Description
Description: Change can feel like exile, collapse, or an unexpected invitation. In this experiential workshop, Borysenko weaves Viktor Frankl, anthropology, archetypal psychology, and mindfulness into a practical framework for navigating “the place between no longer and not yet.” Through meditation, inquiry, and dialogue, participants explore resilience, trust, and the inner resources that allow loss to become transformation rather than despair.
Syllabus Description: Change is a three-part rite of passage: separation from the known; wandering in the wilderness; and the return transformed. The second stage is hardest to navigate, often interrupted by the premature need for closure. A specific skill set including inquiry, mindfulness, curiosity and stillness provides essential competencies for moving through change.
Educational Objectives:
- Given a client, describe the change process as a three-part rite of passage.
- To list five positive coping skills for the liminal stage of "wandering in the wilderness" of the unknown.
