The Enneagram:
|
||||||||
Friday evening & Saturday, Oct. 23 & 24, 2009
The Enneagram is a powerful system for understanding human motivation that offers amazing insights into the way we perceive and relate. The Enneagram differs from Myers-Briggs by focusing on motivation, beliefs, and inner habits of thinking and feeling. You find your place on the Enneagram through your inner experience rather than your outer behaviour. Discover or confirm your style through lively panel discussions of each type. Learn to apply the Enneagram in your work and personal life as a tool for self-awareness, leadership, relationships and teambuilding. Profound insights for both the new and the long-time Enneagram practitioner!

Language at Work:

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Tonight, take part in a conversation with an expert about how to have conversations that matter at work. Religious and spiritual beliefs and values directly affect our daily actions and interactions. But we are often afraid to ask questions about a co-worker's religious practices and perspectives … or explain our own! What are the meanings of certain terms used by people of different faith backgrounds? How can religion and spirituality be discussed in an informative and enriching way, without crossing the line in the workplace? Do join us and bring your own questions and stories. Robert Barlow, LL.B is a journalist with the CBC's National Radio Newsroom in Toronto. In a career that has spanned 30 years he has worked for The Canadian Press, CTV, Global-TV and written a column on religion for The London Free Press. Rob has studied and written much about different faiths and the impact of religion on people and events, as well as taking part in efforts to promote inter-faith dialogue and understanding. Of course, his choice of language when speaking about religion and spirituality has become intrinsic in Rob's own work.

Work Like You Don't Need the Money!

|

Fri-Sat, Jan 29-30, 2010
What we do to make a living can cost more than you or the Earth can afford. Work that makes a meaningful life, one that’s spiritually fulfilling, environmentally sustainable, socially just, and respects our integrity is invaluable. Learn three creative approaches. A new spirituality of work is based on the recovered teachings of the Mystics, global religions, and the paths of Creation Spirituality. A new cosmology of work expands our inherited stories, cultural myths and the legends that define our work habits with alternative governing ethics and principles taught by the ways of the Universe. The Reinvention of Work is enabled by mentoring stories, practical techniques, and plausible next steps toward change. Grounded in the work of Matthew Fox, Thomas Berry, Margaret Wheatley. Rev. Dr. Carol Kilby, DMin, is the founder and Director of the Gaia Centre for Eco-Spirituality and Sustainable Work in Haliburton, Ontario (www.GaiaCentre.org). Her lifework includes being a teacher, a therapeutic recreationist, and she is a re-fired United Church minister. Her doctoral work, at the former University of Creation Spirituality, led by Matthew Fox in Oakland, California, focused on the creation of a program challenging conventional views of work as only a job or way to make money. She helps people see work as the creative expression of each unique soul, the spirit at work in the world through us, and to take action in their own lives to manifest this, co-operating with their deepest desires and sacred imagination for the sake of bringing more beauty, joy, and hope into being.

Hold ON and Let Go:
|
||||||||
Tuesday April 20, 2010
In the wake of the economic downturn, many of us now face greater uncertainty at work. We worry about job security, where we'll find clients and/or income, or what will happen if we must embark on something new. Fear of the unknown and worries about what if? can cause great stress. How can we respond to uncertainty in ways that help us cope and thrive? Tonight we will acknowledge the challenge of such uncertainty and seek to embrace it. We will discuss practical ways to hold on to a healthy sense of self and build inner strength. We'll also explore how to let go of worries and limiting attitudes. With a focus on possibilities for growth, we'll look for a balance between stability and flexibility so we can be both grounded and adaptable while we prepare for change.

Breaking Out
|
||||||||
Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Are your days focused, energetic and purposeful? Or do you go through the motions, hoping that one day you'll recognize your dream and know when to pursue it? That's unlikely to happen. Only you can choose what you want from life. It's not easy to break out of the cultural pattern of going with the flow, doing what everyone else is doing. It takes strength, commitment and a plan to break away and do what you need to do. But if you want to, all it takes to start is one decision: "Yes. Now I will do something better for myself". This session includes tools, tips and exercises to help you become unstuck, find the path of your dreams and develop an action plan to move yourself forward. Break out from the Someday syndrome: stop waiting and start living!

Finding Vocation:
|
||||||||
3 Tues, June 1,8,15, 2010
Most people spend more time and energy planning a vacation than they do considering their vocation. To find your vocation for this stage of your life's journey and move forward with confidence, both clarity and courage are necessary. Especially in challenging times. This program gives you that important time for personal self-reflection, sharing with a partner, and group discussion, all within the context of the discernment model, Clarity and Courage. Come with your musings about your career restlessness, your retirement, your job loss, or other major life changes. You may be led to a new role in your organization, a renewed perspective on your profession, a reason to stay in or to leave your current position, an integrated view of volunteer and paid work, a more productive direction for your job search or retirement plans, or something entirely different. Leave with a readiness for change or action, be it internal or external. And enjoy the live piano music that will help us on the journey. Included as a special gift from Tim is a one-on-one follow-up session during the coming year. Tim Elliott, DMin, ( www.TimElliott.ca) is a vocational consultant, speaker, and Anglican priest whose doctoral work focused on helping people find their vocation. Through his own company Elliott Resource Services and Forrest & Company where he is a Director of Coaching & Facilitation, Tim offers individual coaching programs to help executives, lawyers, clergy, and other professionals with life and work transitions. At Christ Church Deer Park he co-founded Jazz Vespers, and he regularly speaks across Canada about spirituality, jazz, creativity, vocation, and more. Tim performs often as a solo pianist or with his quartet. He is the author of Clarity and Courage: Life as an Improvised Journey, and has released two solo piano CDs: All the Things You Are (jazz standards) and New EveryMorning (favourite hymns), all available for sale at the program.
