Emergence: "to rise from, to come forth into view, to become apparent or known, to develop or evolve."

This program is designed for people who want to address the existential questioning that arises beyond the day to day process of who I marry, where I live, and what I do for a living. Fullness and maturity demand inclusion of the first perspective. It is a gift to have arrived at the point in life where one has the luxury of focusing on the meaning behind one's life.

This program will not answer the question, "what is the purpose of life?" It will challenge you to seek and articulate your own answer, and to live the answer you have found. To have an answer and not to live it is unfulfilling and disconnected. However, to have an answer and to live it leads to aliveness, a graceful acceptance, and a knowing: A knowing that there is nothing to fight or resist and all is as it is.

Emergence is a year long immersion process using a developmental model to guide you in transcending into your next stage of development. It is oriented upon a model that reflects stages and lines of human development. Models, like maps, give us the confidence to chart our course, honor the territory already traveled and provide a sense that the path is manageable and easily understood.

Emergence is a highly personalized process, individually sculpted to meet the specific developmental needs of each participant. Approaching the world with an openness and willingness to pose the questions such as 'what is the world', 'who am I' and 'what is to be my relation to the world'...means, in Eric Fromm's words, that "the whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself".

Over the course of one year, Janice will lead a group of individuals who are ready to transcend the past and move forward to the next stage of their development.

Emergence Program Includes:

Coaching Process
The core of the program revolves around an exclusive coaching process: You will schedule two monthly individual coaching calls with Janice, who will repeatedly hold up a mirror, until you can see that your movement demands that you dis-identify from ego positions that are keeping you from developing. Together, with Janice, you will continually assess your progress and identify areas in your life for developmental and transformational change.

Monthly Emergence Call
Janice will lead an hour and a half call for all Emergence participants. This call will introduce new units, challenging exercises and monitor your progress. For example: we will work toward "Living with a consciousness focused in the present." Easy to understand, easy to desire but incredibly challenging to do because any fear will cast me into the future and any guilt, shame, or regret will send me into the past. This challenge and more await you.

Emergence Three Day Experience
As an essential element of the Three Day Experience, you will accomplish a complete assessment of self, establishing context for the duration of the program, and you will begin the journey of expanding the sense of "who I am". These assessments will be used to tailor the developmental program for each individual. - Sandpoint, ID

Collaborative Emergence One-Day
During the year, you will participate in a back-to-back Collaborative One-Day, lead by Janice, intended to solidify the principles and foundations that support the shifts you will be making in this process. Your insights will be deepened by being present during another participant's One-Day. Scheduled throughout the year - Sandpoint, ID

Emergence Two Day Experience
At this Two Day Experience you will acknowledge and bring into awareness the process, the journey that you have completed during the year. To feel gratitude is the initial step in owning what you have accomplished. Solidly placing yourself is the preparation for your continued expansion and development. Dates to be determined at the Opening Three Day - Sandpoint, ID
