Journey of Regeneration - with Kosha Joubert (now available "self-paced")

About the course

Overview

The Journey of Regeneration – for inner and outer transformation

This workshop invites you to a personal exploration of the potential for true transformation that lies at the heart of our times. Are we going to return to ‘business as usual’? Or might we lift our hearts, take courage and reach for a new way of being – initiating and manifesting evolutionary shifts within and without?

We use the nine Stepping Stones of the Journey of Regeneration to guide us as we (1) answer the call, clarifying our unique contribution at this time; (2) draw the map and foster alliances for our journey; (3) engage the circles, embracing diversity and cultivating compassion; (4) explore the landscapes in preparation of daring to act; (5) face our premonitions and fears of the resistance we might face in doing so; (6) but also open to the possibility of the unexpected miracle; (7) so that we can mature on the path; and (8) share our gifts and celebrate with beauty. Finally, (9) we will come home to ourselves to rest in spaciousness and initiate our next steps from the future, rather than the past.

This thread provides each of us with a personal experience of the journey, and replicable inspirations and tools for how to build and sustain teams and communities as we respond courageously within our ever-changing world.

This workshop is for you, if you want to:

  • Inspire lasting inner and outer change and transformation
  • Increase your personal clarity, courage and resilience
  • Meet yourself as a team player and community builder
  • Become more able to meet challenge, learn from failure and celebrate success
  • Bring valuable tools and practices to your project, group or community
  • Weave your learning journey with an international group of participants – while the live portion has finished, there are still opportunities to comment on the content and read insights from others.

This workshop will cover:

  • 3 video recordings of sessions with experienced facilitator, Kosha Joubert and sharings from other workshop participants;
  • Introduction to the 9 Stepping Stones;
  • Inspirations and practices for each Stepping Stone;
  • Further study materials and handouts as well as background info on GEN
  • 5 interviews from the Online Summit

Frequently asked questions

I’ve just arrived here, where should I start?

If you are just getting to know GEN, we recommend you start with the GEN Intro course which will give you the frame of how the network and organisation flow.

A live course will be offered at set times and invites you to engage with a facilitator and other participants. A self-paced course means you can engage in the content as your schedule allows. We also offer courses where you engage in the content yourself and then join gently facilitated group discussions to connect with others.

Visit the Community Events page to see what is available or contact your region.

No! We strive to serve a range of audiences and believe that ecovillage tools can be applied in a range of contexts.

Sometimes. We operate on keeping course fees as low as possible while paying our collaborators fairly. When the essential costs are covered, we can sometimes offer scholarships. Contact Us

We would be happy to consider it. Please send a proposal via our contact form. Be sure to include your background on the topic (length of experience and in which contexts), where you have offered the course previously, and your suggested format (live, self paced, pricing etc.)
