Education

Seek. Listen. Learn.

A graduate of Brandeis University in Psychology (studying with Abraham Maslow himself), Wynne is a dedicated lifelong learner whose teachers are both traditional and leading edge. Wynne is a dedicated lifelong learner whose teachers are both traditional and leading edge.

Having been grandmothered into ICF’s new credential, Master Certified Coach (1998), Wynne had the luxury of choosing to do her training in her favorite learning style: a smorgasboard of coaching approaches, styles, and institutions.

Bregman Leadership Coaching, Corporate Coach University, CTI (Co-Active), Alan Seale’s Center for Transformational Presence, Presence-based Coaching, Newfield… along with NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), Internal Family Systems, Somatic training (body awareness), and Psychosynthesis (spiritual psychology).

Some of her most valuable lessons have been learned outside the classroom on her many adventures.

Adventures

Mind. Body. Spirit.

Skydiving

 

I took the phrase "taking a leap" literally. Sometimes it’s useful to make a metaphor a reality. Especially if it gives you courage, exhilaration and an otherwise-unavailable, spectacular  360-degree view of New England from 10,500 feet.

 

Enlightened Warrior & Wizard Training Camp

 

Under the spell of British Columbia glaciers, I discover I am stronger than I ever imagined. There is nothing I can’t do if I focus on it. The experience of living without fear, honoring integrity, and serving others gives me the perfect warrior backdrop for life as a wizard. I stay in harmony with my true self and the universe by replacing controlling with allowing, deciding with being guided, and struggling with miracles.

 

Grand Canyon Courage

 

Visit the majestic Arizona Grand Canyon. Ah, you’ve done that, you say? Mount a mule and trust a clumsy, lumbering, but well-trained creature to maneuver a rock-strewn path, round hairpin turns and descend 7000 feet safely.

I learned to move past fear and face a new challenge. The reward: breathtaking geological formations, restoring meaning to the word, "awesome."

 

Solitude & Silence

 

Spend a week solo and silent on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, just you, the sun and sand, a tent, food, water and the sea lions (and if you are lucky, whales too). You will have a new relationship with yourself, mystery, sky above and earth below, deeply connected to all that is natural.

John P. Milton prepared me for a solo excursion in Baja California with training from his collection of Native American and Eastern philosophies and practices. Could one know oneself better than to sit in silence for a week, sometimes in the company of a pale yellow butterfly, sometimes a sea lion?

 

The Spell of Hawaiian Rainbows

 

Behold the rainbows on a Hawaiian island, wander the organic gardens and be sustained by enlightened discussions on balance, wisdom at work, community. Explore with two masters, the frontiers of personal, team, & organizational performance.

Joel and Michelle Levey blended their spirit-based facilitation and coaching with Hawaiian lore and values at their Big Island permaculture sanctuary. I even learned to dance the hula and tap a coconut.

 

Push The Limits

 

Test the limits of your potential, energizing the possible human, embracing “social artistry” and applying new ways of thinking, being, and doing to social challenges in the world. Identify the archetypes playing out their roles in your life. Be guided into the worlds of myth, creativity, quantum physics, re-patterning, sacred mountains, earthy humor, and more. Mystery School awaits you.
