This message, in some form, is one Ted has heard from more than a few people he has had the privilege of listening to. “I can tell you what I believe, I can tell you what I do, I can tell you the various roles I play, and yet, I know deep down, I am more than those things…much more. I just couldn’t tell you for sure, what that is.”
A term often used for this phenomenon is, “Imposter Syndrome”. This workshop is designed to directly address this unsettling undercurrent that many of us experience and help us rediscover our oft-neglected authentic selves.
Through a variety of nature-infused, interactive, personal and group activities, attendees will be invited to learn how to better embrace and nurture their unique selves.
Sometimes losing touch with our authentic selves (or never remembering ever being in touch with them) manifests itself in a vague gnawing dissatisfaction with “how things are.” What used to be great, isn’t so much anymore. Though we tell ourselves that we should be happy, content and satisfied, we find ourselves restless and out of sorts. Our lives feel like a once well-fitting favorite coat that now chaffs us; we have unexpectedly outgrown it. We find we have to put aside too much of ourselves as we go about our daily life. Quantum physics suggests that the universe is expanding, and since we are a part of that universe, we are expanding too.
Whenever circumstances allow, participants will have an opportunity to be with Ted in a natural setting.
Join us for this grand adventure and be amazed at who you discover yourself to be with others who are on that same quest.
Why is living authentically important? The more we discover our true nature, the less dissonance there is between what we do, how we enact the roles we play, and what we believe. This place of congruency is where peace, grace and a general contentment with our lives reside. We are no longer at war with these aspects of ourselves. The bonus is that we are also more at peace with the world we live in. It has been suggested that the best gift we can ever give to our world is to make peace with who we are. Unfortunately, the internal war we carry is a gift we hand down to the next generation(s) to fight.
Research from Columbia University suggests that there are 3 transition points where an existential crisis is relatively predictable. Late adolescence, midlife and ascent into elderhood are all points where we are called to examine or re-examine who we really are…to redefine our Authentic Selves.
Research also affirms that exploration of the authentic self is enhanced by 3 experiential factors: a cohort of fellow explorers, exposure to the natural world, and your unique process of discovering your authenticity.
