If you don’t go out in the woods

your life will never begin.”

Another sneak peak into a Life Enhancement Coaching/The Desire Map Workshop

Discovery

This is a further sneak peak into Life Design 101 featuring The Desire Map Workshop (Level 1).  If you want to check out the previous sneak peaks you can go to The Altar and Meaning & Connections.  These sneak peaks are to help de-mystify The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte and  the workshops I offer – as a licensed facilitator.

In this week’s blog, we take a sneak peak into blocks 3 & 4 of the workshop.  These blocks focus on Discovery – a big important chunk of the workshop.

If the last session was all about getting our feet into the raw earth, this double session is all about digging deep and getting our hands dirty………. in the best possible way.

These are the segments where workshop attendees start to desire map.
The question as attendees are guided through the workshop is……
how do you want to feel in key areas of your life? 

Discovery starts with a small group warm up session and then it’s time to start with the new work.  This will be time for solo reflection and time for writing in your Desire Map workbook. (The workbook will be available for you at the beginning of the workshop).  

 

Anything goes here.   Dream big.  There are no right or wrong answers.
This is all about the freedom to explore.

This is where workshop attendees get to the heart of the matter. Working on the way they want to feel and playing with…… and finding core desired feelings. At this point, this is free flowing……… not just singular words, but finding phrases…….whatever works best.

This is all based on the way ‘you’ want to feel…….not what you believe you should be feeling or what you believe you are expected to be feeling.
 This is all about leaving history behind and starting anew.

Following the solo work, there is a brief break before we come back into the group for a little sharing and free flowing discussion.  

It’s then time to start reviewing words and phrases to choose words that most reflect our core desired feelings.  At this point we explore pattern recognition helping narrow down the words that best meet our core desired feelings.

By the end of the Discovery blocks, workshop attendees will have broken their list of words down to 3 or 4 representing their core desired feelings.  It is suggested that these be used and tried on for size for a few weeks.

 (There is a bonus session following on from the workshop for attendees
to review these core desired feelings.)

After a little more group discussion, this will bring the Discovery blocks to a close.

The final 2 blocks of the workshop then follow on.  These blocks include declarations, dreaming, planning, support beyond the workshop and wrapping up.
