Towards a Meaningful Life Workshops
A two day workshop which explores what it means for us to lead a meaningful life .This is an opportunity to take some time out for yourself and reflect on what it means to be you: where you have been in your life, where you are now, where are you trying to get to and what gives you a sense of a meaningful life.
What are we trying to create with this experience…
Quite simply, an environment where people can explore their own challenges and dilemmas and widen their perspectives on themselves and their world. With this experience we hope to help you understand a bit more about you – and in particular to help you find a way forward in determining what can make life meaningful for you.
Who attends?
Simply put, this workshop is open to anyone who wants the time to take stock of themselves and what’s going on with their lives. We have found that this workshop really works for people who may be questioning where they are going in their personal and professional lives, either because they have come to some sort of crossroads in their lives, or they are coming to terms with a significant life change,- or simply because they most need just some time out to figure out what is important to them. This is an opportunity therefore to take stock, reflect on what is really important, and explore ways of moving forward. During the weekend we will explore with you: - the beliefs, values and insights that you understand about yourself, where they came from, and how they are helping or hindering you now - what brings you alive and makes you great about who you are and what you do - what limits you and how to acknowledge and work with those limitations |

Location:
For these workshops, we will be working in my home in Dorking, Surrey. Whilst not set up as a setting for more traditional programmes, it is cosy, snug , in the middle of nowhere, and perfect for a bit of get-away-from-it-all reflection and planning. It is situated on the National Trust site of Holmwood Common, and has plenty of opportunity for a few gentle walks if weather - and intention - allows.
Fees:
£130 plus VAT, inclusive of refreshments and catering during the two days.
Paul arranging a task to make participants think about what is important to them Your facilitators: Paul Swift. Paul is an experienced leadership development coach and consultant with a considerable number of years spent working with people in both private and public sector companies in the UK. For most of his career he has been interested in helping people understand themselves better and make more informed choices about what they want to realise for themselves, in their lives at work, and in their lives out of work. Paul is also a psychotherapist and work with clients privately in his home and in London. His way of working is influenced primarily by existential philosophy: Paul believes this to be the most honest way of working with people and it underpins how he operates as both a coach and a therapist. 
Dan Geoghegan. Dan is a highly qualified personal trainer who will be working with Paul during these workshops on helping participants to undertake some (reasonably mild) active exercises that helps to bring mind and body together. Dan runs his own business in personal training, and works with clients not only in terms of improved physical fitness but also in terms of overall health and well being. His focus on these workshops will be on both providing exercises that help us connect with ourselves physically as well as giving us a sense of what we might need to do to improve our approach to our own well being.
