Come and explore the world of polarity and wholeness through creative and experiential workshops and coaching. Discover what is possible when you move past and transcend ‘either/or’ thinking
Polarities are everywhere – they are the opposites that we struggle with everyday: connection vs autonomy; introvert vs extrovert; being vs doing.
Maybe you feel stuck in a situation – unable to move, unable to accept a particular way of being or ‘pole’. Yet in this rejected or shadow pole there may be great gifts which you need in order to live a more balanced life. You may find yourself swinging wildly between two different poles or you may just be struggling with what seems like an ‘either’/’or’ decision.
Through exploring and working with polarity, you can explore ways to hold the tension between the poles, discovering what ‘wholeness’ feels and looks like. This is relevant for individuals, teams and organisations.
Our workshops aim to give you the tools and understanding to create from polarity, transcend the ‘either’/’or’ thinking that is so common in our society and help you begin to live your life from a wholeness perspective. Two of our facilitators are training with Wendy Palmer as Conscious Embodiment Teachers and we integrate Conscious Embodiment work in our workshops/coaching.
We are inspired by many different and diverse traditions and philosophies. Polarity/Wholeness has a rich, deep and long tradition in a host of spiritual traditions including Taoism and Buddhism.
The writings of Parker J Palmer, Quaker, teacher and philosopher speaks deeply to us and we have integrated some of his work/theories into our workshop. The work of the Polarity Pathways Group in the US has been very inspiring and we have been using an adapted version of their coaching model in our work. We are currently developing an approach to polarity work with individuals and organisations that we are calling the Paradoxo Approach and this has been inspired by spiritual traditions mentioned above and gestalt psychotherapy/counselling models
“It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites /opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity /where energies flow smoothly in one direction /there will be much doing but no music.” – Eric Hoffer
