A NEW OFFERING FOR ALUMNI OF COMPASSIONATE SYSTEMS INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOPS

Welcome to the Foundations II for Systems Awareness - an offering for all alumni of the Center Foundations I workshops. 

An integral part of the compassionate systems framework is the focus on tools, practices, and  approaches for cultivating somatic and relational awareness, to work intentionally to grow our  quality of attention, presence, aspiration, grounding and compassion. All this nourishes and cultivates self-  and other care, greater  well-being, and the notion of “how we show up” with a dedication to consistently contribute to more generative social fields. In a time where humans are experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression - as well as milder symptoms of burnout and overwhelm -  in unprecedented numbers, it seems exceedingly important to develop strategies to stay healthy, sane and  emotionally balanced even in the face of adversity, high-pressure work situations and effects of destabilizing world-order everywhere around us. 

Through this offering we focus on the intricate relationship between ourselves and who we are in the world, and how we can make decisions towards greater emotional literacy, relational competences and cultivating self-care and, through these processes, become a better partner for ourselves and the people around us.  

We will work in-depth with the science of well-being, the systems awareness mandala and the  understanding of generative social fields through various tools, practices and approaches such as somatic awareness, cultivating our presence and compassion practices. As always, the workshop is hands-on, working through the tools and practices in small groups with a focus on the embodied experience of what these concepts mean and feel like for each of us, deepening the personal understanding of how we may change habits of thoughts, emotions and actions.  

This year we are incredibly honored to be able to offer the Foundations II workshop Nisga’a Nation in British Columbia is facilitated by Mette Miriam Boell with support from Master Practitioners and alumni of the How to Hold Space program, Charity Peal and Sylvia Russel. We look forward to welcoming you to this next level of working together towards compassionate systems change.
