Life Coach Gregory Russell Benedikt returns to the show to discuss Ikigai, a Japanese philosophy that encompasses passion, vocation, profession, and mission, to illuminate the path toward purposeful living. We navigate through the complexities of personal fulfillment, societal expectations, and the pervasive "purpose gap" affecting many men today.We address the notion that passion, purpose, and income must always align perfectly, advocating instead for a more holistic approach to finding meaning in life. Through candid anecdotes and expert insights, we uncover the iterative journey of discovering one's Ikigai and shed light on the toll that a lack of direction can take, particularly among young men.Moreover, we emphasize the significance of heart-centered connections in both personal and professional spheres, recognizing their pivotal role in fostering growth and fulfillment. By addressing the challenges of the male malaise through the lens of Ikigai, we aim to inspire listeners to embark on their own journey toward purpose and meaningful living.Gregory's Links:Free Find Your Ikigai  [DOWNLOAD]Ted Talk: How To Ikigai | Tim TamashiroGregory's WebsiteMagic Mind: Get 58% off Your First MonthSupport the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HEREEnroll Here

In this episode, Kyle interviews Lisa Wessing: Clinical Psychologist and facilitator specializing in harm reduction at Kiyumí retreats in The Netherlands.  Wessing shares her personal journey and the shift from being uninspired with studying psychology to being a part of space-holding in Mexico and finding her true path. She dives into the world of Kiyumí retreats, discussing their holistic healing approach using psilocybin, somatic movement, dance expression, and other methods supporting their four pillars of embodiment, nature, mindfulness, and art. She discusses their more long-term program with Dr. Gabor Maté integrating his Compassionate Inquiry framework; their Equity Program, which offers partial or full funding for people who may not have the financial resources or who come from marginalized communities (e.g. BIPOC & Queer); and the importance of integration as a continuous process and checking in with people much later to build their “Kiyumíty.” Much of this discussion covers the challenges of somatic psychology and facilitation in group containers: how most people are somatically illiterate and the journey of becoming more somatic; what to do about someone laughing or singing in a group context; what moving into one's body really means; and different ways of using art to integrate an experience. As part of our Vital program, we are running a psilocybin retreat with Kiyumí from September 6-11, and we have some available spots left!

She shares her expertise and personal experiences with this powerful modality that digs deep into family and ancestral roots. Do you know what Constellation Work is, its controversial beliefs, and its universal wisdom? Here's how it can help you heal. Alexis talks about understanding nature's hierarchies and how restoring them can bring love and relieve suffering. Our cultural expectations of comfort and entitlement are challenged as we explore the essence of love. By focusing on community and connection, we encourage deep personal growth and conflict resolution. We'll be exploring the teachings of Constellation Work. It's all about the power of the heart and how we can transform. About Our Guest: Alexis Alma Alexis is a householder and includes motherhood, life partnering and living in the holiness and horror of family life among her greatest accomplishments. Living on 6 acres of stolen land outside of Ashland, Oregon on PrayerFarm, Alexis is immersed in the amazing project of learning how to live in community, in integrity with the land and its creatures, and how to build the better world we know is possible one day at a time. Watch Alexis's Video Alexis Alma, MA, has degrees in Education, Counseling, Psychology and Group Facilitation. She has worked with expert teachers and leaders in the fields of Neuroscience and many areas of Human Potential for over 25 years. Alexis has worked as a mental health therapist, counselor, coach, and mentor and served children in the ‘system,' adolescents, families in crisis, couples on the rocks, adults just trying to make it, professionals wanting an edge on their career, and anyone who longs for a truer experience of life. Alexis utilizes tools from many arenas of Sacred Science — Mindful/Presencing Practices, Neuroscience, Wisdom Traditions, and Systemic Constellation Work. Alexis's capacity to synthesize information from a wide body of modalities is one of the things that makes her a uniquely effective practitioner. This powerful work teaches the necessary tools for taking on one's own transformation. Her laser-sharp focus provides accurate reflection and input that will rapidly propel you forward to the place you long to arrive. Alexis recognizes participants' unique capacities, supports them in anchoring this in their bones, and works directly with the brain so new neural pathways are built—this sustains positive and lasting change. She dedicates her life to supporting humanity's rapid evolution in these incredible times of change. What is Systemic Constellation Work? Systemic Constellation Work is an active group process for personal and collective healing and evolution. It loosens the control of our psychological minds, connects us to the wisdom of our body-minds, provides access to the roots of our capacities and limitations, and makes way for a depth and scope of transformation rarely experienced in traditional therapies. Constellation Work is a highly effective and efficient tool for growth and can be used on its own or as an adjunct to many modalities. It is a body-based and experiential process and encourages us to “know” from our depths. https://alexisalma.com/

