Presencing Master Class - 2010-2012

Modules

Each module will follow these Guiding Principles:

• Awareness: The essence of leadership is to shift the inner place from which we operate
• Sensing: The awakening and activating of all our senses, both individually and collectively, is the biggest lever for triggering profound renewal and change
• Presencing: Connect to the place of stillness and listen to the future that wants to emerge (through us)
• Prototyping: Explore the future by linking head, heart, hand
• Tri-sector engagement: Integrate all sectors and key players within a system
• Power of Intention: Be an instrument for a global community of change makers that serves the well-being of the whole
• Coaching Groups: Participants will join coaching groups (groups of four) and interact with each other between the sessions

Each module will include the following Core Features:

• Opportunities to deepen the core competencies for designing, facilitating, and delivering Theory “based change projects and programs

• Regular opportunities for self-reflection, stillness, and inner cultivation work
