Community News – January/February 2022

January 24, 2022 By marc Leave a Comment

Community News Roundup – January/February 2022

  • Jason Digges and Gabe DeRita are offering a 10-week business accelerator for AR leaders called Empowered Offerings. This is for you if you are an emerging AR leader looking to have an impact and increase your income. And the price is right ($850 through Feb. 11).
  • Authentic Revolution is launching the next iteration of The Authentic Facilitator on March 21, 2022. This is (I believe) the 4th or 5th iteration of this course and it keeps on getting better. In addition to Jason and Gabe’s course (above), this is THE training to take if you want to get traction in an AR-related career. Their flagship Authentic Life course (3 levels) continues, of course, and they have now added a 4th level called Mastermind.
  • The Circling Institute has a new baby! (I mean a real one, produced by Guy & Breann rather than the Circling Institute, exactly). The other cool babies are a new workshop, Dia-Logos & The Circling Method, which is inspired by John Vervake’s Awakening from the Meaning Crisis ; and another Sovereign Weekend coming up Jan. 29.
  • ART International is cranking, as usual, with ongoing Authentic Leadership Program offerings (Feb. 22 and March 3 start dates); new courses The ART of the Authentic Woman (April 20) and The ART of the Authentic Man (Feb. 28 — soon!), and intensives all over the world (including one in Guatemala that I just missed! See below).

Reminder, that if you have offers you want the community to know, just write to me before the 1st of the month for inclusion in the newsletter (that would be March 1st as I am a bit late in producing this newsletter)

Personal news: I am moving to Guatemala! And a new video on Relational Leadership

I am firing on all cylinders as well. The committed Circling Mastermind groups have been very powerful, and we are doing free intros most Thursdays at 2pm Eastern now (check our calendar for details). I am also moving to Guatemala! That story told on my personal blog, From Little House on the Prairie to Guatemala.

AND, I just finished a new video, Relational leadership, developmental trauma and characterology. The production quality is not great but I am very proud of this video, as I think I am demonstrating the Authentic Relating process even as I speak about it (i.e. intense vulnerability, especially when I speak about the challenges of my own characterology). Let me know if you like it.

Enjoy this post? Then be audacious and share or like!
