Continuity
The secret to success is to create continuity of any type of practice. In our online program, you will work on your project regularly for six weeks, with facilitated online sessions, peer coaching, take-home tasks and daily optional meditation. You will get the opportunity to experience the benefits of mind training, a supportive community, safe space and vulnerability as you go through our future design process. It will help you to settle your mind, clarify your intentions and find the courage to set things in motion towards a meaningful future.
Workshops
Each session starts with a meditation. We continue by reflecting on the previous week. After this, we focus on the topic of the day and go through exercises and work by ourselves and in breakout groups. The session ends with homework instructions and a Q&A to equip you with all the necessary materials for your work until our next online get-together. Later in the week, you will check in with your peer coaching groups, share insights, challenges and support.
Methodology
Inner Island is a rare investment in yourself where you get the opportunity to identify and put the spotlight on the key challenges that are limiting you to rise above what you thought was possible.
Our methodologies come from transformation design, proactive planning, appreciative inquiry, strategy development, peer coaching and guided mindfulness meditation. We combine viable methods from cutting edge business contexts with ancient wisdom practices.
We believe that a diverse set of modalities and methodology is key to disrupt the thinking process and help gain new and unexpected perspectives that can lead to insight. The combination creates a holistic future design workshop to supercharge your development.
MethodologyIntention
Previous participants have worked with deeply personal challenges as well as career-oriented ones such as:
- How can I create space to build more meaningful relations?
- How can I get clarity about setting up my business to make it enjoyable to run, valuable for others as well as profitable?
- How can I overcome the mental block preventing me from moving forward?
- How can I be a healthy leader in my new challenging position?
- Who do I want to be now? How can I re-invent myself?
- How can I develop my company so that it can grow without me?
By clearing up and sharpen their intentions the participants understand how to overcome their challenges, reflecting and working with methods to understand:
- Where do I come from and what created my earlier flow and successes?
- What are my current situation and opportunities?
- What are the challenges that if solved would give the biggest positive impact on my life and the world?
- What do I envision and what would be a meaningful direction for me?
- What are the values that will support me to reach my vision?
- What are the strategies, plans and actions I need to take to reach my goals?
The Future design process
The program is built with a red thread from A-Z so you can experience a progression in your development and have tangible outcomes, such as an overall vision, strategy, guiding values and action plans.
MethodologyMindfulness
In an agitated and reactive mind our outlook is coloured by these mind states and produces mostly ideas with unconstructive qualities. Inner Island gives you the opportunity to settle the mind so that your ideas can come from a place of calmness and wisdom instead of a place of noise and distress.
The Inner Island methodology is based on research in behaviour change, transformation, mindfulness and yogic science for people to accelerate their own personal growth but also includes how they can contribute to the bigger picture.
Community
The Inner Island program is a combination of individual work, peer group support and whole group sharing.
During the retreat, participants are matchmaked into peer-coaching groups supporting each other, finding new perspectives to their challenges and future direction.
