"Spiritual
growth is like childbirth: you dilate, then you contract, you dilate, then
you contract again. As painful as it all feels, it's the necessary rhythm
for reaching the ultimate goal of total openness."
--Marianne Williamson
"I also
believe that it's almost impossible for people to change alone. We need to
join with others who will push us in our thinking and challenge us to do
things we didn't believe ourselves capable of."
-- Frances Moore Lappe
"In
any given moment we have two options:
to step forward into growth or to
step back into safety."
-- Abraham Maslow
"What is needed is
a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love
without power is sentimental and anemic."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
Our Vision
If you
come join us in our WholeBody Wisdom Growth Community you'll have the
opportunity to experience:
Our Mission
To surround ourselves with open, embodied,
adventurous friends -- that
are committed to having fun while evolving and growing themselves and thereby the
world around them. We create juicy community events where we
practice deeply expressing and integrating all parts of ourselves.
Our Standards
Our Norms
When we attend a WholeBody
Wisdom event, it is with the understanding that we're entering an "Integral Third-Stage Dojo." A
place to practice being more open, loving, powerful and free -- in the
face of real world challenges. To create the
container for the Third-Stage Dojo -- we all agree to do our best to
embrace these norms while at WholeBody Wisdom events:
Growth, Openness, and Risk Taking vs.
Therapy, Healing, or "Safety"
Enlightened Self-Interest --
not Self-Sacrifice
We're all Students, Teachers, Followers, and
Leaders
Powerfully effective Emotional Expression & Integration [There
are no "bad" emotions -- only ways of expressing, suppressing or denying
emotions that can have harmful consequences.]
Third-Stage: Embodied Coaching and Heart-Connected Feedback.
"Feedback is the breakfast
of champions."
-- Ken Blanchard
Openness of Mind, Heart, and Body
Effectiveness -- not Righteousness
