"Free to Be ME" Journeys
of Empowerment

During our Events we set
up an area filled with
our fun and inviting
Journeys (stations), and
allow the group to come
play and experience at
their own level and
pace. We hold an
empowering and
compassionate space for
everyone to be who they
truly are. Our program
offers opportunities for
each to dive in and
explore, express, learn
about and even expand
their passions and
talents. We also focus
on creative conflict
resolution in a total
acceptance and
non-judgmental way! The
outcome is lots of fun,
an expanded awareness
about the world and
environment around
oneself, deeper
connection to self and
self expression, and
lots of seeds planted
for healthy boundaries,
self confidence and
acceptance, joy of life,
clear/compassionate
communication with
others, harmony and
balance! Our programs
structure is offered in
a non-structured way,
which gives each
participant the space
and encouragement to
remember and follow
their own natural
rhythms. Each one of our
Free to Be ME Guides
have learned to how to
hold this space and go
with the flow of each
day and each individual,
all the while still
holding appropriate
boundaries. Each
experience is unique,
and becomes
transformational for us
all!

A "Free to Be ME"
Journeys of Empowerment

of 9 different Journeys
(Stations):
Creatively ME

Abundantly & Manifesting
ME
Sensory ME
Appreciating ME
Time for ME
Observing ME
    
Creatively ME
   
Our Creative Arts &
Crafts Station embraces
spatial intelligence.
This journey is all
about self expression
and going deeper within
oneself, there is no
right or wrong. We
encourage each person to
look at their creation
as being unique and not
compare it with anyone
else’s. Everyone is
given a safe space to
look at and express ones
own desires, feelings
etc. It is all about
self, what or who do you
feel like being, or what
do you want to express
at this moment? What do
you like or dislike?
There is lots of freedom
at this station for
everyone to express
creativity in their own
way.
Expressing ME
    This
journey it is all about
facing, embracing and
accepting responsibility
for one's own emotions.
Creative conflict
resolution is
accomplished through fun
activities where we
learn that emotions are
not bad, it is what we
do with them that brings
desired or undesired
consequences. Everyone
is empowered as they
learn that they have the
ultimate choice of what
to do with these
actions, words and
thoughts. Tools such as
the Egg Shifter and
Emotion Deflator are
taught to show what we
can do with our
out-of-balance emotions
to help bring about more
pleasant and appropriate
outcomes. Intrapersonal
intelligence is nurtured
as they develop a deeper
awareness of their inner
world.
Discovering ME
    Through
the hands-on exploration
at this station we begin
to learn more about
Mother Earth and
remember our connection
to her, all inhabitants,
including her mineral
and plant kingdoms.
Responsibility to and
for Mother Earth is
encouraged. Visitors
taking this journey are
taught ways to expand
awareness of how to
better help and
appreciate Mother Earth
and all her
inhabitants.
Entertaining ME
   
In this exciting Journey
one can express oneself
by
dressing up, using body
art, participating in
theatrical choreography,
creating a puppet show,
acting, singing/dancing,
etc…. It is
a wonderful opportunity
for building self
confidence, self
expression, and
developing
bodily-kinesthetic
intelligence as they
explore and discover
various aspects of
themselves. Excitement
builds as their
creativity soars to new
heights.
Abundantly & Manifesting
ME
   
From making an exciting
treasure map to creating
a new Paradigm Business
this Journey
is all about expanding
our awareness of all
types of abundance, the
power of intention,
creating a healthy
mindset of giving and
receiving money, and
remembering our true
unlimited source comes
from within. It taps
into aspects of
logical-mathematical
intelligence.
"Journeyers" are given
tools to remind them to
focus their thoughts on
what they truly want in
order to manifest a
joyful and well-balanced
life.
Sensory ME
   
This Journey is all
about expanding
awareness of all of our
senses; sound, touch,
feel, taste, smell and
sense/inner wisdom.
Through many games,
musical instruments, and
activities we explore
and learn more about the
connection with our
senses and strengthening
our linguistic and
musical intelligence.
Through inner wisdom
activities we increase
our consciousness of how
we affect and are
affected by our senses.
Appreciating ME
   
Here, through up-lifting
games, encouragement of
bodily-kinesthetic
intelligence and self
reflective activities we
remind everyone how
important it is to
appreciate and nurture
ourselves by making
healthy choices and
setting healthy
boundaries regarding our
physical, spiritual and
emotional selves.
Time for ME
   
In this Journey everyone
is encouraged to listen
to their own natural
rhythms. Opportunities
include taking time for
themselves in
a cozy place to take a
breather, sit by
oneself, listen to
music, build with
blocks, talk with a
friend, rest or just
BE!
Observing ME
   
Results of hands-on
experiments and ideas
such as Dr. Emoto's
Water Thoughts, are
displayed and shared,
which empower us to move
through life with more
awareness. These
activities encourage us
to make conscious and
healthy choices which
will benefit ourselves,
others and ultimately
our planet.
