Transformational Connection and Surrendered Leadership training (6 weeks/online)
Dear Authentic human,
I'd like to invite you to the next opportunity to online Circling.
This course starting January 9th, is a journey into the heart of what it means to connect, to lead, and to be. Whether you're seeking a deeper connection with yourself and others or looking to deepen your leadership abilities, this course offers powerful practices and tools that will help you navigate your inner world and show up more authentically with others.
#### The Art of Transformative Connection
We often seek connection outside of ourselves, in relationships or experiences. But true connection doesn’t come from external sources, it begins within.
Connection isn’t a goal, but rather a state of being. By embracing the present moment and showing up as we are, we invite more depth into our lives and relationships. Every moment becomes an opportunity to connect, to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.
#### Our Journey Together
This course does not simply teach you a method, but we'll be exploring and discovering the art of connection. In this group, we will:
- Explore how we connect with one another and how to deepen those connections until they become transformative.
- Practice engaging with one another, truly being together in the present moment, embracing what emerges in a shared space.
- Learn to lead with surrender. Through Surrendered Leadership Circles, you'll learn to embrace uncertainty, lead with presence, and guide yourself and others into deeper connection.
This training is an invitation to experience what it means to be real, with yourself, with others, and in the world around you.
##### Join if you are ready to:
- Discover what it takes to be truly real and explore your relationship to authenticity.
- Bring awareness to where you are, and be with others who are doing the same.
- Open to vulnerability and embrace each precious moment as it is.
- Deepen your connection with others through shared awareness and relational inquiry.
- Make space for the emergent and surrender to what unfolds.
##### Practicals:
This course takes place online. Over six weeks, you’ll be guided by Ellen Waenink and team in exploring these practices and deepening your connection to yourself and others. You’ll receive structured support to help you apply these principles in your life and relationships.
(Capped at 14 participants.)
** Register now. The next training starts January the 9th.
With love, Ellen