They touch on topics like defining the coaching client, one-on-One versus team coaching, and what coaching skills are and how they are foundational to unlocking a coaching mindset.  Reference(s): Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) from CRR Global (https://crrglobal.com/)  Clean Language & Clean Language Systemic Modelling (https://cleanlearning.co.uk/) “From Contempt to Curiosity: Creating the Conditions for Groups to Collaborate Using Clean Language and Systemic Modelling” by Caitlin Walker Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSITM)  “Creating Intelligent Teams: Leading with Relationship Systems Intelligence” by Anne Rød and Marita Fridjhon You can learn more about this series of episodes by visiting www.womeninagile.org/cat.    The Women in Agile community champions inclusion and diversity of thought, regardless of gender, and this podcast is a platform to share new voices and stories with the Agile community and the business world, because we believe that everyone is better off when more, diverse ideas are shared.

If you would love to really connect with your kids on a deeper level, but you're battling to keep your head above water with the daily demands of life as a single mom or dad, listen in today and find out how you can adopt a new and more effective approach to parenting.   Today's guest, Julie King is co-author of the book How To Talk So Your Little Kids Will Listen. After completing Law School and having had her first child, Julie became aware of how people were talking to their children and realized that most people knew nothing of the approach to child rearing that she, herself had been raised with. When her daughter was in pre-school and Julie was studying Group Facilitation and Group Development, she offered to read a workshop-style book on child rearing to a parent group at the school. Due to the demand from the parents attending this group, it continued way beyond the initial eight week period and eventually turned into an ongoing support group for the next four and a half years! Other people heard about it, so Julie was asked to facilitate other groups and this is how Julie found herself involved with something fantastic, that she had not planned on doing. Listen in and find out how Julie conferred with her old friend Joanna Faber, who was doing similar work on the East Coast and how they ended up writing a book together. You're going to find this conversation really helpful!

The influence that Adele Faber had on Julie's life. What motivated Julie and Joanna to write their book. How challenging it can be to be a mom 24/7. How her book can help parents to deal with their child's emotions- and their own. The connection between how kids feel and how they behave. How our intuition can lead us astray. The challenge of responding to negative behavior in the moment. The general orientation of her approach. How to encourage cooperation in your kids that's respectful and realistic- and gets them out the door in the mornings! Kids don't like being told what to do. Problem-solving with your kids. Her advice to parents who get angry, or battle to remain calm and think creatively in the moment. How we all need time to work anger out of our bodies. How to deal with your kid's sibling rivalry.

A couple of weeks ago I was running the first visual facilitation garage. This advanced workshop has been around in Europe for a while and now we start this advanced class for people who have participated in the fundamentals class in Australia as well. When you start something new, you start something small and so Keith Greaves attended as the only attendee at the first visual facilitation garage in Melbourne in May. Keith and I had a great time together working in the garage. We had 4 hours of intensive learning together and we both learnt from each other. So I thought we share our conversation over those four hours in an interview with you. Let me introduce Keith Greaves in a couple of sentences. He grew up in Ireland and worked in several very interesting countries including Azerbaijan and Syria. Today Keith lives with this family in Melbourne running two companies: Chit Chat and Mosaic Lab. Mosaic Lab is a company that facilitates big groups and creates spaces for c0-creating and collaboration. He sets up workshops for 80-300 people to bring people together from all parts of the societies and brings people together to collaborate. Keith puts a lot of this energy into preparing those venues and you will learn in this podcast how he does it. What really hit me when listening to Keith was his passion for public participation following the core values of IAP2. He makes a difference in the world by improving our democracy. Our democracy is based on a the idea of a majority. A 50% majority is good but imagine you had a co-created law proposal for the prime minister that bases on a super majority of 80%. Now let me pass on the microphone to Keith Greaves from MosaicLab listening to this story!

The model of group psychotherapy developed by Irvin Yalom is now considered the 'gold standard' of group therapy approaches throughout the world. Its focus on the interpersonal relationships and the process underlying them allows the group to become a powerful agent of change.  For many therapists, adding group therapy to your suite of services is a wonderful way to augment your practice, as well as provide valuable growth experiences for your clients. However it's essential that you complete specific training in group therapy as the skills required are different from the skills of individual or couple therapy. June Lake is the leading teacher in Australia of the Yalom group psychotherapy approach and speaks with Australia Counselling about this powerful and effective type of therapy. In this 30-minute interview June also shares how her passion for working with groups came about, how the skills we use in the therapy room different from group facilitation skills, a brief overview of the Yalom group psychotherapy approach, the qualities of an effective group facilitator, specific skills group facilitators need to develop to be effective, the most common mistakes new group facilitators tend to make and June also speaks about her 5-day intensive Yalom group therapy facilitation training that she runs every year.
