Inner Landscape inquiry is a catalyst for growth
The practice of exploring, acknowledging and observing your Inner Landscape will enable you to expand your capacity, increase your resilience, and shift patterns that are restricting you from achieving your goals.

Are there areas where you wish to grow, improve and transform? You’re not alone.
We set intentions to grow, improve, transform on a regular basis, and we often fail to achieve results against those intentions. The question is to understand why, and now with the help of academic research in the areas of developmental psychology, transformational psychology and adult development, we are able to answer that.
To understand why we are blocked from achieving results we need to look at answers which are held within our Inner Landscape. Through the process of charting our Inner Landscape we are able to create a more open and curious container for allowing the transformation we desire to occur.
Being able to describe your Inner Landscape with words is not easy, as part of the experience you will work with a practical example and use it to chart your Inner Landscape. Together we will arrive at an understanding of:
What are the commitments we have to ourselves, commitments to keep us safe and secure, that limit us?
What are the beliefs we hold to make sense of our world, and is there space for us to get curious about these mental models?
This inquiry into your Inner Landscape is representative of a point in time. Like clouds moving over the mountains, it is always shifting. This gives us the permission to adopt new perspectives, and release that which no longer serves us.
The practice of reflecting on your landscape and experimenting with new perspectives on it will teach you to expand your capacity, increase your resilience, and shift patterns that are restricting you from achieving your goals.
