A conscious way

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Elisabeth Lentz

Martin tuning into his new home at Quest University on the Hound Sound in Squamish.

Gruess Gott to you all,

I hope you all experienced your summer in a conscious way, noticing what was happening, the choices you made and how it made you feel. Yes, summer is over and you haven’t heard from me. I apologize! Please, always know, my door is always open for stopping by.

Robb and I dropped Martin off at Quest University. My gut feeling tells me it is the perfect place for him. Excellent, challenging academics surrounded by incredible nature. The Indian Chief of the Squamish Nation was invited to give a speech at the Convocation and welcomed all the students to the mountains where his tribe used to send their youngsters to become adults, basically a vision quest.

Needless to say, I feel blessed leaving my youngest son there to grow and learn.

In regards to my journey, I took a couple of workshops, which were very enriching and confirming in regards to my path. Although I am anxious to share all this with you. I have decided to put teaching off till November, since I am leaving again to go to Germany for the month of October. (I am checking out a pilgrimage very close to my hometown. Hopefully we can all go together next year.) I am still meeting for private sessions though by appointments, since I am in Park City all of September.

Starting November:

I will have regular mindful movement classes. Dates and times to be announced. INPUT welcome.

I will be still teaching the 7 day private course in Energy movement/Chakra development.

I have a workshop planned for Sept.6-9, a combination of mindful movement, breath work and meditation-workshop, with meals and overnight stays. Details to be announced.

I have a silent retreat planned Dec.5-7, with meals and overnight stays. Details will be announced.

I am in the process to get a simple website going, so it will be easier to schedule and pay. As always I am open to suggestions and please, let me know if you want me to take you off the e-mail list, or if you get multiple e-mails. I only want you to receive this because you are interested.

Sending you love and light, breathe easy,

Elisabeth

Generative Coaching asks for Intention and Courage

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Elisabeth Lentz

Whether our intention is to change ourselves or some element of the world around us, we cannot simply wish for transformation or hope that our lives will be altered through circumstance. If our patterns of thought and behavior remain unchanged, our lives will continue to unfold much as they have previously. Patterns in which fruitless efforts prevail can be overcome with self examination and courage. It is our bravery that allows us to question the choices we have made thus far and to channel our effort into innovation.

The Journey

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Elisabeth Lentz

by Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began,

Though the voices around you

Kept shouting their bad advice-

though the whole house began to tremble

And you felt the old tug at your ankles.

“Mend my life!” Each voice cried.

But you didn’t stop.

You knew what you had to do,

Though the wind pried

With its stiff fingers at the very foundations,

Though their melancholy was terrible

It was already late enough, and a wild night,

And the road full of fallen

Branches and stones.

But little by little, as you left their voices behind,

the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice

which you slowly recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world, determined to do

the only thing you could do-

determined to save

the only life that you could save.

Welcome to Restore Balance! Take a breath, exhale, let down and look honestly, yet caringly inside, at what is asking you to be healed. Deep inside all of us, we know there is someone we were meant to be. And we can feel when we’re becoming that person. The reverse is also true. We know when something is off and we are not the person we were meant to be. Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers while life teaches us lessons along the way.

My question is: How can I, as a Coach and Workshop Leader, assist you to find your way through your challenges and discomforts and open up to the possibilities of healing and growth through your creative expression? How can I help people to dive deeper than the ordinary cognitive state of consciousness, that is the usual mode for interaction for solving problems in our culture? How can I guide you to your own source of wisdom, accessing creative generative consciousness? What does it take for you, to gain insight and find solutions, specific to your situation which will lead to integration and wholeness in your life and relationships? I am committed, to this kind of transformative work in my personal life as well as in my students’ and clients’ lives. This approach can heal not only each individual on their path, but ripples out into the community and world in which we all live.

I strongly believe, by healing yourself you heal the world.
