Workshops
Chrysalis Life Coaching currently offers two workshops, Reconnections and Your Life Plan: Creating a Life of Intention. Each workshop has between three and four participants, and meets for eight two-hour sessions.
Reconnections Workshop
Our eight-session, intimate workshop setting provides an opportunity for you to get to know other women as you focus on reconnecting with yourself. This is a great opportunity to be in a circle of women who are experiencing many of the same things that you are. The workshop provides both in-depth exploration of your own life as well as sharing with and learning from the lives and experiences of others.
The goal of our workshop is to help start you on the process of reconnecting with yourself. We do this by exploring the following areas:
- Where are you now? What have been the major themes and events that have brought you to the life you are living now? When you look at all the different areas of your life now, where are you fulfilled and satisfied, and where are you feeling out of balance?
- What are the things that you love to do? What have you loved to do in your life? What is it that you have loved about those things, and how can you bring more joy and passion to what you do now?
- How can you reconnect with your body? We will spend time each week increasing awareness of and reconnecting with your body.
- How are you in the world? What are the behaviors you have adopted in your life and your relationships? How do they help and hinder you in having the life you want to have? What is it that you truly value?
- What is your place in this life? What would your future self look like if all your dreams, desires, and goals were fulfilled? What is your purpose in this life and what unique gifts do you have to offer the world?
The small-group workshop setting provides a wonderful opportunity to look at these questions. I keep the workshop groups small – just three or four participants. I have found that this small group allows for an intimate setting, as well as a great balance between personal sharing and learning from the other participants.
Our weekly sessions last for two hours, and the workshop is eight sessions in duration, held over ten or eleven weeks. We meet in the workshop space of the Chrysalis Life Coaching office – a sunny and peaceful room in a lovely setting surrounded by oak trees and a view of downtown Orinda. We always have tea and refreshments, and participants tell me that they look forward to simply having this time and space together.
Each session will have exercises designed to help you reconnect with yourself, as well as group sharing about our experiences and our learning. Each session you will leave with “practices” – new behaviors and/or ways of being you’d like to work on in the next week, as well as “homework” to be completed before our next session.
The fees for the workshop include:
- One thirty-minute pre-workshop consultation
- Eight two-hour workshop sessions
- One one-hour individual session
- All workshop materials
- Refreshments
- One group reunion one month after the last session.
The cost is $450, or $375 for early registration (full payment received two weeks prior to the beginning of the workshop). The balance of the fees can be paid at the start of the workshop, or in three equal installments over the duration of the workshop.
If you would like to learn more about participating in the next Reconnections Workshop, please contact me. I am currently putting together a group to start in September. We will meet on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 - 11:30 am. If you think you might be interested in participating this workshop series, we will set up an in-person consultation. This consultation is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and my opportunity to understand what you would like to get out of the workshop. If it seems like a good fit, we will register you at that time.
Your Life Plan: Creating a Life of Intention
In the Life Plan Workshop, you will create a plan for yourself that describes your life vision, and includes goals and an action plan to get there. You will use what you learned about yourself in the Reconnections Workshop as a starting point, and engage in an active inquiry and inventory of what you want your life to be. We will look at the roles you play in your life, your physical environment, the organizations to which you belong, your relationships, and your dreams and vision for yourself. At the end of the process, you will have clear goals and actions that will move you towards the life you envision for yourself.
The Life Plan Workshop is open to women who have participated in the Reconnections Workshop.
