My best ever investment!

Way of a Warrior was the best investment I have ever made in myself. Worth every penny and so much more. I went in without truly knowing what I was looking for, and I left with a clarity about myself that I might never otherwise have understood. 

Just like the More to Life Weekend, they gave us an absolutely over-the-top course purpose, and they nailed it. The processes, the experiences, the bonds, there is so much on offer. 

I can’t wait to see what is coming around the next YES!

I am sitting here reflecting on this extraordinary result created by a handful of extraordinary individuals who are in turn supported behind the scenes by a vast network of people – husbands, wives, partners, friends, and communities – around the world.  

Our amazing creation team consists of

~ Clare Vivian-Neal, Senior Trainer and enroller extraordinaire, committed to contact, connection, communicating, and leading, going beyond every time

~ Ulrich Bergler, Associate Trainer with skills on all fronts, handling finances, participant registration and team applications, IT pathways, Facebook group, and WOW blog site, plus much more

~ Robyn Madden, Trainer Candidate, supporting and underpinning graciously both front and behind, powerful in being present

~ Tullia Wilson, giving big doses of youthful enthusiasm and creativity, bold, audacious, authentic truth seeker and teller

~ Jenny Meadows, wonderfully wise woman, many years front and behind the scenes, handling logistics, managing information, wealth of experience in supporting and upholding advanced trainings

~ Moana Bianchin, Mentor, Coach, Author, discerning wise woman, and

~ Myself, loving being a part of this dynamic group

And… to the 43 Individuals who have put their stake in the ground early. Courageous, clear vision, strong intentions, powerful purpose.  This journey has well and truly begun.

We have 17 more places … Who will you call?... Who will come?... Who hasn’t yet taken the Weekend, but you see them at WOW2018 in New Zealand?

Back from WOW 2017

Before attending Way Of a Warrior this year I had an idea that it would “sort my life out”.  

Well, it didn’t happen like that - thankfully!  I discovered a connection to myself that I have never experienced before.  I learned not to bypass myself in the journey of my life and connected deeply with my body and my feelings and realised all I want is within me.  I am changed, irreversibly.  WOW gave me the tools, confidence and self-love to do this for myself always and this was alongside an incredible group of people I am proud to call my warrior family for life!  

I can’t recommend this experience enough.  No matter where you are in your life journey WOW will make you a true warrior of your chosen path!!”

An Invitation

Recent events occurring throughout the world are touching our lives in ways we may or may not have previously experienced or foreseen. Lifeshocks about our global climate, polarizing language and views in our political landscape, daily stories of refugees at a previously unknown scale, new diseases arriving on our shores, complex surgeries now considered routine, people who astound us – both young and young at heart, stories of domestic violence. Lifeshocks on a global scale, outside our control, that are reaching into the core of who we are and how we choose to be.

Way of a Warrior (WOW) strengthens our ability to engage with the events of our life and create our life anew because of them, not in spite of them. To take a powerful stand FOR what matters to us and to find the Gift of Life that is being given in each moment.

WOW offers time, space, and support to experience the depth of your nobility and passion; to honour others for the unique beings they are, and to affirm your courage to open to the possibilities for the future. You may have questions like: What changes do I want to make in myself and in my day-to-day life? What struggles do I want to let go of? What visions do I want to see come to fruition? What matters of the heart do I want to open to and embrace with all of my capacity to love?

We will stand with you for movements in the morning as we awaken to each new day and the possibilities it holds. We will walk/run with you as you stretch to find what 100% alive feels like in your body. We will work together with you in morning, afternoon, and evening sessions filled with deep, powerful, and real exploration into ourselves and the Life we are being given. We will hold you in unconditional love as we cry together, laugh together, dance together, and have the full experience of our individual and collective humanity. Seven days and nights, taking the work of the More To Life Weekend to a whole different level, in a beautiful setting, with trainers and team from around the world. It is an opportunity to come together with people from many countries and cultures, being in community in remarkably different ways, consciously, seeing things we may have never noticed before. 

For the second time WOW is being offered in New Zealand, at Living Springs Centre near Christchurch, surrounded by stunning native forest, looking out over the bays of Lyttelton Harbour.

Whether you regularly practice the work of the More To Life Programme, or not, or have just completed the More To Life Weekend, there is a place for you here. Wherever you are in the journey of your life, you are warmly invited to be a part of WOW NZ 2018.

Until our paths cross, please know that we hold you in deep respect and honour you for the journey you are on. We stand with you in appreciation of the human being you are and hope that we see you eye to eye and heart to heart next year.

Creating WOW 2018

Our Vision: 60 participants, 22 Team, 4-6 Trainers

With WOW on the calendar and a stake in the ground, I am personally called to some deep reflection on my life purposes, my bigger vision, and my personal contributions to community, what this means for me at this time, and what my next steps will be.

For me it’s no longer 'easy' to play it safe, keep my walls up to protect myself and the lies I tell myself, then to hide out, procrastinate, and prevaricate, play life small or play life puffed up and I choose the challenge on offer of being part of a strong creation team to work in partnership and deepen my personal mastery in service to others.

Creation Team is currently Tullia Wilson, Jenny Meadows, Clare Vivian-Neal, Ulrich Bergler and myself (Donna Southwick), with some international folk as well.  We are looking for more people to join us so if this is on your heart to be part of this 'groovy' group, let any one of us know.

If creation team is not it, there are still a number of ways you could be involved. Could it be or Is it.
