A rare opportunity to spend an in-person weekend with Martha Beck gaining skills in resiliency and weathering transformation.

It’s never been more true that change is the only constant in our lives. Every day, millions of people grapple with situations that were unimaginable just one generation ago. And the pace of change is not slowing: on the contrary, it’s speeding up.

So how do we, creatures of habit that we are, learn to navigate in an environment where nothing remains stable?

Martha Beck has spent decades as a social scientist and coach, studying change, how it affects people’s lives and how we can not only stop fearing it but actually use it to thrive.

In this three-day workshop, Martha will help you understand the fluid conditions of twenty-first century living. She will give you tools for working with change, and most importantly, teach you to use your innate skills and instinctive knowledge to “surf” the waves of change that are continuously transforming our world.

Workshop participants will:

• Learn to drop away from the “tameness” of socialization, which holds us back from fluid change, and live more freely, authentically, and successfully.
• Track and find the “wild self” that is always guiding each of us toward our optimal life path.
• Tap into limitless resources of power, creativity, peace, purpose, and joy.
• Use the “wild mind” in real time to invent creative, often unprecedented solutions to the practical problems in a constantly changing life situation.

Leave the workshop with new peace, purpose, and a practice to carry the skills learned in the workshop into every aspect of life.

May 26-30, 2019 or June 2-6, 2019

You were meant to live in peace, with purpose, and deep connection to the world, others, yourself.

Discover exactly what that purpose is. For you, for your lifetime.

Take the step that will help you heal not only yourself but help you heal others and heal the world. Registration for 2019 is OPEN, registration closes November 8.

It’s a modern-day quest. A coming-of-age journey for exactly-the-age-you-are-now. The African STAR is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will transform you and your world.

And this is your time to begin the story of how you found your true self. A story that is grander, and wilder, than anything you could imagine now. A story you will tell—and retell—for the rest of your life. A story Nature herself has been conspiring to lead you to all along.

Announcing WRITE INTO LIGHT, a revolutionary writing workshop. This transformative new writing course, taught by Martha Beck—with guest appearances by author Elizabeth Gilbert—will help you find your unique wisdom and hone your skills in offering it to the world. You’ll learn to use writing as alchemy, a process that transforms both you and the world around you. Join the community of Light Writers as we create new cultural paradigms grounded in compassion, clarity and the language of the soul.

Join us as we gather together for a weekend that will recharge you, revive your sense of purpose, and reconnect you with the truest part of yourself: the part that knows how to bring your magic out into the world.

Friday, Sep 28 – Sunday, Sep. 30, 2018

This is a rare opportunity to spend the weekend with author and life coach Martha Beck, Ph.D. She’ll use concepts, stories, and exercises to teach you the skills for navigating any life storm.

You’ll learn to release attachments that make storms destructive. You’ll become more skilled at “riding the wind,” becoming fluid and flexible. And you’ll connect with an inexhaustible source of comfort and creativity to help you weather anything life throws at you.

Whether you’re facing a specific challenge, feeling stuck, or preparing to take a leap into the unknown, the tools you gain from this workshop will serve you well. And you’ll be learning in the company of others who can cheer, guide, and encourage you.

Among other things, you will:

• Identify and release the unhealthy attachments that can make you rigid and frozen, unable to adapt to the rapidly-changing conditions of a life storm.
• Find the “true nature” at the core of your psyche that knows how to ride out even the most frightening situations.
• Use life storms to stimulate more creativity, joy, and personal power, rather than destroying you.
• Come up with innovative solutions for the practical problems in your life, and also in the world around you.

After this workshop, you’ll emerge with renewed hope and courage, as well as practical skills that will help you ride every life storm, small or large, to a more joyful place.
