*This workshop was previously titled 'The Journey to Sustainable Leadership'

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts…”

So what do we need to do - and who do we need to be - to become truly resilient at this point in time? Wherever we look, foundational shifts are occurring – “the times they are a-changing” indeed, and now they call for personal and planetary renewal.

Using the experiential methodology of Mythodrama, we will explore the regeneration found at the heart of Shakespeare's magical mystery comedy “As You Like It”. We start in a troubled court, where a dominant culture impedes the development of future potential. As pressure mounts people enter a forest where time in nature, creative expression, courageous conversation and philosophical inquiry yield previously unknown ways of being. By the end new relationships have formed and our leading characters step into new roles both for their own development and for the good of the whole.

“…this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.”

Working creatively with the archetypes and themes found in the play we will bring the story to life. We then reflect it back into our own inner dramas as shown in our astrological charts and by stories that appear in our daily lives. As the leading characters dare to leap ahead into an unknown future, so we will invite ourselves to do the same; “How can I best contribute to the positive unfolding of an emergent future?”

(N.B. No prior knowledge of Shakespeare or Astrology is required for full participation and enjoyment of this unique programme. Every participant will have their Astrological chart prepared in advance by Laurence Hillman)
