European Tour III: Day 4 – It can’t get better
Day 4, Thursday, June 24, 2015
The first day of the Understanding the Deeper Realms of One-on-One Work training retreat was a success. The highlight was when I used myself and my own situation as a guinea pig and asked people, “If I came to you devastated and in despair about what happened to me losing the love of my life, what would you say to me as a counselor or coach?”
People were all over the map. No one at first gave me love, comfort, soothing and understanding, which is what I really needed at first to be able to hear any of the other good things people had to say. I was able to switch in and out of roles of being the client and being the “supervisor” stepping outside the process, commenting on the coaching or counseling that came my way.
There is such a difference when people say things out of deep listening and that deep connection, and when people say things they think are supposed to be said in Three Principles work.
We did a lot of deep listening practice. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.
I LOVE Greece! The feeling here and the beauty are spectacular. We are in a retreat format so we met at 10:00 in the morning and took the afternoon off, where we went to the beach and I took my ½ hour swim in the gorgeous Mediterranean. Then we met again in the evening and had dinner together. This is definitely the way to go. Claire’s husband summed it up best when he said, “It can’t get better than this!” I can feel healing taking place.
