiences that have shaped me. Moving out beyond the traditional classrooms, even beyond my traditional travel and recreation patterns, I found adventures that stretched me in mind, body, and spirit.
I was privileged to have a master for each of my trips, and I came away with new perspectives, greater courage, and an expanded view of what is possible. All of this I bring back to my coaching clients.
How About You?
Have you gotten a little too comfortable? Found yourself watching the world go by and wondering why? Or do you watch other people take a leap and wonder if you could do it or why you don't? Are you thinking next year? Next life? What about now?
Commune with Sun, Sand, and Sea LionsSpend a week solo and silent on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, just you, the sun and sand, a tent, food, water and the sea lions (and if you are lucky, whales too). You will have a new relationship with yourself, mystery, sky above and earth below, deeply connected to all that is natural. John P. Milton prepared me for a solo excursion in Baja California with training from his collection of Native American and Eastern philosophies and practices. Could one know oneself better than to sit in silence for a week, sometimes in the company of a pale yellow butterfly, sometimes a sea lion? (Sacred Passage) |

The Spell of Hawaiian RainbowsBehold the rainbows on a Hawaiian island, wander the organic gardens and be sustained by enlightened discussions on balance, wisdom at work, community. Explore with two masters, the frontiers of personal, team, & organizational performance. Joel and Michelle Levey blended their spirit-based facilitation and coaching with Hawaiian lore and values at their Big Island permaculture sanctuary. I even learned to dance the hula and tap a coconut. (InnerWork Technologies) |

Grand Canyon CourageVisit the majestic Arizona Grand Canyon. Ah, you’ve done that, you say? Mount a mule and trust a clumsy, lumbering, but well-trained creature to maneuver a rock-strewn path, round hairpin turns and descend 7000 feet safely. I learned to move past fear and face a new challenge. The reward: breathtaking geological formations, restoring meaning to the word, "awesome." (Grand Canyon National Park) |

Push the LimitsTest the limits of your potential, energizing the possible human, embracing “social artistry” and applying new ways of thinking, being, and doing to social challenges in the world. Identify the archetypes playing out their roles in your life. Be guided into the worlds of myth, creativity, quantum physics, re-patterning, sacred mountains, earthy humor, and more. Mystery School awaits you. Jean Houston, surely the 8th wonder of the world, steeped in literature, science, theatre, religion, psychology, history, cooking, and a dozen other disciplines, is a student of Margaret Mead, Joseph Campbell, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. She is a one-woman encyclopedia cum vaudeville show with a vision for our times. (Jean Houston) |
