Hi all,
Hope the embodied leadership experience is continuing to unfurl nicely for everyone.
We have now confirmed that Wendy is coming to Ireland in early July and will be running a residential workshop in the beautiful West from July 8 to 10.…
Hey all,
I've been quiet because I haven't had much to say, but my thoughts are with you all - especially you lucky ones going to Wendy's course in London next month. Meanwhile, I'm uploading an image of folk's qualities…
Hello all
Congratulations on changing your quality Chris...an inspiration and a "permission"...I look forward to seeing your shiny!
I am just re-entering the regular world after my Pause for Breath retreat - thank you so much for your…
Hi everyone
I wanted to share a couple of developments
(i) Arawana Hayashi ran a workshop for about 20 of us in Dublin yesterday on 'Embodied Presence and Theory U' - a really good complement for me to Wendy's module and lovely to…
Dear All
I want to share a story from a coach and facilitator with whom I work in a supervisory capacity...it's an example of what dialogue practitioners call "affecting the field" - the magic that starts to happen when a practice is…
Dear all,
Finally I am here, on this website, reading all your threads. It brings back memories of Wendy´s workshop . Good memories of you all and of teachings that I had forgotten. Ursula and I met a couple of days ago and started to go…
Hey Anouk,
I was blessed with two new students this week (doubling the size of my adult class, hooray!).
They have already proved far more thought-provoking than my other students, because they appear to see this martial art as a way of…
Hi all,
Thanks for the email nudges I received from some of you to remember my "noble, awesome, shiny"; much appreciated!
So all of you reading this, this is a good time to remember your "nobleawesomeshiny-ness" :-)
I just love…
Here are some thoughts on Power and Love from a Conscious Embodiment perspective
Inclusiveness – Love – is the basis of empowerment – Power
Belly – Power to act
Heart – Love, Inclusiveness
Head – When and How to…
Dear All
I have been thinking about power and love and all that has been said so far...
The challenge for me is that both power and love are words that I shy away from...I shy away from the word power because of it's shadow side...power over,…
Dear people,
I was so happy to come across this thread. I took Wendy's module last summer in Halifax and this is a perfect time to be reminded of the subtleties of the practice which I had forgotten. Thank you for your reflections.
I want to…
Hello again
How lovely that you will be in London too Anouk...and Michele is coming too I think...so that is at least four of us with Beth. Any other takes for a mini reunion and deeper practice?
My health and stamina have finally returned…
I'm loving this thread!
So, what I decided to do today was integrate the centering into my working life - which is not consistently in one place as I travel around consulting with the different charities I work for and between my south London…
@Anouk "courageous followers and connected leaders" - that's brilliant!
And, in my experience, that's Aikido. By following, I am choosing to give my body to the leader to work with, and sometimes I need real courage to do that.…

I am playing with Adam’s Power and Love theme in preparation for the module we will be giving in Halifax. The inquiry is: How can I be a little more Powerful and a Little more Loving? The power seems to show up in my belly and…
Anouk, Thank you for initiating this thread. I finally have time to join in the conversation - it is inspiring to be part of a community engaged in appreciation of spirit and practice.
Some suggestions for remembering to center are: have a photo(s)…
Please share something about yourself, your work, and what draws you to the ALIA community.
I am fascinated by the inside of evolution, the development of consciousness. Facilitating the emergence of integrally inspired leadership for sustainability.

Delighted to be asked to be your friend...just back from hosting my inaugural "Pause for Breath" retreat...quietly elated to be part of such profound work...see you in April. Ax
Wow! Teaching intuitive intelligence at a university -- I love it
I met Alain at the ALIA conference in Halifax in June 2009. We have a common interest in chaordic organizations.
I visited my daughter in Delft in August 2008 -- she was doing a work term there during her studies. I very much enjoyed my small tour of a few cities in the Netherlands.
I work as a consultant here in Ottawa. My specialty is Balanced Scorecard, an organizational performance management/measurement system. However, I combine this with methodologies such as Appreciative Inquiry, Theory U, World Cafe, etc. Balanced Scorecard alone can become quite heavy.
The quality I am working on is "presence." The intention is "to nurture mindfulness in my children and young people." When we did the advocacy work I drag my feet when it is only for my own children and rush too far and too fast when it is for my students and young people. By working with James and Amanda I discovered the balance came when both elements were present...I trust we will continue to support and nurture one another.
Great meeting you as well. Having GREAT success working from center with myself and with my clients. Remind me of your quality and perhaps I can send you cue from time to time. presently, Zachary
