About Our Workshops
Mission
Our mission is to offer a sense of creative control and agency, a feeling of energy, and a sense of freedom that turns the life being lived into the COLOR
FULL life desired.
Overview
Many people keep recycling through the same limited options, stuck in the same habitual either/or dilemmas without recognizing the pattern or realizing they can move outside of dualistic thinking. Polarization is everywhere. At every level, from the highest echelons of government to the workplace to personal dilemmas, rigid dichotomies frame how we approach problems.
The approach to COLORFULL living is
based on a model of colorful abundance. It offers five interactive techniques for
working with life dilemmas differently. These techniques are captured in the acronym COLOR:
 |
Connect to make new space for change.
Optimize to identify new options.
Lighten up the color choices to remember to focus on appreciation and the more playful side of life
Oops to allow yourself options, select another color when you think you’ve made a wrong choice
Radiate to remember to stay centered and aware of your COLORFULL options. |
Audience
We work with individuals as well as community groups who wish to make changes in their lives. Workshops, classes and leadership training sessions may be customized for particular groups and organizations. One-on-one counseling with the COLOR techniques is also available. Those who work with populations ready for change — therapists, counselors, social workers, teachers, and trainers — find great value in these workshops. Those in moments of transition and those working with such populations — welfare-to-work, returning to school, probation or rehabilitation — are especially enthusiastic about what this approach offers.
Our unique approach:
- Describes ways to deliberately shift out of either/or thinking
- Offers color as a tool to visualize and negotiate choices in daily life
- Uses color metaphorically to realize the abundance of life choices
- Incorporates women’s preference for process and creative action
- Fosters a COLORFULL approach to decision making as daily practice.
