Brandon Bays, Founder of 'The Journey'.
When you join any of the Graceful Change workshops, you will be working with a small group of people in a supportive environment. Whichever workshop you decide to do first, you will share and experience a profound adventure of self-discovery, learning, growing, letting go and blossoming of your true potential. Many resit again and again to gain fresh insights and fresh resourcefulness.
1. Graceful Change (2 days)
This
is the foundation stone of all the workshops available to you. This is
because it includes crucial and powerful change skills. It is the
workshop that is offered first whenever a new venue in a new regional
programme is begun. For this reason it has it's own special page. Click

weekend.
2. Graceful Inner Strength (2 days)
Our
inner strength can be sometimes fragile in times of change. Our past
experiences, our sense of self, our belief systems and how we
communicate with ourselves can all cause our true inner strength to go up or down
at any time. For example, most of us have a little voice inside who can
find a thousand excuses for not living our truth or following our
dreams. This workshop helps you let go such negative thinking and
limiting beliefs, equip you to handle your 'demon doubts' and learn to
positively review your past and look ahead. This helps you feel more
confident and ready to handle the present and enjoy a better future.
3. Graceful Assertiveness (2 days)
This
workshop focuses on helping you explore assertiveness in everyday life
situations. Most people can be assertive some of the time. Sometimes,
our 'buttons' get pushed and we behave very differently. Aggressive or
submissive behaviour can automatically take over and harm our
relationships - even with those closest to us. This workshop helps you
identify what has put these patterns in place and make the changes you
would love to make. It also helps you explore what it really means to
assert your True Self in all aspects of your life.
4. Graceful Creativity (2 days)
There
is a saying, 'if we do what we have always done, we cannot be surprised
if we get what we have always got'. This fun workshop helps you
playfully tap into your creativity and open up a whole wealth of fresh
possibility. This gives you the chance to develop fresh ideas to move
yourself forward and create a new, inspiring vision for your life.
5. Graceful Decision making (2 days).
Most
of us are never taught how to make crucial decisions. Many of us
consequently procrastinate, over-rely on others or avoid 'big decisions
altogether. Fear and doubt may cause us to be over cautious and we miss
out on a great opportunity. Sometimes we jump to conclusions and dive in
without thinking. Sometimes we can sacrifice integrity and Truth in our
decision making. This workshop focuses on helping you explore your own
decision making patterns. It gives you the opportunity to clear any
liming beliefs around decison making, feel more empowered and be more
decisive.
6. Graceful Relationships.
A golden chance to take stock and explore your relationship to yourself, those closest to you and to the world.
7. Graceful Deepening (2 days)
This
weekend allows the opportunity for people to bring deeper awareness to
themes they have already covered. It also provides an opprtunity to meet
whatever arises spontaneously in the moment. It is run along the lines
of a mini-retreat.
8. Graceful Teamwork and Leadership (2 days)
These
are core skills for the 21st Century. A team consists of two or more
people. Therefore two people in a relationship constitutes a team.
Similarly a family is a team. Often a parent needs to take the lead.
Sometimes we are called upon to take a leadership role in a leisure or
voluntary capacity. Sometimes it is in a business capacity. Whatever the
circumstance, the same effective principles and approach applies. This
workshop focuses on helping you nurture teamwork and leadership skills
for any environment.
9. Graceful Presentation Skills (2 days)
A
survey was done in which it was discovered that many people are more
afraid of public speaking than they are of death. This workshops gives
you tricks of the trade for giving a presentation. This may be a
'wedding speach', a voluntary group or commuinty appeal or a business
presentation. We also look at the role fo fear and doubt and do
exercises aimed at letting go limiting beliefs around standing up in
front of people and speaking your truth from a place of confidence.
10. The Graceful Retreat (4 days).
This
is an opportunity for you to enjoy the benefits of a full retreat. It
is for those who feel deeply drawn to dive in at the deepest level and
have a strong desire to live life in deepening alignment to their True
Self. It involves periods of deep reflection as well as deep insight.
Each retreat has its own theme. This is chosen at the time of
organising.
Please note: So that you can get the most out of the retreat, you are strongly advised to do at least a 2 day workshops before attending.
Fee structure
With
the exception of the retreat, all the other workshops offered will
follow similar fees to workshop 1. The retreat fees will be announced at
the time of posting the details to those eligible to attend. This is to
allow for venue variations. Further details of these are supplied upon
request.
