Midlife and beyond is about matters of spirit, mission, and culture. It is different than other life transitions because it has as its core elements the search for one's authentic Self and one's unique mission and purpose. The soul cries out for the creative life.
In this 4-session workshop, we will access your creativity and work with active imagination to assist you in reviewing your journey to individuation. This is an opportunity to enlist the transcendent function completing a creative project each session. NO ART EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
We will work with concepts such as:
Each session will address a different aspect of the search. We will review your life successes/life journey, finish some stories from the past, and dream and plan for the future. You might design a plan to make your current job more meaningful, identify what you want to do next and begin a plan to get there, or complete some unfinished business and get some balance back in your life. Some might be working toward one goal for midlife which is to get a better balance between being and doingmoving toward embracing the tension of the opposites.
For the workshop agenda, see "Agenda for Jane Neubauer Workshop" in the Winter 2004 Inside Pages (.pdf) newsletter.
Jane Neubauer, RN, MSN, works with several Puget Sound organizations providing leadership development, group coaching, team building and strategy development. She does coaching and works with small groups at the retreat site on Vashon Island. For twenty years Jane was involved in nursing leadership, senior management and university education in the United States health care system at the Universities of Wyoming, Colorado, Cincinnati, and Mercy Medical Center, in Denver. She has a Masters Degree from the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco and has published on use of arts in personal development, the mid-life journey, health care systems, change and leadership. Jane also continues her work in Europe as a facilitator of leadership development. As she supports others on their work and life journeys, Jane daily strives to attain balance in her own life through support of the arts, work with ecological issues, and enjoying her new island lifeall the while learning on her own journey trying to be as well as do.
The design of the Creative Leadership Retreat reflects Jane Neubauer's in- depth study and work with creative visioning processes and 20 years' experience in senior management and university education. During her study at the Institute for Art in Therapy and Education in London, England, Jane's decision to move to the Pacific Northwest emerged as a result of the use of painting, sculpting, sand tray and music to identify her vision and strategy. Jane moved to London in the early 90's taking the risk of leaving a respected executive job to work at the King's Fund College management consultancy in London. Jane learned the European approach to self-development, reflective practice, and action learning; and studied and worked with the arts, incorporating play and body work.
