JOIN US FOR A 9-MONTH IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

LIVING LEADERSHIP DOJO

This advanced course for selected participants will upgrade your operating system to a whole new level of “living leadership” so that you can show up more fully in your personal, professional, and creative relationships.

Broaden your capacity to show up in the world in an empowered and meaningful way.
Turn conflict into a catalyst for deeper intimacy.
Learn to tune into a space multi-dimensionally.
Be able to share your wants & needs effectively.
Create in connection with what you truly desire.
Radically expand your self awareness to lead yourself from a more authentic, integrated and grounded place.
Meet the areas in your experience where you feel blocked, contracted and unrealized.

In our formative years, life presents us all with a particular set of unique experiences and circumstances. This sets us on a certain trajectory for our self-expression, realization, and relationships. As we grow, our inherent nature can sometimes feel broken and disconnected. Our innocence is lost and our true selves neglected or rejected through adverse, unpredictable, and potentially unsafe surroundings.

This can lead to an innate feeling that we are somehow “off course” and in need to “find” ourselves again, to finally come home after a long journey through the wilderness of life.

This feeling has brought you here, a powerful step towards

reconnection, healing and freedom

on the path to finding a true sense of home within yourself.

You are invited to open to a compassionate inquiry of both your unmet darkest shadows and unrealized greatest light. You will be both held and held to account, to a more authentic vulnerable, and empowered self.

“The more we get to explore ourselves and the living
experience of other people, the more we can open to
life itself and claim our distinctive signature of being
and expression in this world.” – Tom

THIS DOJO IS FOR LEADERS READY TO EMBODY THEIR MASTERY

THIS IS NOT FOR SPECTATORS. This container invokes a high level of participation. It invites each participant into a deep relational practice, which can often have you experience yourself in ways you haven’t seen or have been avoiding. It’s not merely an exercise of the mind, but a fully immersive journey of mind, body, and spirit.

THIS IS A LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR HOW YOU LEAD YOURSELF through life. You are the lead role in your story and how you conduct yourself in your personal intimate relationships, family life and business are what we will be working on together. To bring your self-leadership into balance with your integrity.

Your relationship with yourself reflects everywhere through all facets of life. When you have a deeply integrated understanding of self then you will have a deeply connected relationship with how you lead in life.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

One of the most important resources you will have access to throughout this 9-month program is each other. You will be part of a phenomenal group of 22 dedicated souls all sharing a journey of discovery and exploration together. This cohort, along with a solid 5 person facilitation team, will afford you a wealth of experience, perspectives, connections, and opportunities.

Between us, lies the incredible potential to realize, face and heal our relational wounds as well as develop personal and creative relationships. This is a key element of what we are building, an expanding community of people, aligned in values, committed to connection, and realizing cohesive, shared experience.

“This is the most expansive container I have been in. Together we rested into our infinite capacity to see, know, feel and evolve in the gifts of each present breath, in connection with ourselves, each other and all of life. After doing this work, I trust myself and my ability to meet whatever life brings me in a more congruent, more available and more curious way.”

The 9-Month Living Leadership DOJO Curriculum

Months 1 - 3: THE INITIATION PROCESS

BEGINNINGS

Unpack, Assess & Illuminate

In the first lessons, you will raise your awareness through unpacking your patterns and assessing where you are developmentally. We will look at how you hold back or excel in the world. We will use Spiral Dynamics to map out your experiences to efficiently navigate your process. This will help uncover why you operate in the world the way you do. It will also illuminate not only your challenges but also your deepest gifts.

This will be a deeply somatic appraisal, meaning you will really begin to feel the parts of you that have been suppressed, neglected, and hidden. As these gain attention and come to the surface they will start to initiate a new awareness of felt sense within you.

The Initiation Process will bring you to a state of embodied readiness for the 8-day in person retreat.

Month 4: 8-DAY DOJO IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE

EMBODIED PRACTICES ON:

“This deeply embodied experience is the opportunity to heal your relational wounds, feel into your capacities beyond your default behaviors and meet whatever arises.

The preceding modules and teachings will lead us to our 8-day in-person embodiment retreat where we will get to work with and through what we realized in the preceding months.

We will journey through our experiences of life, where we have felt neglected or compromised, where we feel unsafe, unmet, or lack of trust, where we may feel unable to play and create, and where we experience grief, anger, and rage within us. Working with our unexpressed parts enables us to taste ourselves more fully and demystify our experience.

Reclaiming our unrealized elements gives us the profound opportunity to transform our way of showing up, meeting life, and moving from reaction into action.

The retreat will provide:

Living Your Leadership

Now it’s time to assimilate and deepen the Living Leadership experience to ground it into an embodied life practice. Leading both yourself and honing your leadership in the world.

This is where the real work begins…

Living Life In Leadership

Broadening, Deepening and Assimilating

Bringing together everything you have learned, realized, and embodied. You will now embark on a profound journey of harmonic assimilation – A comprehensive process of integration. It is here you get to apply what you have realized, ground what you have expressed, and sustainably access the gold you have uncovered.

Witness your applicable results and sustain your breakthroughs as they incorporate into your day-to-day and strength within you.

Synthesizing your experience brings forth a deeply holistic understanding of your true dynamic range and developing this creates the possibility to stabilize it within you. This is a highly responsive process meeting you where you’re at, attuning to your needs and desires, then landing them deeply.

Coalescence Is The Art of Integration.

The DOJO was a profoundly transformative and healing experience. It’s a powerful pattern-breaker and it dramatically increased my abilities to identify old trauma and projections and make life-enhancing vs life-constricting choices in the moment. I am actually happier because of this. – Rob Schuham

TOGETHER WE RISE

TEAM

TOM SLATER

Over the last 7-years, Tom ran, co-facilitated, and evolved the renowned Avalon field alongside Alanja Forsberg and developed the Living Leadership DOJO. It was here that he found what he had been looking for: a container in which to open into greater relational potential and realize his wilder presence.

PLUS A WORLD CLASS TEAM OF CO-FACILITATORS…

JAMES SOL RADINA

James has spent 5 years diving deep into the Avalon-style work as a participant & facilitator.
As a lead facilitator of the Living Leadership DOJO, he is here to deepen his journey into the unknown and further meet layers of himself and others.

We can not do this alone. This type of work is only possible with the help of others that been through our training and have been living in this style of self-leadership in their life. Each cohort will be held by 3-4 co-facilitators.

– JESS MAGIC

The most impactful parts of this was witnessing and being witnessed in deep states of vulnerability, accessing moments and experiences that have had huge impacts on my life.”

– BRADY HEDLUND

“I witnessed and experienced the full spectrum of the human experience, without any external catalysts. I recognized parts of myself that I haven’t accessed before and wasn’t even fully aware of.

– MELISSA OLGUN

“The DOJO was a profound experience of connection, growth, and impact. I feel lucky to have met such beautiful souls to be on this journey with.
