Who am I to become in these times?

What is my gift for this world?

What is my purpose in life?

Each of us is born with a unique set of innate abilities. And each of us is needed as we strive to move towards more hopeful and enriching futures. This full day workshop is for the person who is searching for direction, seeking to discover their deeper purpose in this life.

In our times of displacement, constant change and uncertainty, the question of human purpose is more important than ever. And it is not an accident that so many of us are feeling lost. Many of us are discovering that the cultural narratives we have inherited are not rich enough to capture the true depth of our human lives.

Initiatives of Change Australia and Cornerstone Melbourne are coming together to offer a day for deep reflection, discovery and transformation. Together, we will spend time re-imagining and re-discovering a sense of deep purpose in our lives. Finding ways to define a self that is large enough for the times we are living in.

We hope you will come away from this day with a much clearer sense of who you are, what your gifts are, and some practical next steps for your life.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

A safe and well held group container
A well designed and facilitated journey for self discovery and connection to your purpose
Processes and practices for deep personal reflection and insight (Exploring your: gifts, skills, self-worth, challenges, history, values, intrinsic and extrinsic motivators...)
Group processes, inquiry and discussions
Sharing in smaller groups and pairs
Movements towards a fuller and more courageous participation in this life
A nourishing lunch which is included

INITIATIVES OF CHANGE:

Initiatives of Change (IofC) is a world-wide movement of people of diverse cultures and backgrounds, who are committed to the transformation of society through changes in human motives and behaviour, starting with our own.

YOUR FACILITATORS:

Accompanying our team at Cornerstone is Mike Lowe from Initiatives of Change Australia:

Mike has over 25 years of international experience with IofC leading transformational workshops in the areas of trustbuilding and reconciliation. He has worked with politicians and young leaders in Eastern Europe after the fall of communism, and has worked on programmes of reconciliation with police and former militia leaders in the Solomon Islands.

His particular gift is in creating safe spaces in which transformation can occur, and he has a particular interest in earth-based spirituality, indigenous wisdom, process-oriented psychology, trauma healing, men's work and supporting the rise of healthy and authentic Masculine and Feminine energies as we transition from patriarchal and colonial ways of being. He co-facilitates healing workshops Innate Wisdom Connection and blogs at www.mikelowe.com.au

ALL ARE WELCOME:

All ages, cultures, orientations.

This event and this series seek to create spaces for all, as we seek to build bridges, and weave trust. We hope to co-create open, connective, and generative dialogues; even in all of our differences.

🌏 HONOURING THE LANDS AND WATERS WE GATHER WITH:

We acknowledge that this event takes place on and with unceded Aboriginal land. We pay our utmost respect to the Wurrundjeri people from the Kulin nation and invite all who join us to remember history, pain, and privilege as we seek to include history, live, love, and lead in ways that allow a more inclusive and regenerative future to emerge.

We look forward to journeying with you!
