Question on creating an offering/workshop
This question is mainly geared towards those that host their own workshops, and apprentices who have this skillset too. @Ethan Martin @Viktor Balogh @Brendan Lea @Corentin G @Rob van Ham @Elizabeth Saetia I have a variety of skillsets that I'd like to combine so I can serve others in a new and creative way. For example, I'm skilled in photography, active listening, and in nature adventures. I'd like to leverage these to create a powerful offering for others to get in touch with nature and with themselves. During the process of creating your workshops, what did you find was effective in helping others? Did you offer what has already helped you or combine many things? When do you know a workshop/offering is fully complete? Thank you!

Hey Nick, thanks for the question. From my perspective it always has to start with an experience you want to communicate and share. When you have clarity on this experience have a go at creating a way to get it across. The main difficulty lies in not just your ability and your clarity but in others. Sure you have to get skillful at communicating but that is not enough. You have to get them to the experience from where they are and that will vary a lot. Some will get it easier some much harder. I think use whatever tools you have - combine or not combine - each situation will dictate. Something I think is very important. Ralston is obviously a huge insiration for all of us but a key principle is that it also has to come from you personally. If you can own the topic, you have a far better chance of success. It's still going to be hard and take a lot of time, but that's just the nature of this work if you are realistic about it. About when you know it's complete - you will feel something like at this point it's a great programme/workshop or whatever. But after you do it, you'll probably find lots of places to improve and will need to incorporate lots of feedback. My main advice is to go out and do stuff! Try things out, have the courage to fail and then just keep improving. Be prepared, to be successful, it usually takes much more effort and time than you might expect but that does not mean it is not worth every second of it. Good luck! V
Being complete work
Something to watch out for when doing Being Complete work. There is a strong tendency (it is very strong!) of wanting a better experience when shooting for being complete. It's not going to work that way! You can't want a better experience and be complete. Accept the wanting and make it a neutral experience. Then you can make a distinction between the wanting and just being there. Through this you can notice that it is a separate activity from your being. Good luck!
Thought
Had an insight in the last workshop. I create and then believe in the thought of an "outside world". To this thought I attach emotions, commitments, goals, strategies etc. When I believe in that thought unconsciously. I'm in a mode of constant battle, suffering, managing and chasing. Instead of being truly in contact with the world as it is in the here and now. Thanks

Might it be the same as the social world that we are pointing to? If you are in touch with the world here and now, (real life) and let the "outside world" fade into the background, do you get complete? Great work btw!
