| Dear Do,
Greetings from Montana! I'm up here for another day or two, enjoying the mountains and my beautiful granddaughter. I came up to be part of a team of people presenting a workshop on Human Connection, here i Hamilton last weekend. I am really happy about how that went. The reception and feedback were tremendous and it left us all feeling excited and inspired. For me, it validated an important part of my own teaching. In the last few months, the way I've developed a new way of talking about our personal sphere, our personal wholeness, and how to use that image and understanding as a way to really get the whole "boundary" thing. Not boundaries as walls, not boundaries as things that might threaten your connection with other people, perhaps create loss and abandonment...but boundaries that deeply honor your own wholeness, and the wholeness of those around you.
If you could see me now, you'd see me reaching out to draw an imaginary circle around myself. This motion, demonstrating or delineating the area around me as my area of wholeness, my area of authority, has become a trademark motion - kind of how everyone in the workshop, and everyone I've showed it to, identifies this thing I'm using as the basis for the conversation about boundaries.
This frame of reference has been hugely powerful and transformative, for me as well as for the people I'm working with.It was the big take-away from the weekend - when asked about what their takeaway was, people just started drawing that circle, and smiling.
So I'm really clear I want to share the power of this approach far more widely.
I'm creating a master class around this idea - to introduce the concept and to work deeply with boundaries using it.
It's going to be a month-long class, in September. Four training modules and four opportunities for questions and coaching.
You can read more about it here: http://scoutwilkins.com/boundaries-that-honor-wholeness/
I wanted to let you know right away, because I'm offering a serious early-bird discount to get some momentum going around it. I would really love to reach a wide audience with this training.
I hope you will check it out, sign up if it resonates, and pass the link on to friends who might also be interested. It would be great to do this with a friend or two, so you can practice together!
Thanks!
