coaches' communities of developmental inquiry+practice
expanding our consciousness, capacities, and skills as instruments of evolution
As coaches, we can play a key regenerative role in the personal, social, and planetary crises (and opportunities) of our time. By supporting the expansion of individual and collective consciousness.
In the developmental perspective, human evolution occurs through shifts in awareness, as the ways of making meaning of ourselves, others, and the systems in which we operate become increasingly comprehensive and integrated.
So how can we coaches constantly expand our capacity to be conscious, compassionate, and engaging invitations to development? It starts with our own developmental work! And insights from developmental theory and practice show that we need each other to grow. The expansion of consciousness is a relational, ecological process.
In good developmental company, we find unique invitations to dig deeper in self-exploration and self-discovery as well as inspiration and opportunities for development.
In our communities of inquiry+practice we are committed to self, mutual, and systemic development. Together, we explore the expansion of consciousness as a way to develop our Self as instrument and build capacity for transformational work.
We inquire into our personal growth edges practicing with awareness-based, embodied, and creative ways of being in relationship and supporting evolution.
on-line communities of inquiry+practice start throughout the year. Stay tuned for new dates and formats!
Accredited by ICF for 12 Continuing Coaching Education credits
Our methodology builds on self-, mutual, and collective inquiry into the lived experiences of the participants, both inside the group and outside, in our personal and professional environments.
The facilitators suggest topics for each meeting while honoring what emerges organically within the community and, more broadly, in the larger environment. Each participant is invited to identify one specific personal growth edge s/he wishes to explore within the group. Everyone is ultimately co-responsible for the evolution of the community, the themes that we explore, and the experience that we co-create.
Development unfolds participatorily through dialogue and creative, embodied, and contemplative action-inquiry. The awareness-based nature of our work invites the participation of our whole person—mind, heart, body, and spirit. Our action-oriented inquiry implies practical experimentation inside and outside the program.
Together, we expand our presence to what is, inside and outside ourselves, in each moment.
We deepen the integration of different aspects of ourselves and different "others" in our environment. We become more spacious and skillful in support of others' work of integration.
We become more agile in the constant re-generation of ourselves and the systems we evolve with.
Learning objectives
- to expand our capacity for presence—to ourselves, our clients, and the shared field in the moment
- to develop and diversify our faculties to attune to our clients
- to evoke awareness around developmental themes/patterns/dynamics in coaching
- to develop capacity and skills for developmental integration
- to expand the capacity for “organic” coaching, emerging naturally from the relational process
- to expand systems-intelligence and develop capacities and skills to coach within a Whole-Self/Whole-Systems perspective.
