An invitation to flourish

This course is designed for leaders who wish to optimize personal wellbeing so that positive energy and creativity are supported and sustained, even in times of disruption and turbulence.

The Art of WellBeing utilizes a “coach approach” process in which the primary resource is the internal wisdom and expertise of participants rather than prescriptions from a teacher. Group process and individual coaching sessions make use of inquiry and response to generate greater self-awareness and clarity about each participant’s overall wellbeing. Each will discern and make choices which best fit their current context and season of life.

By the end of the course, participants are able to design a personalized WellBeing Action Plan (aka “Rule of Life for WellBeing”) that is specific and measurable, courageous and realistic. The result of small steps practiced over time creates a transformative path.
