Make It Rain - Drop In Session March

Make it Rain is a group coaching format designed to help you connect with what's most important for you right now, see what's been holding you back and what actions you want to take next in alignment with your vision. 

If you are curious about whether group coaching is the right kind of support for your situation, this one-off session is a great way to get acquainted with our way of working. 

Who is this for?

You’re an artist, activist, facilitator, advocate, researcher, social entrepreneur or community organizer looking for:

• a regularly held space to connect with your purpose
• creative strategies and accountability for taking action
• rhythm and structure to realize your vision
• inspiration and support with embodying Microsolidarity principles and practices into your project or initiativ

You are passionate about catalyzing tangible change in service of a world that works for all.

In your work, you care about supporting others to self-organise and thrive, as well as making space for your own wellbeing.

You have a sense that solutions for pressing challenges and complex issues need more intentional relationship-building.

Perhaps you’re still navigating what your passion project is, or you’re already knee-deep in a purpose-driven initiative.

Whatever stage of following your calling, if you feel you have one and you want to give it space, this is a place for you.

What you might be longing for in your work

Trust: to rest in knowing that whatever life throws at you and your collaborators, you can stay with the trouble together.

Structure: to rely on a simple structure for your team that makes it easy to connect deeply and support each other.

Interdependence: to contribute your piece of the puzzle in a way that the result is greater than the sum of the system’s parts.

Support: to have a resilient web of relationships that you can rely on when you go to take bold action in service of life.

Clarity: to take the next steps on your path knowing they are deeply rooted in your life’s purpose.

Challenges you might be facing

Doing it on your own: You might be familiar with a daunting, heavy feeling of isolation and responsibility.

Urgency: Sometimes it seems as though you need to do everything at once - you might feel driven but tend to overextend yourself.

Scarcity thinking: Trying to bring about meaningful change requires time, money, physical energy, creativity, relationships etc. - at times you feel under-resourced and struggle to know how to create abundance.

Disconnect: It might be hard to consistently stay present to your truest purpose - sometimes you lose touch with what you know is true about who you are and how you’re showing up to taking bold action.

What you'll get 

• focused support by an experienced coach who is familiar with the challenges above out of their own lived experience
• connection with others that are on a similar path and a chance to share each others wisdom
• a space designed to invite more clarity, focus, ease and grace to your life and work

Coaching is a participatory process, led by the person receiving support. As Coaches we hold a compassionate space and support you to recognize with crystal clarity:

• the intentions which energize your actions
• patterns of thought that used to serve you but no longer represent your reality and now tend to hold you back
• the difference you are here to make and how you want to show up to that

The calling - what this is about

The challenges of our times are immense and many of us feel the call to be of service to something larger than ourselves.

We see possibilities for a more thriving local economy, more regenerative environmental policies, a better connected neighbourhood, a more holistic education system, how to leverage tech for easier collaboration, a more authentic way to relate to one another at work or at home, new forms of co-living and sharing resources…

What are you being called to do right now?

While we’re deeply excited about this question, we also know it can be a daunting and deeply vulnerable exploration into action.

It may seem as though we need to do everything at once, get it right the first time, know exactly each step of the way, be the expert, sideline other important aspects of our well-being, or sustain an impossible amount of momentum and personal motivation to bring our vision to life.

We too are familiar with these challenges.

And we’ve found that it doesn’t always need to be so hard.

That’s why we’ve created this 8-week coaching program designed to make it easier for you to take consistent action from a place of purpose, with supportive companionship

How can we be of service in healthy relationship with ourselves and others?

We are certain that you have a wealth of experience, skills, and tools waiting to be put into action. This program is intended to help you find your own best way to put them into place and move past your familiar stopping points.
