Reflection of Day 1

Since January when I finished creating my workshop out line I have been anxiously awaiting it to begin.

As weeks went by I would think of the things I needed to do in order to put this together, from posters, to target audiences, from room rentals to proposals it all came down to this past Saturday.

On Friday night I got the keys to the community centre to set up for my early morning on Saturday.

After I had the room all set up just how I wanted it I sat in the middle of it and soaked it all in.

I visualized myself there in the morning, with a group of woman, and just allowed myself to let the feeling of fullness back into my awareness. And I breathed it all in.

Saturday morning arrives and the women begin to file in. The location was a little confusing as there are multiple entrances on the building, yet there are totally separate spaces. So many were going to the School entrance not realizing what was behind was where they needed to be.

It turned out just fine. 5 amazing women came into the program room yesterday morning. Some who have taken WEL-Systems certification, some who have experienced a WEL-Systems workshop, some who I have coached and some who can in blind with no real inkling of what it was all going to be about.

I don't remember the words that came out of my mouth, I can't remember for the life of me as each minute passed. It seems as though time FLEW.

The conversations and insights that were coming up for the women were pretty awesome and very intense for some of them. I've come to discover that workshops / programs like these take on a very life of their own (which I knew, but I didn't really KNOW it). Before I knew it it was noon and we hadn't even finished all the models I had planned for the day.

My subconscious mind kept me referring to "tomorrow we will... we can talk about that tomorrow..." etc. etc. This tells me that I would prefer facilitating/guiding an experience where we go for a few days in a row, and I really feel that is right for my future programs.

Things I have learned, go wherever your awareness takes you. If I feel I start talking about something that seems so out of context stay with it until I feel it is done being said... this seems to always prove relevant to someone who is listening in a big way (sometimes bigger than I will ever know).

I felt sad when I had to close the space. I had promised to take my niece & my 2 yr old to see the Big Comfy Couch Live in Halifax at 1 p.m. The conversations needed to continue happening and some big waves came for some people as I was packing up. Note to self for next time... leave at least 2 hrs free after a workshop experience to talk with anyone who needs some more time.

Inhale.

Counting down the days until next Saturday. Riding the waves that are my life.
