Finding your Role in the Living World

Summary

Knowing that we’re contributing fully to community, society and/or planetary well-being is deeply rewarding. We all have our part to play. Each person’s vocation is unique, and stems from our passions, our innate skills and our values as well as the life experience we’ve acquired.When we’re living our vocation we can feel truly alive and fulfilled; but sometimes knowing our vocation and finding ways to live it can present a challenge in today’s world.

There’ll be a mixture of whole group discussion and small group work, time for individual reflection, creative ways of exploring and the option for a 1:1 with Gill. We’ll spend time in the hotel with its wonderful inspiring views, and wherever the weather permits we’ll ‘ground’ our experience through exploring the farm surrounding the hotel. There will also be at least one bigger walk in the neighbouring mountains.

Gill Coombs has over ten years’ experience working with organisation and individuals, and to her great joy has found her own vocation, which includes supporting others in finding theirs! On this workshop she will be exploring vocational archetypes and looking at how in community, as in all healthy eco-systems, there is potentially a ‘niche’ for everyone.
