about

Te Event Wise Training is a personal and social development training. We

make use o methods that ollow the natural human behavior, which work in the

same way like learning to walk, taste and eel. We call it learning by experience.Communication with yoursel and others is essential to get out the maximum

o this training. In this training we learn how to benet rom experiences in

our lie in an enjoyable and dynamic way.

During a 7 days period you are provided with tools which you can reintegrate

in your personal or proessional lie. Te training deals with vital questions,

such as: What do I want to do with my lie? How do I cope with events? How do

I build up good relationships, both in private lie and in work situations? Howdo collaboration, sel-condence, parenthood, love, sel-expression and other

aspects that determine my personal growth make up the ramework o my lie?

Te training will rst o all ocus on actually experiencing ones own way o

doing things. Te next step is to explore alternative possibilities to unction in

society in a satisying way.

Even though the training is individual-based, it is given within a group, thus you

take the training or yoursel, with others. Te exercises, calledprocesses in our

training context, will be done alternately alone, in pairs or in a group. Giving

lectures that provide insights, the trainer will prepare the ground. One process

may involve talking, while in another you will be listening or visualizing certain

thoughts with your eyes closed. Exercises will be provided in combination with

music, dance or play. Tere are indoor and outdoor processes.

All processes will contain an element o surprise, the exact nature o which is not

known upront. Questions will thus be prompted that can be answered by the

participant alone, namely by experiencing his or her own reactions.

Te Event Wise Trainingis a careully constructed and comprehensive whole.

Te training will create, in a simple manner, conditions that will enable you to

experience how you behave, what eect this has on you and what the results can

be. Each day during the training period, you will build on what has been done

the previous day and a new theme will be introduced.

Te central topics raised in the training are: What is important or me in my

lie? What do I really want and what prevents me rom achieving it? How can Iattain ulllment and realization in my lie?In general, the training ocuses on

subjects such as ones own happiness, sel-condence, joy o lie, collaboration,

openness, spontaneity, daring and enrichment o relationships in all areas:

relationships with ones partner, amily, riends or at work.

For every day, we selected seven major topics to guide and structure the

period o the training. It is important to note that these topics include a variety

o sub-topics and sub-goals, each according to the needs and aspirations o theparticipans, as ar as we have already mentioned that the training is individual

in relation to others.

Day 1At the beginning, the main philosophy o the training will be claried in a workableand concrete way. Agreements on working together will be made and roles will beclaried. Also, practical arrangements will be made, in order to create the necessaryenvironment to do the training. Te rst day o the training ocuses on the aspects o

judgment. Each one o us has his or her own way o judging and considering matters.When we error again and again, this means that our judgment is ailing us. When weare capable o identiying the mistakes, we can correct them. Tis rst day ocuseson the ability to identiy how each one o us judges, considers and weights varioussituations.

Day 2

Te second day o the training ocuses on the topic opatterns. Each one o us, throughoutour lives, have developed specic, automatic ways o behaving and acting, while dealingwith events that are coming up. Tese seemingly inescapable patterns may consciously orunconsciously aect our lie. During the day, questions will be raised:What conditions doI allow to afect my lie? What automatic responses do I have? How do I sidestep

problems? How does this afect my choices and the way in which I conduct my lie? How

can I improve this?

Day 3Te third day is a day ull o games and action. Tis day ocuses on sel-loyalty.Most o thetimes things happen to us without us wishing or them. Our reaction to the unexpected isusually anger, nerves, stress and pressure. And then we realize that the new circumstances,or even other people in our lives, begin to control the quality o our lie, although this wasnot what we intended in the rst place. Te third day deals with the question o how we

can achieve the quality that we desire, by maintaining our rst intentions and by beingloyal to ourselves.

Day 4Te ourth day deals with spontaneity. All o us experience tiring routines in ourlives, which are also connected to the sel-image that we are using. Many times,this is limiting our spontaneity. During the day, questions will come up: Do I

allow mysel to be spontaneous? How does this afect my relationships? What arethe advantages? What restrictions do I impose on mysel by acting in a certain

way? Could I do something new?Te ourth day will exercise the ability to enjoylie by being more daring. It is a very dynamic day, ull o playing, packed withactivity and un.

Background information on the

Olde Vechte trainings

At the heart o lie is a creative energy that fows through each o us when we are at ourbest. Olde Vechte trainings teach practical tools and skills that can help you connectwith your best sel whenever you choose and grasp more o the creative possibilities inevery lie situation. Use them to create partnerships that are more connecting, workthat is more ullling and a lie in which you become more o who you are, each day oyour lie.Whatever our goals, the key to success in lie is the way we live it. We may not have achoice about exactly how things happen. But we do have a choice about the way werespond to what happens. Our trainings reveal practices that help you connect withyour creative response to each moment, just as it happens. Lie becomes an adventurein which nothing is nally xed or determined. And you eel a new sense o reedom tond your own way through it.

