Isn't it time for more?
These days there are so many competing voices, so many ways you get asked to fit in with the crowd. With all the urgent issues in the world and in your life asking for attention, it can be a challenge to remember that freedom is a choice. Freedom begins with you. Practicing your own freedom can ignite great change in yourself and in the world.
Is it time to create more FREEDOM in your life?
In 2018 we launched our first online offering, IMAGINE. A worldwide community joined us and supported each other to create their best year yet. Now we're back with a new adventure designed to stretch the boundaries and help you take the leap you've been longing for. Will you join us?
FREEDOM is online now. It includes eight self-paced modules and a worldwide community waiting to welcome you!
FREEDOM is an eight session online adventure you can join from wherever you are in the world. It is designed to stretch your limits, leap over your mental models and invite you to be a Freedom Provocateur in your own life and in the world. We'e designed it to support you in having foundation and focus, while at the same time giving you space to explore, discover and create. If you know there's more for you out there, but you haven't been able to realize it so far, this is for you!
TAKE THE LEAP
FREEDOM is a series of daily self-paced modules you can complete whenever you like. Our exclusive video content helps you discover what freedom means to you and how you will bring more of it into your life. As part of our worldwide FREEDOM community, you can share what you are uncovering, have others witness your journey and find the courage to move freedom into action.

Our FREEDOM Journey
Session 1: TAKING THE FIRST STEPS
What are my first steps towards freedom?
Meet your community! Our first session takes place online where we'll overview the journey we'll be taking, sharpen our intentions and find companions for the road. You'll have the opportunity to be in conversation with others around the world and be inspired to take your first steps. Don't worry if you can't make the timing, the recording of this session will be available for you in the member's area.
Session 2: WHAT IS FREEDOM?
What do I believe freedom is?
We all want more of it, but what is freedom, really? Freedom is not a given, its a choice -- and a responsibility! We dig deeply into our individual definitions of freedom to see what's under the surface. We imagine a more liberated self. What does that look like?
Session 3: THERE'S ALWAYS A CHOICE
What choices am I prepared to make towards freedom?
Viktor Frankl said: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." We take a closer look at where we are spending most of our energy and redirect it to where we have power and influence.
Session 4: FREEDOM EXPERIMENTS -- GETTING OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE
What if every experiment was a move closer to freedom?
Most of the time, we move towards comfort. It can be too easy to stay in the comfort zone! We put awareness on our habits and make a personal appreciative inquiry into freedom. You're going to learn something here you can practice -- experimenting with giving yourself more freedom.
Session 5: A JOURNEY TO FREEDOM
What can we learn about how to experience and express freedom?
In this session we get more involved with the essence of freedom by studying it up close and personally through the element -- or being -- of your choice. It’s time to take solo, reflective time to go inwards and incorporate how the essence of freedom touches you.
Session 6: BEING A FREEDOM PROVOCATEUR
How can I open the door to freedom for others?
How can you enable yourself and others to take the next step into freedom? Sometimes we need a little provocation -- or someone who will act as a provocateur. It’s time to take up invitational leadership. Where can you invite yourself and others into enlarging freedom? In this session we invite you to create a public action related to freedom.
Session 7: EMBODYING YOUR FREEDOM
What is my audacious dream for freedom?
Make an audacious dream about something you want to impact in your life -- something that really matters to you and creates more freedom for you and maybe even your world. It’s time to make a plan to step out of limitation. It’s time to create your masterpiece.
Session 8: SPREAD YOUR WINGS & FLY!
What does life look like now?
We take time to review our journey together and celebrate your new role as a freedom provocateur. What will you do with your new freedom? How will you exercise in your life and world? We put the last foundations under our dreams.
Time you opened the door?
What better time than NOW to throw open the doors and windows and let some freedom in! This is bitesized, easy and affordable, but make no mistake -- it is also incredibly powerful! What are you waiting for?
Bring a buddy!
When you want to make change really stick, it pays to bring a friend (or colleague) along! Working together supports you to keep your focus and strengthens your commitment to succeed. Besides, it's more fun!
Make freedom your focus
We talk a lot about freedom and wanting more of it, but how many people actually put their focus there? Be the one who inquires, who desires and who inspires more freedom in your life and in our world!
What our past participants in IMAGINE say
"I love the mission I came up with! The visualization I did of the year is still the picture on my desktop. It gives me strength to act and transform. "
"I am more able to see the big picture as well as the often overlooked details of any personal encounter. My confidence in all areas of life has improved. I unconditionally trust my intuition."
"The assignments helped me target areas of my practice that are most important to continue to develop. Realizing that the stories that have found me over 20 years of searching, are the ones that hold the wisdom I need now. "
"I love the mission I came up with. It carries me. I've already achieved big milestones on the way to my goal!! "
"Becoming clearer about my purpose has lead to higher contentment with what I do. Knowing that I am in the right place makes me act and communicate more clearly."
"The biggest highlight for me -- diverse and supporting community! "
"It is high time that you look at yourself in a caring and supporting way. Do it if you want to discover things about yourself and your life which are at the same time surprising, challenging and rewarding."
IMAGINE is the ideal companion to FREEDOM. In fact, if you're register for FREEDOM, you'll get IMAGINE at a special price! Now is a great time to make sure your coming 12 months make up your best year ever.
