It's also often an uncomfortable part of the cycle, one we sometimes struggle with or against. When things happen that we neither expect nor want, how do we honour our real human response and find ways to live calmly and well amid the chaos?

This becomes a particularly significant question when we recognize, as David La Chapelle says in his book Navigating the Tides of Change "Chaos is often the boundary of the possible, the new, and the emergent and appears to be essential to the creation of our world. Rather than trying to control and subdue chaos, we are being invited to surf the waves of change with skill and artfulness."

The material shared in this course provides a powerful resource for understanding the subtle (and not so subtle) energies working within and between us, especially when the stresses and strains of life seem overwhelming. It is especially useful for those who coach or lead others; however this program is not about changing or fixing others. The focus of this two day seminar is you!

The first Session focuses on Living Well with Others, and includes sections on our different styles of dealing with conflict, communicating so the message we want to send is most likely to be the one received, clarifying roles and expectations in our relationships, and the various roles we often find ourselves in as we relate to each other.

In second Session, attention shifts to a more intra-personal focus Living Gently with Ourselves - what does happen when life unfolds for us in ways we neither expect nor want?, the challenge of embracing paradox in our lives, what are some of the things going on when we feel stuck in ineffective patterns?, and we explore a number of effective ways of responding in these circumstances.