The TrainingLie constantly surprises us, requiring us to respond in new ways every day. But ournaturally creative response is limited by habitual patterns o behavior developed overtime. Te training shows you how to become aware o your unconscious innerdialogue and break through to a new and creative perspective whenever you choose.

Creativity in lieLie is undamentally creative and so are we. Every day we make choices about ourrelationships, our projects and our goals that impact our eectiveness and our senseo ulllment. But the extent o our real creative potential is rarely glimpsed, because oautomatic assumptions we carry with us throughout our lives.

Lie - the inner gameYou may be aware o that part o your inner dialogue that oers a non-stopcommentary on everything that happens and everything you do. You can hearit now, commenting on the words you are reading and on yoursel as you readthem. When you take time to listen, you will notice that what seem like trivialthoughts actually represent deep-seated convictions, which aect the way youact at every moment.

7/27/2019 Event Wise 22-28 Nov 2013-1

12/16

Our limiting beliesTese unnoticed belies include judgments we hold against ourselves and others,demands and expectations about how everything should be and grievances we mayhave carried with us or years. Tis unconscious activity not only generates stress,it diverts us rom reaching our most cherished aims. From winning, staying incontrol, or doing the right thingwe end up blaming one another, driving ourselves,manipulating people and events, striving to appease and oen just pretending tobe happy.

Passion or LieTe Olde Vechte trainings oer you the possibility to challenge your guiding belies

and break through into a new connection with yoursel and with lie. Like an athletewho works to coordinate mind and body to achieve outstanding results, you canlearn to engage with your own inner process and use your awareness to respond toyour experience in a new way. Tis shi o perspective can be repeated again andagain; revealing possibilities that may not have been encountered otherwise. Tis isan intensive training experience that can be a turning point in your lie.

How it worksTe trainings are made up o three kinds o activity: learning to use the tools and skillso the training, practicing them in the training and learning rom experiences sharedby your ellow participants. Te training is designed to build over time, each step takingyou orward to a deeper level o understanding. You have time to talk, time to refect,time to share with others, and time to listen. Above all, you have time to learn romwhat happens.

Methodology

Te theory o the training is based on the observation that when we are able tocreatively choose our response to what is happening, we see lie in a dierentway compared with our state o mind when we are stressed, driven or strugglingto get things under control. Tis way o being is more common than you mightthink: EEG measurements o brain patterns (a test that measures and records

the electrical activity o your brain) show that we are typically in a driven stateor most o our waking day. Te main skill taught in the training is the ability toshi your state whenever you choose and encounter the vision o lie that givesyou energy.

Processes

Te rst process o the training involves a set o agreements, which you use asdisciplines throughout the training. Some o these are designed to help withpractical matters like communicating during the training ,though all o them

have value as a practice o personal discipline. Te processes allow you to startnoticing your unconscious habits o thinking, and develop your ability to alignyour everyday actions with your deeper purposes. Further processes show youhow to bring orward your personal authority in a new way, clariy repetitivethoughts and assumptions, challenge limiting belies about yoursel, and practiceorgiveness towards yoursel and others.

LearningDuring the training you will have a chance to think thoughts and eel eelings you maynot have elt or years and an opportunity to explore your lie experiences in a sae,non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere. You will explore new qualities in yoursel,and may nd new trust in others. You will learn ways to let go o old belies and oldhurts that may have been bothering you or years. You will identiy habitual ways oseeing that were ormed in childhood and learn to shi into a dierent way o being,

based on your ability to objectively veriy interpretations o any situation and connectwith your most creative response at the time.

ResultsEach o the processes o the training oers you the chance to experience this shi oryoursel and you will be able to recreate it again and again aer the training is over,

whenever you choose to put the tools into practice. Te training is complete in itsel andollow-up is there or those who want to use it. All the tools and skills you have learnedare ree to use.

Ater the trainingI you choose to apply the practices o the training in your everyday lie you will soon

start to see lie itsel in a dierent way. You will learn rom events you may not even havenoticed beore. And you will see the truth o the idea that the things we try to avoid canoen teach us what we most need to know.

Learning over time

In time you will start to experience a new quality o trust in lie. You will nd youcan orgive yoursel and others more easily, where beore you might have held onto grie, anger or resentment or long periods. Your authenticity and your personal

power will keep on growing, as will your ability to connect with others more deeplyand experience peace with yoursel.

Connect with lieEventually you will know instinctively when to connect yoursel with lie, instead ostruggling to control it. You will become more open to those chance opportunities thatoccur without rational explanation. You will nd that your lie gets bigger, both in terms

o your own aspirations, the impact you have as a partner and a leader and your visiono what is possible or the world.
