Summary:

Arete: Translated as "virtue," the word actually means something closer to ... "reaching your highest human potential".

The intent of Arete is to develop your capacity for joy and to awaken self within the complete spectrum of your life. You will discover potential and ability beyond what you have imagined. In this collaborative process, you will deepen your experience of life through the distillation of your spirit and the awakening of your capacity to engage in life.

The key to the adventure of life is to truly know ourselves. As we gain understanding and acceptance of who we are, we are liberated. We are able to face life's challenges with ease, becoming a source of joy and contribution in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.

Within the process, we will explore the roots of what restricts and diminishes our expression of spirit. During our childhood we were dominated by all powerful beings, our parents. The constraints and tenants that arise out of this relationship limit us in our adulthood until we have the courage to step out of them. Often, we do not even see these boundaries, and it is difficult to understand the extent to which they limit the free expression of our spirit. As a primary focus of this process, we will recognize our boundaries and move beyond them, finding joy in the experience of life.

Detail:

Arete is a highly personalized process, individually sculpted to meet the specific needs of your development. Kyle Mercer will be leading this year long process of elite training in which you will asses and address everything in your life that restrains you from being the source of your own joy.

You will begin Arete with an in-depth assessment of all aspects of your life. This will allow you to see precisely to what extent you are currently able to experience life and where you are in your development. We will use this assessment to create a clear vision of your immediate purpose in the process. As each intended growth step is completed, we will go back to the assessment to renew and amplify your purpose. This process is ideal for each participant to experience their greatest possible growth.

Arete Program Includes:

Life Assessment
The year will begin with a detailed assessment looking at every aspect of your life. From that assessment, you will initially identify five facets of your life that we will work with to deepen your capacity and consciousness. In addition, we will step into an investigation of self, including what self means and how to deepen our joy and the ease with which we engage in life.

Coaching Process
The core of the program revolves around a regular coaching process: You will schedule weekly individual coaching calls with Kyle, where we will continue to assess the areas of life we have identified for developmental and transformational growth.

Concierge: Personalized, individualized attention and service.
Assisting in the coaching process will be a concierge who will schedule calls, keep records, and track your progress throughout the year. This process ensures continual growth through goal assessment and accountability. They will follow up after coaching calls, assisting in research around your requests, and will be available for coaching.

Arete Two Day Experience
To support the process, you will have a Two Day Experience, sharing and expressing the results of your assessment and intentions for the year, deepening your awareness of what and who you are.

Collaborative or Individual Arete One-Day
During the year, you will participate in a personal process with Kyle to solidify the roots and foundations that support the shifts you will be making. This process will be in a One-Day setting over one or two days with either one or three other people where you will deepen your insights through other people's experience.

Arete Two Day Experience/ Year End Celebration
The Year End Celebration begins with a Two Day Experience for Arete participants and flows into a community three day, full curriculum program. You will participate in this five day process which will celebrate and amplify your achievements from the year, prepare you for another year of expansion and celebrate life and our community.
