​Collaborate, create, celebrate!
.
Whilst the MG (manifesting generator) in me likes to go it alone on certain tasks, I also enjoy working with others who are also just as willing and able to contribute towards the greater whole. 
.
I didn't realise this was one of my values until my dear friend pointed this out to me in when I was living in Hawke's Bay "You create a sense of collaboration in the community, people want to work/play with you" 
. 
Collaboration is like a dance for me, regardless the configuration. Whether that is a team, a joint project, a client, or in a workshop. There's a moment where you're learning about how the others move and how you can move with them. Sometimes you're leading, and sometimes you're not and if we're ready, we could be learning a whole new dance. Some dances flow like lyrical, and some are like breakdancing.
.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Keep asking questions. What is possible here? What will be fun? What will be light? What will create greater for us?  If it doesn't flow, it's okay to say it's a no go.
.
I have appreciated collaborations which have contributed to the expansion of consciousness that include you, me and we with total ease

Lightness with the darkness
.
Feedback I have had from several clients and workshop participants is that they were able to go to those dark and gritty places with me with lightness. 
.
The intrepid explorers who have journeyed for a while may have forgotten what their first time was like looking into their shadows. Yes it can be daunting, confronting, unsettling to have a look. I know for me, if the facilitator is being the space of allowance for that which wants to show up without reacting, freaking out or interrupting, I can move through the e-motions with more ease. 
.
The more I work on my shadowy aspects, the more I can be the expanded space for people to have lightness with the darkness - just be with what is.
.
This is what I have learnt to value as a kindness to me and to others, having lightness with the darkness.

Honour you and your path
.
Something that has taken me awhile to practice is to honour where I am at and cease comparing my progress with other people's successes. It can be a slippery slope when we compare how we are doing with others or even expecting other people to have the same understanding and outlook as you.
.
'Am I good enough?'
'How come they are so quick?'
'Why did they get the job?'
'Why don't they see that?'
and so on
.
We don't know the path others have taken or where they are going. We all have a different way of looking at life. There is no 'it' to get or 'there' to be. The intrepid explorer does not need to race to a finish line that does not even exist.
.
That is what I value now for myself and others. Honouring where we are all at in any given moment. There is no rush or resolution or solution to obtain. I have learnt to soften in my sessions and workshops when I am reminded by this notion.

What I really value in my own life and how I run my sessions is learning through experiencing.
.
That seems to be my primary learning style and has shaped my offerings. Whilst I may have some contextual instructions, I like to explore and experience first then reading up and nerding about it afterwards. 
.
For me it feels empowering to be able to form your own experiences, ideas and insights without it being pre-loaded with other people's point of views.
.
People tell me that's what they appreciate in my classes and sessions.
