In this exploration, I want to bring together the four pillars that underpin my approach to personal and professional transformation and development: Coaching, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, Mindfulness, and Shamanism.

These seemingly disparate elements might surprise you, but together they form a powerful framework for self-discovery, growth, and achieving your goals. Let's delve deeper into each pillar and how they could contribute to your journey:

1. Coaching: Your Trusted Guide

Coaching forms the foundation of our work together. As your coach, I'll act as your supportive guide, asking thought-provoking questions that help you gain clarity on your goals and challenges. Through active listening and personalized guidance, I'll empower you to tap into your own strengths and resources to navigate your path forward.

2. LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®: Reimagine Your Possibilities

Get ready to unleash your inner child and unlock creativity with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. This innovative method uses LEGO® bricks as a metaphorical tool to explore complex ideas and challenges. By building models and sharing stories around your creations, you'll gain fresh perspectives, foster deeper connections with your ideas, and unlock innovative solutions.

3. Mindfulness: Cultivate Inner Peace

Mindfulness is the practice of paying present-moment attention, without judgment. By incorporating mindfulness techniques into our sessions, you'll develop greater self-awareness, manage stress more effectively, and approach challenges with a calmer, more focused mind. This inner peace will serve as a springboard for growth and positive action.

4. Shamanic Wisdom: Reconnect with Your Spirit

Shamanism, with its ancient practices, offers a powerful lens for understanding ourselves and the world around us. Through techniques like guided meditations and exploring connections with the natural world, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery, fostering a deeper sense of purpose and connection to something larger than yourself.

The Synergy of the Four Pillars

These four pillars are not meant to stand alone. Their true power lies in their synergy. We'll weave coaching principles with the playful exploration of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, the grounding techniques of mindfulness, and the introspective wisdom of shamanic practices to create a transformative experience unlike any other.

If you're ready to embark on a unique path towards personal and/or professional growth, I invite you to explore how these four pillars can work together to empower you to achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.

Rain, A Crow, and Falling Stars: Haiku Love Reborn

“Rain falls down kissing the crow on the bright green grass, yellow stars falling" - Powered by Dall-E 3. Haiku is the traditional Japanese poetic form which captivates readers with its brevity and evocative imagery. I first created a created a haiku in the 1990’s and I have been mystified by their conciseness and beauty ever since. Yesterday (26.05.2024), I attended a haiku workshop called “Nature’s Meditation”, facilitated by Nora D’Ecclesis and organised by Thane Lawrie , and it was a truly empowering experience of our own individual sensory journeys on a dreich Sunday lunchtime. Surrounded by other members of the Aberdeenshire Soto Zen group that I attend (albeit on Google Meet) who were also interested in this concise art form, I learned about the power of observation and how to condense vivid imagery into a mere 17 syllables. The workshop fuelled my creativity and left me with a newfound sense of poetic achievement. After a great dive into the history of haiku and

I learned valuable lessons and techniques to guide teams effectively and create a collaborative environment. The Power of Playful Learning: One of the highlights was a playful exercise wh

When It is OK Not To Share: A Blogger's Quandary

“A Field of Dreams" by Karen Grayburn. The weekend just gone was absolutely incredible. What a fantastic and fabulous time. A gathering of friends of thirty-odd years in a field in Aberdeenshire for three days - and prepping the festival area for five days before that. It was a delight! I want to blog about it, but it seems just too sacred an experience to share openly. Blogging and content-writing is often seen as a platform for open and honest expression. A space where we share our thoughts, experiences, and passions with the world. But what happens when you have something burning to say, something that feels important and genuine, yet it's simply not appropriate to share publicly? It's a frustrating dilemma. You grapple with the urge to connect with your audience on a deeper level, to be truly authentic. But there's a line, a boundary that must be respected. Perhaps it's a personal matter that could hurt others, or something that might be misinterpreted an
