Masters Students get a taste of Embodied Leadership

Sylvia spent the earlier part of this week with her Masters Students (OD & People Development), who got to experience a whole day of learning about embodied leadership. The event was designed using Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey (1949). When we as leaders are called to action, our declarations can be fulfilled if they become truly embodied. When we start to encounter the trials of the underworld, we embark on practices that shape the body thereby building the capacity to overcome the trials. We also learn to face the ultimate trial of the Self which results in us returning to the overworld in a more accomplished way.

Participants found this to be a deeply moving, and transformative process, and could certainly see how this type of development and coaching would be of benefit to themselves and their organisations.
