Resilience is the ability to handle and bounce back from crisis. But beyond resilience lies antifragility which is the ability to use crisis and change to become stronger and better - to thrive. Rather than trying to survive the crisis, this means allowing the crisis or change to rework us, like soft clay, into something new, improved and more resilient ...
We are lucky if we have something we long to create! Perhaps it is your next project to execute, problem to solve, polarity to manage or big desire to enact. While our work in the world comes easy to some of us, many of us also experience a lack of clarity in really stating what it is that we are ...
The three foundations of relationship are friendship, abilities to resolve conflicts back to love, and a love affair. In many ways it’s obvious how to be friends and resolve conflicts, but what are the dimensions of a good love affair? We tend to be attracted to someone who resonates with our wounds and dreams. Wounds and dreams can be explored ...
Part of growing up is learning how to balance transparent and authentic communication with empathy and understanding our impact on others. It’s also learning how to call back our projections and see the other for who they truly are, and are becoming. Join Lisa for a powerful monthly session where we will dive into how to use your relationships as ...
“At some point in our lives, most of us absorbed this false belief that causes the feeling of shame. As a result of not feeling seen, loved, valued and understood, we developed the belief that we were not being loved because there was something wrong with us.” - Margaret Paul Shame is the feeling that there is something inherently wrong ...

We keep hearing about “a new normal.” But what exactly do we mean by that? What are we hoping for and what are we hoping against? In this session we’ll unpack our conscious and unconscious desires for the future and find ways to move into deeper relationship with what is. About the Antifragile Series Resilience is the ability to handle ...
“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes” - W. Whitman Transformation of our hearts and minds through the various lines of development has never been more vital.

How can we access and wield the power we have ethically? What does it mean to use power from a 2nd tier sensibility? How do we know if we are out of integrity with our use of power? According to Roger Walsh, action is ethical to the extent it aims to enhance the welfare and wellbeing of everyone including oneself. ...
To flourish is to thrive in every context of your life. And to do so, you need an integral mind, one that sees the big picture and the details of how flourishing is intimately tied to factors like emotional positivity, shadow, flow states, vitality, interpersonal connection, joy, purposeful contribution, and goal achievement. 48-hour discount on The Essence of Integral Flourishing ...

Join Grant for a hybrid kata that combines movement and stillness to open the heart-mind for increased vitality and compassion. The arc of the practice starts with getting in touch with our deepest inspiration for practice, performing light calisthenics, energization exercises, moving through all 3 bodies (gross, subtle and causal). Once we’re warmed up, we engage a seated practice with ...
The research has made increasingly clear the importance of fathers -- or the masculine role -- in children’s life. But walking the talk of being a good father can look easier than it actually is. Celebrating fathers is a nice gesture by society (and mothers too for that matter). Many however find the terrain to be trickier than the map ...
When it comes down to it, our greatest power lies in our ability to choose. When we choose by default by refusing to make a choice or choose the easiest route rather than the most intentional one, we not only give up our power but may be unintentionally acting unethically as well. How can you exercise your power to choose ...
Feelings are the communication of life. They make us feel alive. When feelings can communicate their messages, we can act accordingly, but we lose their wisdom when they are blocked and suppressed. In the interactive Unity Within practice, we let feelings speak in the first person to distill their data to us using the Big Mind Method. In each session ...
“We are leading in uncertain times:” it’s become a meme. And it has become our reality. A reality that, as leaders, is our responsibility to help our associates navigate. How do we do that? How, in the time of COVID and intense political unrest, do we keep our workplace culture from devolving into a morass of drama and victimhood? Join ...

This session has been cancelled. Stay tuned for rescheduling! If you are an Enneagram 3, you likely see yourself as incredibly self-sufficient. In fact the idea of being “needy” may feel abhorrent. Let’s explore how this pattern keeps us stuck in overdrive, overwhelm and overcommitment. Join Lisa for a monthly facilitated practice group designed specifically for Enneagram 3’s, where we ...
The Ladder doesn’t go anywhere. The race isn’t real. The things we have are not as important as the grooves we carve. Deep down, we know this. Yet, we do nothing. We’re called to something more in our life, yet we’re anchored to the life we have. Most of us would prefer to have a calling, but we’re unwilling to ...
A revolution in the understanding of the 3 centers: A slow, fine-tuned way of being with self and others. We are deeply conditioned by the environment in which we live which is filtered through the 3 centers of our human organism: Mental, Emotional and Feeling/Physical. Given our Enneagram patterns of attention, emotion and behavior, we overuse one of these centers, ...
