The Aikido of Embodied Presence and Dialogue

This workshop focuses on three things: Embodied Presence, Dialogue, and Manifesting Envisioned Futures. Through a series of somatic, experiential, and reflective exercises, you will learn how you can:

Deepen Embodied Presence

• Gain instant access to deeper presence, awareness, intuition, and common sense, especially in difficult situations.
• Use energetic presence practices for becoming more grounded, powerful, compassionate, and authentic when under pressure.
• Become a more creative, generative, and reconciling presence.
• Through the power of your presence, generate and hold a field for what wants to happen (higher intention).
• Tune into the subtle information in a group’s or organization’s energy field to be informed about how to facilitate/lead what is emerging.
• Access and trust intuitive insights in the moment.
• Create the inner conditions for deep inquiry, authenticity, vulnerability, depth, and dialogue.

Engage in Dialogue

• Discern between dialogue and discussion on the discourse spectrum.
• Using all of the above, create the conditions and resonate field for dialogue.
• Feel/Sense together into the field of complex challenges and possibilities.
• Generate insights and breakthroughs in thought, perception, and outcomes for the world.
• Use dialogue circles as a generating system for seeing new possibilities, strategy, system design, culture, products, and services.

Manifest Envisioned Futures

• Access the quantum field of all possibility at very high frequencies (greater energy and information density, faster processing, and shorter timeframes) to declare for and accelerate the manifestation of intended results through collective action.
• Operate at multiple levels simultaneously: sensing and feeling systems, and influencing people, teams, and systems without force of will and without imposing your opinions or positions.
• Access power that is simultaneously sourced by your vision and from the larger fields of which you are a part.
• Work with the energies and forces that are present rather than combat, avoid, or overcome them; in other words, use what appear as obstacles to your advantage.

As consultants, we are often called to design and facilitate dialogue processes with our clients.  This workshop will briefly cover the technical and process-oriented aspects of dialogue, but our main focus will be on all the above—developing the inner awareness, practices, and sensitivities that are foundational to the dialogue process.

Workshop sessions will take place in person, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (except Friday, which will conclude at 4 p.m.), at the dojo located at 9333 N. 49th St., Brown Deer, WI 53223. As a courtesy to fellow cohort members, participants are expected to be present the entire time.
