A Simplified (and less costly
) Personal Renewal Group starting mid-October!
The more I have the opportunity to speak with women about what is really going on in their lives… I mean beneath the surface, what is really going in… the more I am drawn to serve people with the gift of having some space, time, guidance, support from others and focus on living a life that has meaning, balance and fun. It is a difficult time right now for many and this is even more of a reason to gather a group of mothers to pause, reflect and make some progress on living a more calm, peaceful life despite the chaos that is swirling around them. Which is why I have decided to change the direction of the Personal Renewal Group from what I initially set out to do.
I recently had a realization — there are people out there, friends or friends of friends and people I haven’t met yet, who want this kind of opportunity but right now, with this economy and the many stresses that go with that, aren’t able to give themselves this needed gift. So…. I have decided not to let the money, space constraints, extra needed supplies and materials, etc. get in the way of my offering this. A large chunk of the initial cost ($400) of the program was going to space rental and materials. So let’s simply gather at my home, making do with that environment and the supplies that we all have and focus on the real work at hand — slowing down and sharpening our own personal saw so that we can be of service and benefit to everyone else in life. All the while, feeling good about who we are and the choices we are making. I have been doing similar work with a group of women (wisdom circle work) and the grounding, thoughtful support this provides seems to have been very meaningful for people. In this PRG group, I will be leading our exploration through the Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal and I will also be grounding our journey in centering and mindfulness practices (simple meditation to quiet the mind, gentle yoga or body movement, breathing exercises). You can read more on my website: http://mindsightcoaching.com/coaching-services/personal-renewal-group-for-mothers/.
So, there is space for about 7-10 committed people and I plan to kick off this journey with a group of mothers in mid-late October. We will meet about every three weeks on Wednesday or Thursday mornings (we can figure out what works best for those interested) from 9:30-11 and the suggested donation will be anywhere from $60 -120 for the 12 sessions ($5-10 per session ) to help cover my prep and group life coaching time. I will ask that participants bring their own book and possibly a pillow/cushion for sitting.
