"An infinitely yielding process that can be used again and again."

A WORKSHOP FOR FINDING CLARITY IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

This series offers storytelling tools & creative exercises as a way for you to explore your work in the world.

The future — and our role within it — is a more uncertain space to navigate than ever before.⁣⁣⁣⁣

We are in a time of great change and hardship, and at the same time have been offered a unique opportunity to (re)discover and embrace our gifts — the passions and the skills that uniquely express who we are.

This is our chance to build a world so much better than the one we're leaving behind.⁣⁣⁣

WHO THE WORKSHOP IS FOR

This work is for anyone looking for ways to do work that feels more meaningful and/or financially rewarding, whether you are a freelancer with multiple clients or working as part of a larger project team.
⁣⁣⁣
The frameworks can support anyone considering a career change or who wants to adjust the work they're doing within an existing project or role.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you're feeling stuck, or suffering the opposite problem — too many ideas, these tools can help you let go of the clutter and gain more clarity on what is most important, and where to go next.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Each session is an hour-long and explores a different aspect of your work (your needs, passions & skills, acts of service, people, and creative projects)
  
• They are interactive, with group discussion and smaller breakout rooms, exploring with others as we go along.
  
• My model builds upon the Japanese concept of ‘Ikigai’ (or ‘reason for being’) and supports a more regenerative approach, in which money is just one of many forms of 'currency' we can receive in exchange for our work.
  
  
• Over the 4 weeks we will look at the things that you love, the things that you are good at, the things that can meet your financial and emotional needs, as well as which people and communities can benefit most from your work (and help you on your path)
  
• Each session has additional time at the end to connect and share with others on the call.
  
• Each workshop includes exercises you are encouraged to apply afterward to your work.⁣
  
• Everyone who joins is invited to a dedicated Facebook group where you can connect with others on a shared journey of change.⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
Each session is a “light touch” way of exploring some big questions, so I can’t promise that participating in this will leave you with everything ‘figured out’!⁣⁣⁣

However, I CAN promise that participating in these sessions will leave you with useful tools and methods that can help you gain more clarity about where to go next.

The structure is set up so that people who join the call can benefit from the support of others in real-time.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

I'm so excited to share this work and to see what you will create.⁣⁣⁣

MORE ABOUT ME, JON SLACK

For 15 years I have been using storytelling and communication tools for social change.

During the past 18 months, I've used these tools to create frameworks that can support people like me, who feel overwhelmed by the seemingly impossible task of doing something useful, in the face of all that is broken.

We all need easier ways to cut through the clutter, so this is my contribution to the effort.

I'm on all the socials - feel free to connect on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn & Instagram

If you're interested in working with me 1-2-1 or as part of your project or organisation, drop me an email.

SOME NICE WORDS FROM OTHER PEOPLE

I'm proud to share these tools with anyone who wants to create more connection, healing and regenerative change in the world.

Here’s what some of them have had to say:

• "So much more than I expected. An alchemizing experience, I dropped very quickly from my head to my heart/root whilst feeling very safe to trust in the process. I can find it hard to make time to sit with my vision, to focus on my purpose, and this was held with compassion, patience and presence. This workshop provided clarity of vision and opened doors... Honoured to have stepped into this transformative space with you." ~ Taila Rose, sex educator & activist
  
  
• "The exercises were all new to me and the structure helped make order out of the jumble that was in my brain. Every stage of the process led to new clarity and insight and tangible actions I could take moving forward. It seems like an infinitely yielding process that can be used again and again." ~ Samantha, playwright & activist
  
  
• "I really enjoyed Jon's facilitated brainstorming, so much inspiration came to me during the workshop! Best thing is that Jon is really invested in continuing this journey with you." ~ Haneen, immersive event facilitator
  
  
• "I gained clarity very quickly and was surprised to discover some very powerful learnings about how I work and what I want from it. I loved the focus on our feelings and body as our greatest collaborator. The pairings were powerful and you packed a lot in." ~ Jane, yoga teacher
