I have seen in a long time. It is fresh, interesting, needed and written
to reach out and touch the toughest part of each of us. This is not about
story telling, but more importantly, about how we can
all change our story and create a future distinct from the past. Read
this ebook”. - Peter Block author (Flawless

| Perched on a ridge at the head of a valley in the Umkomaas river system in KwaZulu-Natal, the Buddhist Retreat Centre looks out on a vista of indigenous valleys, forests and rolling hills receding like waves in the blue distance. Here, for more than twenty years people of all religions and none have come to experience peace and tranquillity. It is a gentle, sympathetic space where one can be still and get in touch with oneself and reflect on the things that crowd one's life. When: Weekend ofFebruary 10 – 12, 2012Where: Buddhist Retreat Centre, Ixopo, KZN, South Africa For booking information email brcixopo@futurenet.co.za |

| An experiential and practical retreat. Participants are equipped with tools to act with greater calmness, courage and imagination in managing stress, loss, change and transition. We learn to use our power of imagination and the practise of mindfulness to discover our “hero within”. Paths threading the 300 acre property each bring their own revelation: follow the pine-scented path to the dam; walk past ancient cycads to the tracks of early Voortrekker wagons; discover an assegai-sharpening stone on a hillside; or point your feet towards the rocky outcrop that provides a perfect seat for contemplating the valley below. Nearby are the breeding sites of the exquisite, but rare Blue Swallow . The BRC has been declared a Natural Heritage Site by former President Nelson Mandela. Facilitated by Peter Fox & Graham Williams |

| How we interpret the narratives within our Life Story is crucial in influencing our life affirming energy, centredness, creativity and vitality, and countering the destructiveness and self-sabotage that can happen along the way. Fear and Love are key emotions as our lives engage with inevitable change and loss. When we leave a relationship, the country, lose our health, or change our jobs we are confronted with challenges to our identity, contentment and equilibrium. We are thrust into transition – uncharted territory of mind and heart, a place of insecurity, uncertainty, stress, energy-depletion. Yet also a place of new insights and self-discovery that can enrich, restore our balance and renew us. New beginnings. By opening up to story, anecdote and metaphor we can become liberated, begin to hear and tell our work and personal lives in new and vital ways, discover the ‘hero within’, become our own therapist, embrace transformation. Like the lotus flower, we bloom and seed new beginnings. We reach into what may be murky depths and produce something of infinite beauty and worth. An experiential and practical retreat that equips participants with tools to act with greater awareness, calmness, imagination and courage. Facilitated by Peter Fox and Graham Williams |

Story Telling & Listening Workshops
A
unique year-start event for your staff... introduce them to an exciting
new way of communicating, sharing, passing on information, knowledge and
wisdom. This will improve team dynamics and assertiveness as well as being
alot of fun.
Let
free what has been hiding inside you for too long. Embrace writing, the
easiest of arts. Overcome what has been holding you back. Learn the skills
of writing in business and social contexts. Get noticed. Make an impact.
At the heart of this retreat is our belief that once we raise our Story IQ, we begin to hear and tell our work and personal life in a new and vital way. We open up to transformation and new leadership paths. Like the lotus flower, we bloom and seed new beginnings. We reach into what may be murky depths and produce something of infinite beauty and worth. In so doing, prosperity and abundance take on new meanings.
In
these difficult times, many issues and choices may confront us : unemployment
and financial insecurity, failing relationships, health problems. We are
challenged to stay centred and focussed and connected to whatever confronts
us - no matter how uncomfortable. 
Identify the life-stage you are in, discover your purpose, see your life as an unfolding story, and enter the adventure
and become fully alive.
