The Spirit of Joy Programme
 |
If you believe that you are fulfilling
your true potential, whatever that means to you, you can stop reading
now, because this programme is not for you. If on the other hand
you have a sense or feeling that much of your potential remains
untapped, perhaps even out of your reach, you should give serious
consideration to The Spirit of Joy Programme.
We have been facilitating developmental programmes specifically
designed to help people connect with and begin to realize much more
of their natural potential since 1982. Over the intervening years
we have worked with thousands of people, most of whom have been
professionals of one sort or another. All this time we actually
thought that we were teaching and facilitating them to become better
leaders, executives, managers, facilitators, therapists, educators,
group leaders and coaches. But one day we woke up and realized that
most of the feedback we were getting from our workshop participants
was along the lines of - the insight, learning and awareness I am
getting from this programme has helped me in every part of my life,
personal as well as professional, the programme is helping me to
be the way I want to be!
Workshop participants have told us that our programmes have saved
their lives, by way of helping them to reduce the stressors in their
lives. By helping them to understand and become aware of why they
behave in the ways that they do, they have become able to change
their behaviour to get more of what they want from life. By helping
them to become aware of and to reduce their defensiveness, they
have improved their relationships with others. As a result of all
this, they have enhanced their self respect, their self esteem and
their concept of who they really are. This in turn has resulted
in increased self confidence and has restored their zest and joy
for life.
The Spirit of Joy is not simply a programme to help you to achieve
more, although it can certainly do that. The programme uses FIRO
Theory to enable you to become truly aware of who you really are.
It will enable you to understand the mechanisms and structures you
have created throughout your life for holding your self back which
diminish and limit your potential. Over the three days of the programme
you will experience an amazing transformation of your self image,
your perceptions of yourself, and of others and you will begin to
tap into your fuller potential.
“Joy is the feeling we experience as we realise our potential.
This feeling is particularly noticeable when we are using some aspect
of our selves that we have not used previously or that we have not
used with satisfaction. The skills we learned as a child are a good
example: the glee of our first step, the pride of learning to read
or to ride a bicycle. The same feelings follow us through life as
we acquire skills at sports, expressing our love for others, mathematics,
languages, dancing, wine-tasting, sound discrimination and car driving.
Physical and emotional blocks inhibit our opportunity to experience
our potential. Unresolved life experiences alter our body musculature,
the patterns in our nervous system and the quality of our breathing.
The earlier the life experience, the deeper in our body is the aberration.
The inhibitions to realizing our potential for Joy are eliminated
most effectively and permanently when we deal with these blocks.”
