Taught by our colleague and friend, Steve March, thirdspace is delighted to bring an introduction to Aletheia Coaching to the UK for the first time. 

The method of Aletheia Coaching is based on an understanding of the depth of our being and becoming. To say this another way, our life occurs and unfolds through space, time, and depth. In Aletheia, we work with four depths:

1. Parts - the separate parts of us that are hurt and parts that attempt to protect us from being hurt again
2. Process - the experiential flow of bodily felt senses and imaginal felt images that give texture and directionality to our unfoldment
3. Presence/Absence - our innate Wholeness, expressed in a kaleidoscope of qualities such as abundance, acceptance, bliss, care, compassion, creativity, equanimity, generosity, gnosis, humility, integrity, joy, kindness, love, openness, passion, peace, pleasure, sincerity, strength, trust, and much more. This Depth is the source of our profound and innate resourcefulness.
4. Nonduality - the inherent Unity of the ground of Being and Becoming. This Depth is the source of innate creativity and ultimate freedom.

The methods for micro-development are different at each depth. Therefore, Aletheia Coaching integrates Parts Work, Process Work, Presence Work, and Nondual Work into a seamless integral method that addresses each depth skillfully.

Logistics

The fully residential course will take place from Thursday 1 - Sunday 4 March 2018 and be held at the beautiful Iken Barns near Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.  The location will provide the perfect retreat space for us to learn together.

This class offers an introduction to Aletheia meta-psychology and the practice of Aletheia Parts Work, Process Work, and Presence Work. We will explore and learn through experiential exercises, lectures on theory, somatic practices, guided meditations, demonstrations, and your own coaching. You will leave the class with new coaching skills that you can put into practice immediately.

Some of the topics covered in this class are:

• Distinguishing self-improvement from self-unfoldment
• How is “micro-development” different from “development?"
• Holding a heart in your hands - creating a profoundly safe environment for unfolding
• Practicing the paradox of unfolding through “letting be”
• Following the golden thread of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness that guides us ever deeper
• Working with strong emotions and reactions
• Dissolving defenses through radical acceptance, love, and compassion
• Creating more freedom from the inner critic
• Working with inner conflict and dilemmas
• Opening to and including “otherness,” that of others and ourselves
• Sensitizing and illuminating the body
• Including embodied and imaginal experience in coaching conversations
• Esoteric anatomy of the body, heart, and mind through the Four Depths
• Unfolding the kaleidoscope of Presence
• Deepening our capacity to be-with anything and everything
• Cultivating the radiance of self-awareness
• Unfolding the “more” that everything is
• Unfolding as a path of individuation
