30 August 2011

Clooney Hall, Derry/Londonderry 9th-10th November 2011 This unique programme is for those individuals who, through their work and activities, are directly involved in working to make their communities better places to live.

This program is not about negotiating, resolving conflicts, solving problems, or coming up with answers. Instead, it is designed to empower people in their relationship to their communities, giving them a new power and new tools to make their communities the places they want them to be

The workshop is designed to shift the common experience of a lack of connection or a lack of power within a community into the experience of having real power to make things happen and a central role to play in creating the future.  It does this by asking participants to question and explore their assumptions and ways of thinking about community and by giving them access to new possibilities with which they can reclaim their power and create the communities they desire.
Many of us feel that our community is at a critical crossroads. The decisions we make and conversations we have today could well shape our community for generations to come. We hope you will join us for this important opportunity.  We value your input and participation.

The cost of the workshop is £50, and we ask you to attend all sessions of the workshop, which will run from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day. Lunch will be provided both days. Thanks in advance for your consideration. 

The course will be facilitated by the Mastery Foundation.

Promise of this program:

We will gain access to our own power to create a new future for ourselves and our communities—the kind of future that is not merely an extension of the past, but rather a future of our own creation. 

During our two days together we will:

·      reveal the nature of our power as human beings, and what is in the way of our accessing it

·      transform our relationship to community – that is to our ideas about community and to what we see as possible for our community

·      examine what is already in our future and how it came to be that way

·      gain access to the kind of speaking and listening that creates new possibilities and new results

·      practice standing for what we say is possible for ourselves and for our community

·      recognize the gifts each of us brings to our community
