How ‘Journeying In Place’ Works
The Key Concept is the Ensemble:
We do things for ourselves but we do not necessarily do things by ourselves.
- One’s personal journey is happening alongside the adventures and encounters that others are also taking.
- Each person’s journey influences everyone else’s, allowing the rising tide to lift all boats in the sea.
- Each person has opportunities to either cross paths with others on live broadcasts, or in meet up “Ally Groups” led by a HJ Guide.
This is an opportunity to learn about developing a resilient sense of self, or an identity, that is shaped more by the connection to the others in the small group, and less by the more typical, isolating and solitary nature of one’s most habitual thinking.
We are moved and taken forward by Six Challenges or Tasks, which we are naming as ‘Reaches‘:
By saying ‘Yes!’ to the challenges or tasks placed before us we create an ignition for movement forward in our lives.
By creating movement through our own initiatives, we are better positioned to receive the Unexpected.
- ‘Reaches’ are intended to open and stretch ourselves in small ways, but in ways we would not typically tend to do on our own.
- ‘Reaches’ position us, in a mysterious way, for things to happen that would not typically happen, without the reach.
- Participants gather on either Wednesday or Saturday (or both) of a Reach Session for a group broadcast taught by Michael Mervosh (Session Dates and Times found here: http://ensemblehero.org/datestimes/)
- Participants can also meet up with small groups to check in about how their reach is happening in a more personal way.
- The web course is supported by an app, where you’ll receive connection, support, and suggestions for deepening the impact of the reaches in your life.
