Event Wise

Event Wise training The International Synergy Group trains individuals to function better in society. In the Synergy training, participants work on their personal development (relationships, parenthood, balance in life, etc.). We work with learning methods that follow the natural human behaviour, which work in the same way like learning to walk, taste, feel. We call it learning by experience. Communication with yourself and others is essential to get out the maximum of this training. In the Synergy training we learn how to benefit from experiences in our life in a, enjoyable and dynamic way. During this training the individual is provided with tools which he can reintegrate in his personal or professional life. The training deals with vital questions, such as: what do I want to do with my life? How do I cope with events? How do I build up good relationships, both in private life and in work situations? How do collaboration, self-confidence, parenthood, love, self-expression and other aspects that determine my personal growth make up the framework of my life? Training will first of all focus on actually experiencing one’s own way of doing things. The next step is to explore alternative possibilities to function in society in a satisfying way. How does the training work? Given within a group, synergy training is individual-based. Participants represent a cross-section of society, ranging in age from 17 to 80. You take the training for yourself and with yourself. The exercises (called ‘processes’ in our training context) will be done alternately alone, in pairs or in a group. Giving lectures that provide insight, the trainer will prepare the ground. One process may involve talking, whilst in another you will be listening or visualising certain thoughts with your eyes closed. Exercises will be provided in combination with music, dance or play. All processes will contain an element of surprise, the exact nature of which is not known ahead of time. Time and again, participants will be held a mirror up to their faces in a surprising manner. Questions will thus be prompted that can be answered by the participant alone, namely by experiencing his own reactions. Who can do this training This training is open for everyone from the age of 17. Priority is given for participants older than 30 years (Parents). Translation is available if you need this write this clearly in the application form so we can arrange it. It is open for participants from all countries You will find participant with a variety of occupations and different backgrounds in the training. Basically all people who are interested to improve the quality of there life or environment and want to get the best out of life. How is the synergy training built up? The synergy training is a carefully constructed and comprehensive whole. The training will create, in a simple practical manner, conditions that will enable you to experience how you behave, what effect this has on you and what the consequences can be. Each day during the training period you will build on what has been done the previous day and a new theme will be introduced. The first day the main philosophy of the training will be clarified in a workable and concrete way. Agreement on working together will be made and roles will be clarified. Essential tool of the training will be given and small working groups will be formed. Practical arrangements will be made in order to create a the necessary environment to do the training. The second day will mainly deal with trust. What does trust mean to you? Do you trust others? How do you deal with trust in day-to-day life? How does this affect you and the people around you? How can you use it to greater advantage? This will be a day of many lectures and various processes. In one of these processes you will tell others whether or not you trust them. In another process you will confront yourself with your own certainties. On the third day the seemingly inescapable patterns will be dealt with that may consciously or unconsciously affect your life. What conditions do you allow to affect your life? What automatic responses do you show? How do you sidestep problems? How does this affect your choices and the way in which you conduct your life? How can you improve this? In a process in which you sit opposite each other you see, by alternately talking and listening, how certain people or conditions affect your life. On the fourth day you will examine the image you are using. Do you allow yourself to be spontaneous? How does this affect your relationships? What are the advantages for you? What restrictions do you impose on yourself by acting that way? Could you do it differently? This day will be full of playing. It will be a very dynamic day packed with activity and fun. The fifth day will deal with the question: what do you want in your life? What do you really want? On this day you will confront yourself in-depth with this question, independent of the opinion of others. It is a unique possibility to experience, discover and find out who you are yourself and what you want to do with your life. During the sixth day all experiences and insights gained during training will be combined into one consistent whole. On this day you will be able to form a clear notion of the way you conduct your life and you can choose what you would like to change in it. On the seventh day you are provided with ‘tools’ that will enable you to apply everything you have learned during training and about yourself in day-to-day life. Then there will be time to close the training. Results The training will empower you to become aware of what you want and enable you to create the life that you want.
