ReflectionsfromChristineWarren

I’ve been teaching transformational workshops nationally for 40 years in a variety ofsettings, from spiritual centers to corporate leadership retreats. For the past 20 years,“NavigatingChange”hasbeenmycoreworkshop,attendedby thousandsofpeople. In it,I’ve created a transformational map for going through change to help guide peoplenavigatingbiglifetransitions.

My workshops embody my transformational approach to life: embracing our humanitywith grounded human healing work and remembering who we are as great souls on aspiritualjourney.Theyaredeeplyexperientialandalsofilledwithdynamicteachingsandcarefully created structure to give participants a step-by-step journey throughmy FourPhases of Change: Conscious Endings, The Mystery, The Phoenix Rises, and VisionaryBeginnings.

I have always used many handouts and taught my core material from posters, and itseemed that nomatter howmanyhandouts I gave,myworkshop guests kept asking formore,andwantingmetoflipbackthroughmynewsprintssotheycouldwriteeverythingdown.I’dseepeoplefuriouslytakingnotestocapturealltheywerelearningofvalue. I’dhear from my students, sometimes years later, that they re-read their notes often andfoundthemgreatremindersfortheirgrowthandinspiration.

Over the thirteen years, the book grew. I deepened. The teaching deepened. Myunderstandingofthechangejourneydeepened.Andmoreandmorepeoplekepttakingmyworkshop“NavigatingChange,”andenrichingmybookwiththeirhumanity,vulnerability,courage,andremarkablestories.
