Our Mission

To surround ourselves with open, embodied, adventurous friends -- that are committed to having fun while evolving and growing themselves and thereby the world around them.  We create juicy community events where we practice deeply expressing and integrating all parts of ourselves.

Our Standards

• Taking responsibility for communicating our Yes's and No's.

• Choosing ultimate responsibility for our life and our emotional experiences.

Our Norms

When we attend a WholeBody Wisdom event, it is with the understanding that we're entering an "Integral Third-Stage Dojo."  A place to practice being more open, loving, powerful and free -- in the face of real world challenges.

To create the container for the Third-Stage Dojo -- we all agree to do our best to embrace these norms while at WholeBody Wisdom events:

• Growth, Openness, and Risk Taking vs. Therapy, Healing, or "Safety"

• Enlightened Self-Interest -- not Self-Sacrifice

• We're all Students, Teachers, Followers, and Leaders

• Powerfully effective Emotional Expression & Integration  [There are no "bad" emotions -- only ways of expressing, suppressing or denying emotions that can have harmful consequences.]

• Third-Stage: Embodied Coaching and Heart-Connected Feedback.   "Feedback is the breakfast of champions."
  -- Ken Blanchard

• Openness of Mind, Heart, and Body
